The video clearly identifies the property, access point, direction, date, and inspected line

Critical item

Media should be traceable to the exact repaired segment.

The recording is continuous, viewable, and distance-referenced

Critical item

The inspection should not skip questionable areas and should preserve usable footage.

Joints, transitions, alignment, cracks, deformation, roots, and deposits are evaluated

Critical item

The report should distinguish repaired, existing, and unresolved conditions.

Branch connections, cleanouts, taps, and termination points are identified

Critical item

Connections should remain open, correctly oriented, and serviceable.

The line is clean and demonstrates acceptable drainage under an appropriate flow observation

Construction debris and residual blockage should not remain after repair.

Video, stills, written findings, repair map, limits, and warranty are delivered

The owner should receive permanent evidence and clear remaining limitations.

Use after sewer repair, lining, cleaning, or replacement and before final payment. A camera image is evidence, not a substitute for engineering or authority acceptance when those are required. Do not enter contaminated, structurally unsafe, energized, confined, or oxygen-deficient areas; do not open pressurized systems or handle sewage. Use qualified plumbing, electrical, remediation, environmental, and structural professionals where applicable.
