Wisconsin winters push frost deep into the ground, and Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay have many older homes with clay sewer laterals under mature street trees. Heavy storms have backed sewage into basements in parts of the Milwaukee area, which makes it worth knowing whether your own lateral leaks or is in good shape. Rural homes often use septic. A sewer camera inspection for a property in Wisconsin records the condition of the full line. Sewer Inspect Pros books the inspection.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Common questions about Sewer Camera Inspection in Wisconsin — answered by our local plumbers.

Talk to a real person

Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street?

In most U.S. cities the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to at least the property line, and often all the way to the connection at the public main, including the part under the street. Rules differ from city to city. Check with the public works department that serves Wisconsin before you approve repairs, so you know which section is yours.

Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?

Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.

Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?

Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.

How often should a sewer line be inspected?

There is no single rule. Many owners scope a line when they buy a home and again only if symptoms show up. Homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg pipe, large trees nearby, or a known defect being monitored benefit from a scope every year or two. Comparing each new video with the last one shows whether anything is changing.

Do I get to keep the sewer inspection video?

You should. Ask for the recorded footage as a file or link, along with the written notes, before the visit ends, and keep it with your property records. The video helps with repair bids, home sales and insurance questions, and it gives you a baseline to compare against if the line starts acting up years from now.
