Quick response and fix of leaking water heater. Also replaced the knobs and fixtures on my washer and dryer. I have 1970s fixtures. Kevin was able to get it all going and my water on in a couple hours! Most excellent service. I don't know how costs compare as I was in emergency mode and got it all done. Certainly NOT complaining. I have them coming out soon to replace shower fixtures that are too hard to turn on. The speed of service was phenomenal. The last time I needed a plumber, (a different one) it took months to complete sink replacement in the bathrooms. I'm very happy.!!!!

Thought my toilet wasn’t working / called Crown and Kevin was here within 30 minutes. False alarm - turns out SJ Water had shut off water to my street with no warning. Kevin saw their truck down the street and talked to them. That was above and beyond. I love Crown Plumbing. Always responsive and people have all been great.

Sewer Camera Inspection Services in San Jose, CA

Our sewer camera inspection services in San Jose, CA, allow us to evaluate your entire plumbing system without unnecessary digging or guesswork.

What a Sewer Camera Inspection Can Detect

Using a flexible, waterproof camera inserted into your sewer line, we can identify:

  • Root intrusion inside pipes
  • Cracked, broken, or collapsed sewer lines
  • Pipe misalignment or sagging sections
  • Grease, sludge, and debris buildup
  • Corrosion and pipe deterioration


This allows us to pinpoint the exact problem and recommend the right repair or cleaning solution.


Drain Camera Inspection
for Accurate Diagnostics

This method is often the first step before services like drain cleaning, hydro jetting, or sewer line repair.

Instead of guessing, we:

  • Locate the exact position of the issue
  • Determine the severity of the blockage or damage
  • Identify whether cleaning or repair is needed
  • Prevent unnecessary work by targeting the problem directly

When You Should Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection

A sewer line inspection is recommended whenever you need clear answers about your plumbing system.

You should consider scheduling an inspection if:

  • You are experiencing recurring drain clogs
  • Multiple fixtures are draining slowly
  • You hear gurgling sounds in your pipes
  • You notice sewer odors inside or outside your home
  • You are planning sewer repair or replacement
  • You are buying or selling a home

Post-Repair Verification and Preventive Inspections

Sewer camera inspections are not only used for diagnosing problems. They are also an important tool for confirming work and preventing future issues.

  • Post-Repair Verification: After services like sewer repair or water jetting, we use a camera inspection to confirm that the issue has been fully resolved and your system is flowing properly.
  • Preventive Maintenance Inspections: Routine inspections can identify early signs of buildup, wear, or damage before they become major problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to schedule is before you know there is a problem. Slow drains, gurgling noises, recurring backups, or foul odors from fixtures are all signs worth investigating. Local homeowners buying or selling a home should also schedule one before closing.

A sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive. The camera feeds real-time video to a monitor as it travels through the pipes, allowing the technician to observe the interior closely without disturbing the landscape or structures above ground.

Most inspections take under an hour. Our team reviews the footage with you on-site and walks you through the findings in plain terms before recommending any next steps.

A sewer line system benefits from inspection every 16 to 24 months. Older homes and properties surrounded by mature trees may warrant more frequent checks, given the higher risk of pipe deterioration and root intrusion.

The camera’s built-in locator transmits signals to the surface, allowing technicians to mark the exact spot of any issues found — so repairs target only what needs attention. Homeowners avoid paying for guesswork or excavation work that turns out to be unnecessary.
