Sewer Line Camera Inspection St. Louis | Gateway Sewer Pros

Sewer Line Camera Inspection in St. Louis

Before any sewer repair, you need to know exactly what’s wrong. Gateway Sewer Pros uses high-resolution sewer cameras to inspect your line from cleanout to main, identifying cracks, root intrusion, offsets, bellied sections, and blockages. We provide a full video recording so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

What a Camera Inspection Reveals

• Root intrusion from trees or shrubs
• Cracked or fractured pipe sections
• Grease and debris buildup
• Pipe offsets or separated joints
• Bellied sections where the pipe has sunk
• Collapsed sections requiring full replacement

We provide this service across the metro — see our St. Charles and Webster Groves pages, or all services.

What the Camera Actually Shows

A proper inspection is more than pushing a camera down a pipe. The scope carries a transmitting sonde, so we track its position from the surface and mark the exact location and depth of any defect on the ground above it. That is what turns a hundred-foot replacement into a thirty-foot repair. On the footage you can see pipe material and its transitions, root mass and where it entered, cracks and offsets at joints, bellies holding standing water, and grease or scale buildup. We record it and give you the file, whether or not you have the work done with us — it is your line and your evidence, and it is worth having if you are dealing with a builder warranty, a home sale, or a second opinion.

Common Questions

Should I get an inspection before buying a house?

Strongly recommended, particularly in the older inner-ring suburbs where clay laterals under mature trees are the norm. A standard home inspection does not include the sewer lateral, and a failed lateral is a five-figure surprise that shows up after closing.

How long does an inspection take?

Under an hour for most residential laterals, including locating and marking any defect. We go through the footage with you at the end rather than emailing a report you cannot interpret.

Do I get a copy of the video?

Yes, always, and at no extra charge. If you want a second opinion the footage travels with you.
