Inspect
We use RIDGID sewer camera equipment to examine the line for blockages, roots, damage, offsets, standing water, and other visible conditions.
For HOA communities
Evidence a board can actually make a decision on
Common-area sewer problems become board decisions: about shared cost, competing vendor recommendations, and what to tell owners. Documented condition is what makes that decision defensible.
The decision is collective, which changes what it needs
A homeowner deciding about their own lateral can act on a contractor’s word. A board cannot. It is spending shared money, answering to owners, and often choosing between vendors whose recommendations differ.
That raises the value of evidence that does not come from a party quoting for the work. Footage and findings from a company that does not perform repairs are something a board can put in front of owners and in front of competing bidders.
Common areas and shared lines
Communities frequently have shared laterals, common-area drainage, and lines whose responsibility boundary between association and owner is not obvious. Establishing the condition and the position of a defect is a precondition for even discussing who bears what.
We document where a defect sits along the line. Who is responsible for that point is a question for the association’s governing documents and its own advisers, not for us.
Planning rather than reacting
Recurring backups in a community produce repeated emergency spend and repeated owner complaints. Establishing which lines are actually deteriorating allows work to be planned into a budget cycle rather than arriving as an unbudgeted assessment.
Comparing vendor recommendations
Where a board has conflicting quotes, the underlying disagreement is usually about interpretation rather than facts. An independent survey gives every bidder the same evidence to price against, which tends to make the quotes comparable and the disagreement smaller.
Documentation for owners
A record of condition over time supports the board’s account of what was known and when, useful when explaining a decision to owners who were not in the room for it.
Independent sewer inspection & second opinions
Before You Approve an Expensive Sewer Repair, Get an Opinion With Nothing to Sell
A sewer backup or major repair recommendation can make a costly decision feel urgent. The Sewer Pros inspects and documents the condition inside your sewer line so you can understand what is actually happening before you approve cleaning, excavation, lining, or replacement.
Because we do not perform sewer repairs or replacements, we do not profit from selling you the work. Our role is to inspect and document visible conditions, explain what we found in plain language, and give you an honest opinion you can use to make the next decision.
Get an Independent Second Opinion
Already received a repair recommendation? Bring us in for an independent second opinion before you sign off on major work.
Document
We inspect and document visible conditions inside the line, so you are not forced to rely only on a verbal repair recommendation.
Decide
Use the findings to determine whether the issue calls for cleaning, monitoring, a repair estimate, or another qualified opinion, without pressure to buy a repair from us.
Do not approve a major sewer repair based only on a sales-driven recommendation. The Sewer Pros does not repair or replace sewer lines, by design, so we have no repair contract to sell. Get a documented second opinion before you approve the expense.
How we work
The inspection is the product
Finding out what is happening in the line is the job, not a step toward selling a repair.
You see the evidence
Conditions found in the line are documented so you can look at them yourself.
Sewer and drain specialists
Sewer inspection, diagnostics, locating, and cleaning, rather than general plumbing.
The next step stays your decision
If the line needs work beyond cleaning, you decide what to do about it and who does it.

Answers to common questions HOA Communities have
Two vendors gave us different recommendations. Who is right?
Often both are reading the same ambiguous evidence differently. An independent survey gives every bidder the same documented facts to price against, which usually narrows the disagreement considerably.
Can you tell us whether the association or the owner is responsible?
No. We document what the condition is and where along the line it sits. Who is responsible for that point is a question for your governing documents and your own advisers.
