A camera inspection of the main sewer line catches roots, breaks, and blockages that no standard inspection can see — and that can cost thousands to fix.

We feed a waterproof, self-leveling camera into the main sewer line through a cleanout or other access point and record its full run from the house to the municipal connection. You see the same footage we do — the real condition of a pipe that's otherwise buried and invisible.
It's the one part of the home a standard 120-point inspection physically can't reach, which is exactly why it's worth scoping before you close.

Hutchinson's established neighborhoods and tree-lined boulevards create the exact conditions sewer lines fail under.
Mature boulevard trees seek out the moisture in old clay-pipe joints, eventually choking the line and backing it up into the basement.
Minnesota frost heave and soil settlement shift buried pipe, creating low spots that trap waste and joints that no longer line up.
Older homes were plumbed with clay and cast iron that cracks, scales, and collapses with age — invisible until the line fails.
Roots growing through joints and cracks — the most common cause of sewer backups in older neighborhoods.
Fractured, scaled, or collapsed sections of clay and cast-iron pipe that restrict or block flow.
Sags in the line where waste and water pool instead of draining, leading to recurring clogs.
