Video Camera Inspections

Sewer & Drain Video Camera Inspection in Miami

Stop guessing what is inside the pipe. A high-definition camera run gives you the condition, the material, the depth and the exact location of the problem before anyone digs.

A camera inspection is the cheapest hour you can spend on a drain problem. It converts an expensive guess into a known quantity: what the pipe is made of, how far the defect is from the cleanout, whether the line is offset, cracked, bellied or root-bound, and whether cleaning will fix it or replacement is the only honest answer.

Lorente Plumbing Services runs self-levelling HD camera equipment with an on-screen distance counter and a sonde locator, so we can mark the exact spot on your yard, driveway or floor where the defect sits.

What a camera inspection tells you

Pipe material and age

Cast iron, clay, Orangeburg, PVC or ABS — each has a different lifespan and failure mode, and each changes the repair plan.

The exact defect and its distance

Cracks, collapses, offsets, bellies, separated joints and root intrusion, with footage counted from the access point.

Precise ground location

A sonde in the camera head lets us mark the spot on the surface, so excavation is a small hole and not a trench.

Cause of recurring clogs

Whether you have a blockage problem or a structural problem. They get very different repairs.

Pre-purchase sewer scope

Before you close on a Miami property, know whether the sewer lateral is sound. It is one of the most expensive things a home inspection does not include.

Documented proof

Recorded footage and stills you can keep, share with an insurer, an HOA board or a seller, or use to compare quotes.

When a camera inspection pays for itself

  • Before buying any property built before 1990 in Miami-Dade
  • Repeated main line backups in the same building
  • Before paying for a sewer line replacement quote you cannot verify
  • Sinkholes, soft spots or unusually lush grass over the sewer route
  • After roots have been cut once already
  • Before a remodel that will cover the floor over old drain lines
  • When an insurer or HOA asks for proof of pipe condition
  • Anytime a plumber recommends digging without showing you why

Inspection plus the license to act on it

Plenty of companies will sell you a camera run. Fewer hold the underground utility and excavation license needed to repair what the camera finds. We hold CUC1226156, so the same company that shows you the broken lateral can legally replace it.

That continuity matters — nothing gets lost between the inspection company and the excavation crew.

FAQ

Video Camera Inspections — frequently asked questions

Do I get a copy of the video?

Yes. We provide footage and still images from the inspection, along with our written findings.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

A typical residential main line inspection takes under an hour, depending on access and how much cleaning is needed to get a clear view.

Can you inspect a line that is completely blocked?

We usually need to clear or partially clear the blockage first so the camera can pass. We can do both in the same visit.

Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house in Miami?

Yes, especially for older properties. Standard home inspections do not include the sewer lateral, and replacing one is a five-figure surprise.
