Sewer Inspections Get to the Root of the Problem
Never dig blindly again!
Video sewer inspections pinpoint exactly what’s wrong inside your sewer or drain lines in real time without the guesswork. Because it’s non-invasive, there’s no need to dig up your yard or disrupt your property. That means faster diagnosis, lower repair costs, and fewer surprises down the road.
How the Sewer Inspection Process Works
To assess what sewer repair is needed, our team inserts a high-definition camera into your sewer or drain lines, giving real-time footage of your system. The camera helps identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, collapsed sections, and other hidden issues that traditional methods often miss.
Need a copy of the video for yourself, your plumber, your insurance company, or your realtor? No problem! A written report and recommendations are provided the same day.
Benefits of a Video Sewer Inspection
A professional sewer inspection or drain inspection offers peace of mind for buyers and accurate diagnosis for homeowners. By pinpointing the exact problem, our technicians recommend cost-effective repairs and help you avoid disruptive surprises.
When working with Sewer Ninjas, our technicians will:
- Detect cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and other hidden pipe damage.
- Get a more accurate repair recommendation based on real footage.
- Save you money by addressing the problem the first time.
- Provide documentation you can share with your plumber, realtor, or insurance company.
Inspections for New Home Purchases
Standard home inspections rarely include sewer scopes. Without a sewer inspection, hidden issues like cracks, root blockages, or collapsed lines may go unnoticed until sewage backs up. Insurance usually won’t cover pre-existing sewer problems, leaving you with expensive repair bills.
Scheduling an inspection adds another layer of protection by showing the actual condition of the line before you buy. You’ll receive documentation you can share with your plumber, realtor, or insurance company and get a more accurate repair recommendation based on real footage.
When Should I Schedule?
The best time to schedule a sewer inspection when buying a new home is during the contingency period. This gives you leverage to negotiate repairs or credits if issues are found before you actually purchase.

Testimonials
Trusted by homeowners, buyers, and contractors who need a sewer inspection they can rely on. Hear why Sewer Ninjas is the go-to choice for reliable findings and actionable next steps.
In both the initial assessment and the actual work, the guys came in quickly and effectively got the work done. they were very open to sharing what they were doing and answering all my questions. I thought this was really important since most homeowners (like me) don't know how their sewers work and need to trust the people doing the work.
Fantastic business. Owner Eric really knows his stuff and tech Jeff as well who is always on time professional and easy going. I’ve worked with them multiple times as a homeowner and realtor. Always my first recommendation. Sure… things can get expensive but you wouldn’t complain about a roof costing 10k so why complain about getting you SEWER fixed?? 10/10
We were referred to Sewer Ninjas by Milwaukee Drain Company after discovering we needed our sewer cleaned—but quickly realized we didn’t have an access point due to the old plumbing in our Milwaukee bungalow. Even though our first appointment had a hiccup, Jeff stepped in immediately, resolved the issue, and truly went above and beyond to make things right. He was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Sewer Ninjas turned a frustrating situation into a smooth, stress-free experience. We’ll definitely be working with them again in the future—top-notch service and a great partner to have on your side!
After unsuccessful snaking, this company was recommended, and I could not be happier. From the after hours call the owner made to us to the actual sewer line clean out, these workers are professional and respectful of the home they are in. Everything was fully explained, and the work site mess was at an absolute minimum. They said they would get it open or be able to show why not and were men of their word, issue solved and pipe open as they said they would do. Would not hesitate to recommend this company, fast, quality work, a rarity these days.
Sewer Ninjas is an honest company that strives to provide the best work possible for their customers. We had a series of tree roots growing through our sewer line, and the team scheduled an appointment quickly and removed them. They documented everything with video which made the insurance claim very easy. We also had them reline the existing pipe, and while that process did have a few hiccups, the team returned multiple times to correct the issues and ensure the job met their standards. This definitely impacted the profitability of the job, but Sewer Ninjas prioritized job quality and the long-term health of our home. They offer a strong warranty, and given my experience, I have no doubt they will stand behind it if future issues arise. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Sewer Ninjas Q&A
Most video sewer inspections are completed within a few hours, with a report and recommendations provided the same day. Depending on access, line length, and what the camera finds, the process is designed to give you fast answers without digging.
A typical inspection covers a camera scope of the main sewer line, timestamped digital footage, a written report, repair recommendations, and same-day delivery without the need for digging. We can also provide the video for you, your plumber, your insurance company, or your realtor, helpful for repair planning, documentation, or real estate negotiations.
No, a sewer inspection isn’t legally required, but neither is a standard Wisconsin home inspection. Skipping a video sewer inspection could leave you responsible for thousands in repairs. A quick sewer line check before closing is strongly recommended.
We recommend sewer inspections every few years for homeowners who are proactive in maintenance. If you’ve never had an inspection and experienced clogs, foul odors or backups, now is the time to schedule. Older homes with cast iron pipes are most at risk for underlying issues and if left untreated, could lead to major damage & repair costs.
If you are in the process of buying a new home in Wisconsin, the best time is during the contingency period. This gives you leverage to negotiate repairs or credits if issues are found before closing.
