Precise Sewer Camera Inspection in Newport Beach, CA

Yes, for the inspection itself. The camera goes in through a cleanout, and the locator reads the camera head's position and depth through pavers, stamped concrete, or planting beds, so nothing on the surface is disturbed. If a repair turns out to need excavation, the mark lets us plan the opening at that one spot, and lining can sometimes avoid digging entirely.

Yes. Restaurants on the Balboa Peninsula and around Lido Marina Village often run late dinner service, so a morning camera run before prep begins usually works best. The work happens at a cleanout, which keeps the dining room and kitchen clear. If the footage shows a repair is needed, we plan it for a slow day or after closing.

Often it does. Along Newport Harbor, shallow groundwater rises and falls with the tide, and a cracked joint or failed seal in a Newport Beach sewer line can let it seep in. The camera records the seepage point, any sand that has washed in and settled, and standing water held in sags, so you can see how the coast is affecting the pipe.

Yes. Commercial associations and property managers receive the recorded video along with written findings and still images of each defect, noted with its location and depth. Many boards keep this in their maintenance files so later repairs, insurance questions, or a building sale can refer back to a dated record of the line's condition.

The locator marks where the defect sits beneath the decking and how deep it is. From there we compare options: opening a small section of deck at that spot for a point repair, or lining the pipe from an existing access point so the deck stays in place. We put the options in writing so the owner can weigh timing and surface impact before approving anything.
