What a useful sewer camera inspection report should contain

A video file without an explanation can be difficult to use. A useful inspection package connects the recording to the property, access point, distances, and defects. It also says what could not be seen. Ask what you will receive before booking.

Identify the inspection

The report should connect the address and date to a stated starting point and direction. Ask whether distance readings and defect locations will be noted. If cleaning is needed first, distinguish the initial obstruction view from the after-cleaning survey.

Look for observations and limitations

Roots, cracks, offsets, standing water, and material changes should be described clearly. The report should state if the lens view is obstructed or the camera cannot pass a section. Neither a blurry image nor an incomplete run supports a fully confident diagnosis of the unseen pipe.

Keep a usable record

Request a shareable video format and a written summary that separates urgent findings from optional improvements. Ask for a located surface position before invasive work. The recording is useful for comparing proposals, property discussions, and checking the finished repair later.

Your next-step checklist

  • Request video and a written findings summary
  • Record access point and direction
  • Keep a copy outside the provider’s temporary link
