Sewer Camera Inspection in Santa Monica, CA
Know What Is in the Line Before You Buy, Dig or Pay for a Repair
Nobody should replace a sewer line — or buy a building attached to one — on a guess. Rooter & Plumbing Masters provides sewer camera inspection in Santa Monica, CA: a high-definition camera run through the lateral, recorded, with the footage handed to you and explained plainly.
Santa Monica’s housing is older than it looks. The courtyard apartment buildings of Ocean Park, Mid-City and the Pico neighborhood and the pre-war homes north of Wilshire mostly still run their original clay or cast-iron laterals, and many have changed hands several times with nobody ever looking inside the pipe. A camera inspection is the only honest answer to what condition it is in — and in a city where a lateral replacement is one of the most expensive surprises a property can hold, it is the cheapest question you will ask.

Plumbing Tips
What a Camera Inspection Shows
A waterproof HD camera on a flexible push rod travels the full length of the line, with a locator that marks depth and position from above ground:
Root intrusion — where, how much, and whether the joint it entered through is still intact
Cracks, breaks and collapsed sections — the difference between a spot repair and a full replacement
Sags and offset joints — the low spots that collect solids and cause the backups a cleaning only fixes for a month
Scale and grease buildup — what hydro jetting would clear, versus what is structural
Where the line actually runs — so any repair opens one spot, not a trench
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a Santa Monica property?
Yes, for anything built before about 1970, and for any multi-unit building regardless of age. The general home inspection does not include the sewer lateral, and it is the one system that can cost more to replace than a roof. We record the run and give you the footage to use in negotiation.
Do you inspect the line after a repair to prove it was done right?
Yes, and you should ask for that from anyone who works on your sewer. A post-repair camera run confirms the fix, and the footage is yours to keep for the next owner, the next tenant or the next plumber.
