What we do for Nampa homeowners
A sewer line inspection should give you real answers, not a vague opinion. Here's what a visit with us covers:
- Run a full-length camera from cleanout to main, whether your Nampa property sits in the historic downtown grid or a newer subdivision near Lake Lowell
- Identify pipe material on screen, clay, cast iron, or PVC, and flag sections nearing the end of their service life
- Check every joint for root intrusion, cracking, bellies, and offset separation before it becomes a bigger job
- Handle pre-purchase inspections so Nampa's fast-moving resale market closes on documented facts
- Hand over the recorded footage and a written report for your file or a real estate transaction
- Coordinate straight through to repair if the camera does find a problem, no handoff to another company

What the inspection actually looks like
First, we track down your cleanout, which on Nampa's older downtown-grid homes is sometimes buried under years of landscaping and on newer construction near Lake Lowell is usually easy to spot; either way, we'll locate the right access point before running anything. A push-camera then travels the full length of the line while the technician watches a live monitor and explains each finding as it appears on screen, root intrusion, a cracked or offset joint, a bellied section holding water, or a line that's simply in good shape. A locating transmitter marks the exact depth and position of anything worth flagging from the surface. You leave with the recorded footage and a written report, and if the camera does turn up a problem, we quote that separately and in writing before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a sewer line inspection cost in Nampa?
We give you a flat-rate price in writing before we run the camera, based on your line's length and access, so the quote doesn't change once we're on site.
Is Nampa's downtown-area pipe older than what's near Lake Lowell?
Generally, yes. The historic grid near downtown tends to run original clay or cast iron, while newer construction toward Lake Lowell and the northwest side is mostly PVC. A camera inspection confirms which one you have.
Can you inspect a home before we close on it?
Yes, pre-purchase inspections are a regular part of what we do in Nampa's active resale market. You get the video and written report before you sign anything.
Do I get a written report, not just a verbal opinion?
Yes, you get the recorded footage and a written summary of what the camera found, useful for your own file or a real estate transaction.
How long does the inspection take?
Most residential visits in Nampa take under an hour, camera run, footage, and a walkthrough of what we found before we leave.
