Diagnose Before You Dig
This is the core of how Rubber Duckie Plumbing operates: we never recommend sewer work without showing you what’s wrong first.
Our HD sewer camera gives you a clear, real-time look inside your sewer line. You see exactly what we see — roots, cracks, bellies, buildup, or a clean pipe. Combined with our line locator, we pinpoint the exact location and depth of any problem underground.
No guesswork. No unnecessary digging. No pressure to buy repairs you don’t need.

What We Look For
During your camera inspection, we’re checking for tree root intrusion, pipe cracks and fractures, offset or separated joints, bellied (sagging) pipe sections, grease and scale buildup, corrosion and deterioration, and collapsed or crushed sections. Every finding gets explained in plain language — not plumber jargon.
Camera + Locator = Precision
The camera tells us what’s wrong. The locator tells us where it is. We mark the exact spot on the surface so if sewer repair is needed, the excavation is as small and targeted as possible. That means less disruption to your yard and lower repair costs.
A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a small, waterproof HD camera into your sewer line. The camera transmits real-time video so we can see the condition of the pipe from the inside — identifying clogs, root intrusion, cracks, bellies, and other issues without any digging.
A camera inspection shows you exactly what’s wrong and where. Without one, a plumber is guessing — which can mean unnecessary digging, wrong repairs, or missing the real problem. Camera-first means you only pay for what actually needs fixing.
Sewer camera inspection pricing varies. Call us for straight pricing — no hidden fees. We also include camera inspection with our drain cleaning services so you can see the results.
Sewer cameras can detect root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe cracks and fractures, offset joints, bellied (sagging) pipe sections, corrosion, collapsed pipes, and blockages. We also use a locator to pinpoint the exact location and depth of problems underground.
Absolutely. A pre-purchase sewer inspection can save you thousands by revealing hidden sewer problems before you close. Older homes in Sacramento often have clay or Orangeburg pipe that may be deteriorating underground. It’s one of the best investments you can make during a home inspection.
A sewer locator works with the camera to pinpoint the exact position and depth of the camera head underground. This lets us mark the precise location of a problem — like a root intrusion or crack — on the surface, so if repair is needed, we dig in exactly the right spot with minimal disruption.
A typical sewer camera inspection takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the length and condition of the line. We walk you through the footage in real time and explain what we’re seeing.
Yes. We can provide you with the camera footage so you have documentation of your sewer line’s condition. This is especially useful for real estate transactions or insurance documentation.
