Stop Guessing. Start Seeing. Pinpoint Sewer Issues with 4K Precision.
We believe the best repair starts with the best data. Our advanced fiber-optic technology travels deep into your mainline to find the "Why" behind your backups without digging a single hole.
We don't just find clogs — we provide a full structural health report on your entire underground system.
We identify hairline fractures in clay pipes and "offset" joints that catch debris and provide entry points for tree roots. Using our Sonde locating technology, we mark the exact surface location of every crack within inches — so if a dig is ever needed, it's surgical not exploratory.
We show you exactly where North End Silver Maples or Bench Sycamores have breached your line. You see the root mass live on screen, and we measure its exact distance from the access point so you know precisely what you're dealing with.
Using on-screen distance counters, we find "low spots" where water pools due to Boise's shifting Bentonite soils. These bellies cause recurring slow drains that no amount of snaking or chemical cleaning will permanently fix.
We identify the "sandpaper" rust buildup inside aging cast iron pipes that causes recurring paper clogs. Left untreated, this scaling eventually causes the bottom of the pipe to rot away — a condition called "channeling" — allowing sewage to leach directly into your foundation soil.
We pinpoint exactly where grease, soap scum, and non-flushable debris have accumulated. This allows us to recommend targeted hydro jetting rather than blanket chemical treatments that damage your pipes.
For Ada County properties on septic systems, our camera inspection checks the condition of the line running to your tank and identifies any backflow risk from an overfull or failing septic system — a critical check for rural Boise-area properties.
The image always stays upright regardless of pipe orientation, making it easy for you to see exactly what's happening. Our 4K resolution captures hairline fractures that standard HD cameras miss entirely — giving you the most accurate structural assessment available in the Treasure Valley.
Our camera heads emit a radio frequency signal. Using a surface locator, we mark the exact spot and depth of any break or problem area on your lawn within inches. This eliminates "exploratory" digging — if a repair is needed, we dig exactly where required and nowhere else.
You receive a narrated digital copy of the full footage immediately after the inspection. This report is accepted by insurance providers for claim documentation, real estate agents for disclosure requirements, and mortgage lenders for property condition verification.
We stand behind our diagnostic work completely. If our camera inspection misses an active problem that is later discovered within 90 days, we return and perform a full re-inspection at zero cost to you. No other Boise sewer company offers this guarantee.

Consider this — a single sewer line issue can quickly reach $5,000, $15,000 or more in repair costs. A $200 camera inspection is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your Boise home. It takes less than an hour and gives you complete certainty about what's happening underground before spending a dollar on repairs.
If your drains back up repeatedly despite snaking or chemical treatments, the real problem is deeper than surface cleaning can reach. A camera tells you exactly what's happening and whether you need trenchless repair or emergency service.
Standard home inspections rarely include the sewer line. A camera scope before closing protects buyers from inheriting a $15,000 problem and gives sellers a "clean bill of health" that speeds up closing and increases buyer confidence — especially for older homes in the North End, East End, and Garden City.
Homes older than 25 years benefit from a sewer inspection as part of a preventive maintenance plan. Boise's pre-1980s homes in the North End, Bench, and Downtown are sitting on clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes that are statistically overdue for failure.
A sewer camera inspection before making home additions is a critical step that most Boise contractors skip. Adding a bathroom, finishing a basement, or expanding your kitchen increases load on your existing sewer line. Knowing its current condition before construction saves you from discovering a failed pipe mid-renovation.
Having your sewer line inspected every few years allows you to quickly spot potential problems like a building clog or crack before they result in major repairs. Think of it as an annual physical for your home's underground system — a $200 inspection today prevents a $5,000 emergency tomorrow.
Jewelry, small toys, or other valuables lost in a drain can sometimes be retrieved using our camera and retrieval equipment before they cause a blockage. Call us before attempting any DIY retrieval which can push the item further into the line.
Don't buy a $15,000 problem. A standard home inspection rarely covers the sewer line — and in Boise's competitive real estate market, this oversight costs buyers and sellers thousands.
Every camera inspection ends with a clear, honest recommendation — not a vague "you might have a problem."
Structurally sound with minor debris. We recommend hydro jetting and follow-up in 2–3 years. No repair needed.
One section cracked or root-damaged. We use trenchless lining on the affected section only — minimizing cost.
Failing Orangeburg, corroded cast iron, or multiple failure points. We recommend full trenchless pipe lining or bursting.
Completely collapsed pipe. We recommend a full sewer line replacement — last resort confirmed by camera.
Most standard mainline inspections in a Boise home take 45 minutes to 1 hour from access point to final report. This includes camera run, Sonde locating of any problem areas, and review of footage with you on-site.
Older North End homes with longer lateral runs or multiple cleanout access points may take 60–90 minutes. We never rush an inspection — every foot of pipe gets documented.
Real estate scopes include a narrated digital report formatted for disclosure documentation. Allow 60–90 minutes including report preparation. Digital delivery within 2 hours of inspection completion.
If you have an outdoor sewer cleanout (black or white cap in the yard), clear away grass or debris around it.
If we need indoor access, clear a 3-foot path in your basement or utility room for equipment.
Avoid running dishwasher, washing machine, or showers 30 minutes before arrival. Standing water reduces visibility.
Secure pets away from the work area — we use long flexible cables near access points.
If you know when your home was built or have had any previous sewer work done, share this with our technician. This helps us identify which pipe material to expect and calibrate our equipment accordingly.
