Accurate, Non-Invasive Sewer Line Inspections in San Francisco
When your drains clog frequently or you suspect sewer damage, guessing isn’t an option, you need answers. At Discount Plumbing Rooter Services, we use advanced sewer camera inspections to pinpoint problems in your sewer and drain lines quickly and accurately. Our video inspection technology helps us locate cracks, roots, blockages, and corrosion without any digging or damage to your property.
About Our Sewer Camera Technology
We use high-resolution fiber optic sewer cameras that navigate smoothly through your pipes. At the tip of each camera is a transmitter that sends live footage and signals directly to our diagnostic tablet, letting our technicians see exactly what’s going on underground.
This allows us to:
- Identify the exact location and cause of your plumbing issue
- Detect cracks, breaks, offsets, and root intrusion
- Map out the entire sewer line for accurate repairs or replacements
- Provide you with recorded video and written reports for reference or city compliance
Our trained technicians interpret the footage in real time and recommend the most effective repair or maintenance solution for your home.
How Sewer Camera Inspections Work
A sewer line inspection starts with accessing your system through a cleanout or other entry point. If your drain is clogged, we’ll first clear it using snaking or hydro jetting to ensure a clear view. Then:
- Camera Insertion: A flexible camera is inserted into the pipe.
- Location Tracking: Built-in transmitters allow us to trace and mark problem areas above ground.
- Diagnosis & Report: We identify the issue, document findings, and provide professional recommendations.
If required, we can send your inspection report directly to city or utility officials for sewer compliance requests.
When to Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection
Regular inspections can prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs.
You should schedule a camera inspection if you’re experiencing:
- Frequent clogs or backups in drains
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
- Slow drainage throughout your home
- Unexplained odors or moisture around your yard
- Older plumbing systems or outdated materials (like clay or Orangeburg pipes)
We also recommend sewer camera inspections before major repairs, home purchases, or remodels to ensure your plumbing system is in good condition.

Fast workPosted on Morgan ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Javier and Ricardo did an amazing job! Our hot water line to the washing machine wasn’t working and they worked quickly and efficiently to fix the problem even having to move a heavy washer/dryer from a small closet to access the lines. Ricardo even came back out the next day to check on when we noticed condensation from the machines and wanted to make sure there was no leak.Posted on Rebecca LazarusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo was awesome. Prompt, professional and got our drain unclogged in no time. Now that I have his card I won’t call anyone else when I need plumbing help.Posted on Ricquel FordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Discount Plumbing for help with my toilet, and they sent Ricardo. Honestly, he was the best! Not only did he take care of the toilet, but he also looked at everything else just to make sure things were good. He showed up in a decent time, was 100% transparent with estimates and next steps,and has great music taste.Highly recommend Ricardo!Posted on Racquel CelestialTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo was great!! Solve my clogged laundry drain. Thanks so much!Posted on CynthiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo came to my home within hours of contacting him to fix a leaking toilet. He replaced the wax ring, discovered that the main supply line was cracked, and took care of that as well. He even used a camera to show me the condition of the pipes and recommended descaling since they’re cast iron from the 1960s. We went ahead with the descaling to help clear them out and prevent future issues and offered a two year warranty. He also reached out to a restoration service to come assess the water damage. I really appreciated his help, attentiveness, and the time he took to walk me through everything.Posted on Erin LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricardo was helpful, professional and quickly diagnosed our issue with a jammed garbage disposal. It was easy to schedule a same day appointment and he arrived on time.
