A sewer camera inspection is the only way to know exactly what's happening inside your pipes. Precision Plumbing Services uses professional video inspection technology to diagnose sewer and drain issues at the root cause throughout Southern Maryland.
Sewer problems are often invisible until they become serious. Camera inspection technology allows us to see inside your pipes and identify exactly what's causing problems — whether it's root intrusion, pipe damage, grease buildup, or a collapsed section.
Maryland's older housing stock and mature tree canopy make root intrusion one of the most common sewer problems we find throughout Calvert County, Anne Arundel County, and Charles County. The trees that make neighborhoods like Annapolis, Davidsonville, and Dunkirk beautiful are constantly seeking out moisture in sewer pipe joints. Camera inspection identifies exactly where roots have entered the pipe and the extent of the damage, allowing for targeted repair rather than guesswork.
We strongly recommend sewer camera inspections before purchasing any home in Maryland — especially homes built before 1990 with cast iron or clay sewer lines. What looks like a minor drain issue on the surface can be a collapsing sewer line that costs tens of thousands of dollars to replace.
After inspection, we provide a detailed report with video footage and our recommended course of action. You'll know exactly what's in your pipes and what it will take to fix it — before any work begins.

Consider a sewer camera inspection if you have recurring drain clogs, slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, wet spots in the yard, or before purchasing a home. It's also valuable after a major sewer backup to understand the cause and prevent recurrence. For Maryland homes built before 1990, a camera inspection every few years is good preventive maintenance.
A sewer camera can identify root intrusion, pipe cracks or breaks, pipe bellies (low spots where debris collects), grease or scale buildup, offset joints, collapsed sections, and foreign objects. In Maryland homes, root intrusion from oak, maple, and willow trees is one of the most common findings.
A typical sewer camera inspection takes 1–2 hours depending on the length and complexity of the line. We'll provide you with a video recording and written report of our findings.
Yes. Pre-purchase sewer camera inspections are one of the most valuable investments a Maryland home buyer can make. A standard home inspection doesn't evaluate the sewer line condition. We've found collapsed sewer lines, severe root intrusion, and failing Orangeburg pipe in homes that otherwise looked fine.
