Reliable, Accurate Sewer Line Diagnostics You Can Trust

At Dirtworks Northwest, we specialize in professional sewer camera inspections for residential, commercial, and municipal properties in Bonney Lake, WA and the surrounding Pierce County areas. If you're experiencing slow drains, repeated backups, or suspect damage in your sewer line, our video camera inspections offer a fast, cost-effective way to pinpoint the issue—without tearing up your yard.

What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection is a modern, non-invasive method of inspecting the condition of your underground sewer lines. Using a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible rod, we’re able to visually assess your pipe’s interior in real-time.

The process allows us to:

• Identify blockages, cracks, collapsed sections, or root intrusion

• Detect buildup from grease, sludge, or corrosion

• Verify proper pipe slope and flow

• Locate problem areas without excavation

• Document issues with a detailed video recording and report

Sewer camera inspections are especially valuable before buying a new home, after major plumbing issues, or if you're considering sewer line replacement.

When Should You Schedule a Sewer Line Camera Inspection?

Many sewer issues go undetected until they cause expensive damage. If you’re noticing any of the following signs, it’s time to call Dirtworks Northwest:

• Frequent toilet or drain backups

• Unexplained foul odors in your home or yard

• Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets

• Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers

• Soggy patches in your yard or lawn

• Unusual increases in your water or sewer bill

• You’re planning a remodel or buying a home

Our sewer scope inspections can catch minor issues early—before they turn into major, costly repairs.
