Older housing stock throughout New Orleans, Metairie, and the surrounding parishes often still runs on original cast iron or clay sewer lines, decades old and prone to root intrusion, joint separation, and corrosion. A camera inspection is the only way to see the actual condition of that line rather than guessing based on age alone, which matters most before buying a home, after recurring drain problems, or before committing to a larger repair.

Call 504-500-4709Access to a cleanout or an appropriate entry point is what we need most. If that’s accessible from outside the home, we can often complete the inspection without you present, though we recommend being available to review the footage and ask questions afterward.
Yes. The camera can travel the full length of the lateral line, including the section running under your yard to the city connection, which is often exactly where root intrusion and joint separation occur in older neighborhoods.
Pricing depends on line length and accessibility. We provide upfront pricing before starting, and many customers combine a camera inspection with a cleaning or repair service for better overall value.
Yes, especially for homes with any age to them. A standard home inspection typically doesn’t include the sewer line, and a camera inspection can reveal expensive problems, like root intrusion or a deteriorating clay line, before you close on the property.
