Plain-language findings

Homes on septic still have a sewer line. It runs from the house to the tank, and on many systems more pipe carries effluent from the tank to the drain field. A camera inspection of these lines checks the parts of a septic system that a routine tank pumping does not reach.

What the camera looks for

  • Roots at joints between the house and the tank
  • Sags where the line has settled into soft backfill
  • Breaks near the tank inlet, a common spot for settling damage
  • A missing or broken inlet baffle, visible where the line enters the tank
  • Crushed or blocked distribution pipes, where the system design lets the camera in

Buying a home on septic

Some states and counties require a septic inspection when a property changes hands, and lenders sometimes ask for one. Those inspections usually focus on the tank and the field. Adding a camera run on the house-to-tank line covers the pipe in between. Ask what the required inspection in Hingham, MT includes so the two visits do not overlap.

Upkeep that protects the line

The EPA notes that household septic tanks are typically pumped every three to five years. Keep vehicles off the line and the field, and do not plant trees near either. Garbage disposals and wipes add solids that settle in low spots, so a line with a sag fills faster in homes that use them.

Septic Line Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Septic Line Inspection

Questions we hear most often about Septic Line Inspection in Hingham, MT.

Talk to a real person
What is a belly in a sewer line?
A belly is a section of pipe that has sunk lower than the pipe on either side, usually because the soil underneath settled or washed out. On video it shows up as standing water that the camera dips into. Waste and paper collect in the low spot, so a line with a belly tends to clog again and again. Shallow bellies may only need monitoring; deep ones often need the section re-laid.
What does an offset joint mean on my inspection report?
An offset means two pipe sections no longer line up at the joint, so one edge sticks into the flow. Soil movement, settling, roots and freeze-thaw cycles can all cause it. A slight offset may cause no trouble, while a larger one catches paper, lets roots in and can stop a cleaning cable. The report should list how far down the line each offset sits.
What is Orangeburg pipe, and why do inspectors flag it?
Orangeburg is a fiber pipe made from wood pulp and coal tar pitch, installed widely from the 1940s into the 1970s. After a few decades underground it starts to soften, blister and flatten under the weight of the soil, and on camera it often looks oval. Because it keeps deforming, most owners plan to replace it rather than patch it.
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.
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.
