OUR SERVICES
Sewer camera and whole-property plumbing inspections in Pleasant Hill. Recorded footage, a written summary, and no pressure to buy anything afterward.
OVERVIEW
A plumbing inspection tells you what condition a property is genuinely in, before it becomes an emergency or a negotiation. For buyers in Pleasant Hill that means knowing whether the sewer lateral has years left or months. For owners it means catching a failing line while it is still a repair rather than a replacement.
Much of Pleasant Hill went up in the early 2000s, which puts a lot of original builder-grade equipment right at the age where replacement rather than repair becomes the honest answer.
All work is performed in compliance with the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code as adopted by the State of Iowa.

WHEN AN INSPECTION IS WORTH IT
An inspection is cheapest at the moment it is easiest to act on what it finds.
A standard home inspection does not put a camera in the sewer lateral. That line is among the most expensive things on a property and the least visible.
Two or three calls on the same line is the point to stop clearing it and start finding out why it keeps happening.
Opening walls and floors is the cheapest opportunity you will ever get to see and fix what is behind them.
Plenty of properties have never had a camera in the lateral. Age alone justifies one look, and it costs far less than a surprise.
They leave the bowl intact and stop at the first grade change, and in newer Pleasant Hill homes they are the most common blockage we remove.
Twenty years in, most Pleasant Hill laterals have never had a camera in them. That is worth correcting before there is a problem.
INSPECTION SERVICES
For buyers, owners, landlords, and anyone about to open a wall.

Fixtures, supply, drainage, water heater, and shutoffs, documented so you have a baseline rather than an opinion.
Recorded footage of the full run, with the position and depth of any fault marked from the surface.
For a line that keeps failing, an inspection that answers why instead of simply clearing it one more time.
Knowing what is behind the wall before the wall opens, so the budget does not move halfway through the project.
Landlords and buyers documenting condition across units before it turns into a dispute.

Almost never. A standard home inspection is visual and does not put a camera in the lateral, which is exactly where the most expensive surprises are. It is a separate service.
A sewer camera inspection on its own is usually under an hour. A full property inspection takes longer, depending on the number of fixtures and how accessible the water heater and shutoffs are.
Yes, a written summary plus the recorded camera footage. Both are yours to keep and to share with whoever you like.
That is one of the main reasons people book one. Recorded footage of a failing lateral is a great deal more persuasive than a verbal opinion.
Then that is what the report says. A clean result on an older property is genuinely useful information, and it is a common outcome.
Pleasant Hill is our closest suburb at roughly six miles and we run 24 hours, so same-day is normal and an active leak or backup goes to the front of the schedule.
For plumbing installation and repair, yes, issued through the Pleasant Hill Building Department at 5160 Maple Drive, Suite A. Routine drain cleaning is maintenance and does not require one.
No. DMWW maintains the Pleasant Hill water distribution system and handles billing, including the sewer line item, but anything inside your property line is a plumbing call.
