Hawaii is working to replace tens of thousands of cesspools under a state law that requires them to be upgraded or converted by 2050, so many owners are learning what their sewer setup looks like for the first time. Lava rock makes excavation slow, and salt air and warm, wet conditions are hard on older metal pipe. A camera inspection on a home in Hawaii shows whether the line runs to a cesspool, septic tank or public sewer, and what shape it is in before any conversion work. Sewer Inspect Pros books the scope with a local tech.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Common questions about Sewer Camera Inspection in Hawaii — answered by our local plumbers.

Talk to a real person

How long does a sewer scope take?

A typical residential scope takes about an hour, sometimes less. Extra time goes into finding or opening an access point, clearing a blockage so the camera can pass, or locating the line from above. Long laterals, commercial mains and lines with several branches take longer.

What is a belly in a sewer line?

A belly is a section of pipe that has sunk lower than the pipe on either side, usually because the soil underneath settled or washed out. On video it shows up as standing water that the camera dips into. Waste and paper collect in the low spot, so a line with a belly tends to clog again and again. Shallow bellies may only need monitoring; deep ones often need the section re-laid.

What affects the price of a sewer camera inspection?

Price depends on how easy the line is to reach, how long it runs, whether it has to be cleared before the camera can pass, whether a locate and written report are included, and whether the job is residential or commercial. A line with an outdoor cleanout is simpler than one that means pulling a toilet or going in through a roof vent. Ask what the visit includes when you book.

What happens if the camera can't reach the public main?

Cameras can stop at a heavy blockage, a collapsed section, a sharp bend or a deep belly full of water. The report should note the distance where the camera stopped and why. Often the line is cleared and the run tried again, or the tech enters from a second access point. A stop point is a finding in itself, since it marks where something is wrong.

Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?

Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.
