Pre-lease and pre-purchase inspection
Know whose sewer problem it is before you sign
Lease talks on a downtown Fullerton storefront or an Orangethorpe Ave warehouse usually cover the roof, the HVAC, and the electrical panel. The sewer lateral rarely makes the list, even though it is often the oldest system on the property. We run a camera from the cleanout toward the street connection and record every offset joint, crack, belly, and root mass. If the footage shows grease or scale narrowing the pipe, hydro jetting is the cleaning step that follows.
Every inspection ends with recorded video and a written findings report, with each defect tied to a footage marker so a broker, landlord, or contractor can jump straight to it. Where a defect needs repair, we locate it from the surface with a sonde and mark the spot and depth, so the fix is a targeted dig instead of trenching across a parking lot or a finished floor.

Why VeriTech for sewer camera inspection in Fullerton
Leverage at the lease table
Footage of a cracked or root-filled lateral gives a tenant or buyer something concrete to negotiate with, whether that is a repair credit, a landlord fix, or a revised responsibility clause.
Read for older downtown stock
Historic downtown buildings can still drain through original clay or cast iron. We read joint separation, root intrusion, and interior scaling for what they say about the line's remaining service life.
A dig spot, not a guess
A sonde in the camera head lets us mark each defect's location and depth on the slab or pavement, so a repair crew opens one spot instead of trenching.
A report anyone can verify
Findings are written in plain language with a footage marker for every defect, so an owner, property manager, or general contractor can check each call without watching the full video.
How it works
One call, one accountable team. Here's exactly what to expect.
Access & camera run
We open the cleanout, or identify where one is needed, then run the camera the length of the lateral toward the street connection while recording continuously.
Locate & mark defects
At each crack, offset, belly, or root mass, we pinpoint the camera head from above with a sonde receiver and mark the location and approximate depth.
Video & findings report
You receive the recorded video and a written report listing each defect with its footage marker, location, and our recommended next step: repair, cleaning, or monitoring.

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!

Fullerton Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
Still unsure about something? Call (714) 715-3315 and ask. We're happy to talk it through.
Either can, and it usually makes sense for whichever party will carry sewer responsibility under the lease. We deliver the video and report to whoever engages us, and they decide who else sees it. A tenant planning a restaurant or bar near Harbor Blvd has the most at stake, since a new commercial kitchen adds heavy flow to a line that may already be compromised.
Older commercial laterals are commonly clay or cast iron. In clay we look for roots entering at the joints, cracks, and offsets where sections have shifted. In cast iron we look for interior scale, corrosion, and a worn channel along the bottom of the pipe. Older lines also tend to carry patch repairs from different decades, and the video makes each one easy to spot.
Yes, especially when the improvement adds restrooms, a break room, or process drains that will tie into the existing building sewer. The inspection shows whether the existing line has the condition and grade to take new connections, so the general contractor can plan for it before slab is cut and the schedule is locked.
A belly is a section where the pipe has settled and sags, so it holds standing water and solids. It may not cause a backup right away, but it keeps collecting debris and the problem tends to recur. On camera the lens dips into water, and we note the length and location so a buyer can weigh the repair before closing.
We can often enter through another access point, such as a pulled toilet or a fixture drain, depending on how the building is plumbed. If no practical access exists, we will recommend where a cleanout should go. Adding one is rarely wasted work, because it makes every future inspection and cleaning on that line simpler.
