Sewer Camera Inspection in Big Bear Lake, CA

Starting at $175 24/7 Emergency Service Available

See Inside Your Pipes Before You Dig

A sewer camera inspection takes the guesswork out of drain and sewer problems. We feed a high-definition waterproof camera through your pipes and show you exactly what’s going on — root intrusion, pipe breaks, bellied sections, buildup, or collapsed lines.

No trenching. No guessing. Just a clear picture of your plumbing system’s condition.

When You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection

  • Recurring drain clogs — same drain, same problem, over and over
  • Buying a home — especially older Big Bear cabins with original plumbing
  • Sewage odor in or around your home
  • Slow drains throughout the house (multiple fixtures affected)
  • Foundation cracks or unexplained settling
  • After a major storm or freeze — to check for damage before it becomes an emergency
  • Before a remodel — knowing your pipe condition before adding fixtures or moving walls saves expensive surprises

What the Camera Reveals

  • Tree root intrusion — roots grow into pipe joints and cracks, eventually blocking flow
  • Pipe breaks or cracks — from ground shifting, freezing, or age
  • Bellied pipe — a section that sags and collects water and debris
  • Buildup — grease, scale, or mineral deposits narrowing the pipe
  • Offset joints — pipes that have separated at connection points
  • Pipe material — cast iron, clay, PVC, or orangeburg (and the condition of each)

Our Process

  1. Access a cleanout or drain opening
  2. Feed the HD camera through the pipe while recording
  3. Mark locations of any problems with an above-ground locator
  4. Provide you with the video and a clear explanation of what we found
  5. Recommend next steps — repair, replacement, or monitoring

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQ

Common questions about sewer camera inspection in Big Bear Lake.

What method do you use for drain cleaning?

We start with a cable machine for most clogs. For stubborn blockages, tree root intrusion, or recurring problems, we use hydro jetting — a high-pressure water system that scours the inside of the pipe clean. We can also run a sewer camera to see exactly what's causing the problem before we start.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We carry a California C-36 plumbing contractor's license, general liability insurance, and workers' compensation coverage. We're happy to provide documentation on request.

Do you offer free estimates?

We provide free estimates for non-emergency scheduled work — water heater replacements, repiping, sewer line work, and fixture installations. Emergency and diagnostic calls have a service call fee that gets applied to the repair if you move forward.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the entire Big Bear Valley — Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Fawnskin, Moonridge, Sugarloaf, Erwin Lake, Baldwin Lake, and Lake Williams. We also cover the mountain corridor including Running Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Blue Jay, Skyforest, and Crestline.
