Sewer Camera Inspection in Salt Lake & Utah Counties
A camera inspection trades guesswork for a live look inside your sewer line — pinpointing roots, cracks, offsets, bellies, and the real reason a drain keeps backing up, so the next step is based on what's actually there.

Understand the problem
Better decisions start with visible evidence
Drain symptoms look alike even when the causes are worlds apart. A camera shows whether a line is coated in grease, invaded by roots, offset at a joint, holding water in a sag, or cracked open — the difference between a $250 cleaning and a repair you'd want to see before paying for.
Jetstar Plumbing and Drains runs camera diagnostics on accessible sewer lines across Utah County and Salt Lake County. The inspection pays for itself after a recurring clog, before any dig or line repair, and any time an owner or manager wants proof of a line's condition instead of a verbal hunch.
Two local situations make a camera especially worth it. First, home purchases: much of the Salt Lake and Utah County housing stock is old enough to sit on clay or cast-iron sewers, and a pre-purchase camera inspection can surface a five-figure sewer problem while it's still the seller's to deal with. Second, before excavation: locating the defect and its depth from the surface means any digging is aimed at the failure instead of trenching a yard to find it. In both cases the inspection turns 'something's wrong with the sewer' into a located, measured fact — which is what keeps a repair honestly scoped.
Talk through the symptomsScope
What a camera inspection finds
Cracks and offsets
Separated joints, broken sections, and alignment shifts that explain why a line keeps catching debris and backing up.
Buildup and obstructions
Grease, sludge, scale, and lodged objects seen firsthand so the right cleaning method is chosen the first time.
Bellies and standing water
Low spots that pond wastewater and trap solids — a grade problem a camera catches that a cable never would.
Know the signs
When a sewer camera is worth using
If these symptoms are active or worsening, call before water or wastewater creates a larger problem.
A clog keeps coming back
Clearing the same drain over and over without a camera just resets the clock on a cause nobody has actually looked at.
A repair is on the table
Video and locating define exactly where and how bad the problem is before you commit to excavation or a line replacement.
Roots were just removed
The inspection shows where they got in and whether the pipe has a defect that will let them straight back.
You're buying an older home
A pre-purchase inspection can reveal a costly sewer problem while it's still negotiable — cheap insurance on a big purchase.
Straight answer on price
What a sewer camera inspection costs
Camera inspection pricing depends on how the line is accessed and whether locating is included. We confirm the scope before the camera goes in. What affects the cost:
Typical range
$150 – $400
Typical Salt Lake & Utah county range. Your exact price is quoted before any work begins.
Length of the line
A short branch inspection is quicker than pushing a camera through a full main run.
Access point
An existing cleanout keeps it simple; reaching the line through a fixture adds labor.
Locating and depth marking
Marking the exact spot and depth of a problem on the surface is extra but essential before digging.
Standalone or paired
An inspection bundled with cleaning or repair usually prices differently than a one-off scope.
Inspect → act → verify
What to expect during the inspection
- 01
Choose access
We find a suitable cleanout or approved entry point for the camera, and note if the property would benefit from a proper cleanout.
- 02
Navigate the line
The camera is advanced through the accessible pipe while the technician reads the condition on the monitor with you.
- 03
Locate findings
Footage distance plus a line locator narrow where a significant defect sits and how deep it is from the surface.
- 04
Review options
We walk you through what the camera showed and connect it to cleaning, monitoring, spot repair, or replacement — with pricing.
