📹 Why Sewer Camera Inspections Are Worth It in Bakersfield Homes

If you’re tired of guessing what’s causing constant backups, foul sewer smells, or gurgling toilets, a sewer camera inspection is your best next step. At A3 Plumbing, we help Bakersfield homeowners across Silver Creek, Seven Oaks, Belle Terrace, and beyond see exactly what’s happening underground.

🔍 What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

We feed a small, waterproof camera into your sewer line through an existing cleanout. The real-time footage shows us exactly:

- Where the blockage or damage is

- What’s causing it (roots, grease, pipe collapse, etc.)

- How far down the line the issue occurs

This removes all guesswork and saves you money by pinpointing the exact problem.

⚠️ Signs You May Need a Camera Inspection

If you live in Bakersfield and notice these signs, it’s time to schedule a video inspection:

- 💧 Frequent clogs in multiple drains

- 🚽 Toilet gurgling or backing up into showers

- 🌳 Tree roots near older sewer lines

- 💀 Sewer odor in or around your home

- 💸 You’re buying a home and want peace of mind

🎯 Why Bakersfield Homeowners Choose Camera Inspections

✅ Saves Time & Money

No digging or unnecessary repairs — we find the source fast.

✅ No Guessing

You’ll see what we see. Every inspection includes video footage.

✅ Plan Repairs Accurately

Know whether you need a spot fix, hydro-jetting, or full repipe.

✅ Ideal for Older Homes

Many Bakersfield neighborhoods like Laurelglen and Kern City have aging clay or cast iron sewer pipes.

🧰 Pair It With Hydro-Jetting for Maximum Results

In many cases, we follow a camera inspection with hydro-jetting to blast away sludge, grease, and roots. The combo restores flow and prevents future backups.
