Montana's long winters and deep frost put sewer lines under real stress, and lines buried too shallow can freeze. Rocky ground in the mountain valleys makes excavation slow, so finding the exact defect location first is worth it. Older homes in Butte, Helena and Great Falls may have clay or cast iron laterals, while many rural and ranch properties use septic systems. For a property in Montana, Sewer Inspect Pros books a sewer camera inspection that records the line from the house to the main or tank.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Common questions about Sewer Camera Inspection in Montana — answered by our local plumbers.

Talk to a real person

How long does a sewer scope take?

A typical residential scope takes about an hour, sometimes less. Extra time goes into finding or opening an access point, clearing a blockage so the camera can pass, or locating the line from above. Long laterals, commercial mains and lines with several branches take longer.

Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street?

In most U.S. cities the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to at least the property line, and often all the way to the connection at the public main, including the part under the street. Rules differ from city to city. Check with the public works department that serves Montana before you approve repairs, so you know which section is yours.

Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?

Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.

What happens if the camera can't reach the public main?

Cameras can stop at a heavy blockage, a collapsed section, a sharp bend or a deep belly full of water. The report should note the distance where the camera stopped and why. Often the line is cleared and the run tried again, or the tech enters from a second access point. A stop point is a finding in itself, since it marks where something is wrong.

Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?

Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.
