Before-and-After Sewer Camera Inspection in Tustin, CA
A light industrial suite is about to be saw-cut for a new tenant's floor drains, and nobody has looked inside the old lateral beneath it in years. In Tustin, where decades-old commercial buildings are re-tenanted while new ones rise on the former Marine Corps air station, VeriTech runs a sewer camera inspection before a build-out starts and again after it finishes.

Bracket the build-out
Film the line before the saw cut and after the finish
Tenant improvements change what a sewer line carries, and sometimes the line itself. Demolition can drop concrete slurry, tile grout or drywall compound into an open drain, and a new restaurant kitchen sends far more grease into a lateral that once served a quiet retail shop. A camera run before work starts shows the existing pipe while the floor is already open, so any repair can go to our sewer services crew and fit inside the same schedule.
The second run comes after the contractor wraps up. It confirms that new connections are tied in cleanly, that no construction debris settled in the line, and that the pipe still drains with proper fall. That pair of recordings protects the landlord and the incoming tenant alike: if a backup appears in month three, both sides can compare it against footage taken on day one.

Why VeriTech for sewer camera inspection in Tustin
Day-one footage both sides keep
Landlord and tenant each get the same before and after recordings, so a later backup can be traced to an existing defect or to the build-out without a long argument.
Repairs folded into the build-out
If the pre-demolition run finds a cracked joint or an offset, the fix can happen while the floor is already open and the contractor is still mobilized, not after the tenant moves in.
Retail-to-restaurant conversions
When an Old Town storefront or a space at The District at Tustin Legacy becomes a kitchen, we check whether the existing lateral is in shape for a heavier grease load.
New construction, verified
Brand-new lines at Tustin Legacy can still hold construction debris or a sag from settled backfill. A recorded run before handover documents their condition while the general contractor is still on site.
How it works
One call, one accountable team. Here's exactly what to expect.
Baseline before demolition
We open the cleanout, record the existing lateral toward the public connection, and mark defects and old tie-ins on the slab so the contractor sees them before cutting.
Coordinate with the contractor
Findings go to you and your general contractor with repair options, so any sewer work is scheduled inside the build-out rather than after the tenant opens.
Verification run at completion
After construction, we record the line again, confirm new connections and cleanouts, check for debris, and deliver both videos with written findings side by side.

We needed our plumbing fixed and took a chance with this company… IM SO GLAD I DID!! I never leave reviews but they left no room for improvement. Luis was extremely helpful and explained any questions I had! They were priced extremely well and very fair. I would HIGHLY recommend and will continue to go with them 10/10 times.
We had a clogged drain line. Tyson showed up on time and was very courteous and professional. He was able to fix our line in no time. Great service! I would 100% recommend VeriTech and Tyson!
I'm so glad that I came across VeriTech plumbing. They sent in Luis and he was very professional and did an amazing job. If we ever need any more work done on our property, we'll be calling VeriTech plumbing and asking for Luis! I highly recommend him!

Ideally before demolition begins, or at the latest before the slab is saw-cut. At that point the existing line can be recorded as it is, defects can be marked on the floor, and any repair can be planned into the build-out. Waiting until the walls are up usually means opening finished surfaces later.
Common finds include concrete slurry from saw cutting, tile grout, drywall compound, and scraps of pipe or fittings that dropped into an open drain. Slurry and grout can harden in place, so the post-construction run is the moment to catch them before the tenant starts relying on the line.
A camera inspection is the way to find out. A kitchen sends grease, food solids and hot water into a line that may have carried little more than restroom waste. We record the existing pipe, note scale, joint condition and any sags, and tell you whether it looks ready or needs cleaning, repair or replacement before the kitchen opens.
New pipe can still come with problems: debris left from construction, a joint that was not fully seated, or a low spot where backfill settled. Recording the line before the space is accepted documents its condition while the general contractor is still involved, so a correction can be handled as a punch-list item instead of a dispute.
Usually, yes. In multi-tenant centers and business parks, the suite under construction often shares a building sewer with occupied neighbors. We time the camera run for a lower-flow period and coordinate with the property manager, so the line can be recorded without shutting down the neighbors' restrooms or kitchens.
