If your drains are slow, toilets are gurgling, or you’re buying an older Sacramento home, you have an invisible problem: your main sewer line. Standard home inspections overlook the true condition of this critical infrastructure. An undetected crack, severe root intrusion, or collapsed pipe can quickly lead to an emergency repair costing $6,000 to $30,000. Stop guessing! Get certainty with our professional sewer camera inspection.

See the Problem, Skip the Shovel
We use specialized, high-definition inspection technology (a borescope) that is inserted into your main line via an accessible access point. This non-invasive video inspection gives us a 360-degree, real-time view of your entire sewer system, from your property to the city main.
We accurately diagnose the exact cause of slow drains or backups without digging up your yard:
Tree Root Intrusion – A constant, common threat to Sacramento’s older sewer pipes. Our camera inspections in Sacramento clearly show the extent of root intrusion and affected sections.
Structural Damage – Cracks, breaks, or corrosion (common in old cast iron or Orangeburg pipes). Video inspection identifies damage severity in your plumbing systems.
Pipe Bellies – Dangerous sags in the line where waste collects, causing chronic clogs and recurring plumbing issues.
Fixed Price Clarity & Expert Diagnosis.
When you’re dealing with a sewer, the proof is in the pudding – or rather, the pipe. Our inspection services provide you with a crystal-clear report and video evidence. You get an accurate diagnosis of the underlying issue, allowing you to differentiate a simple clog (easy fix) from a complex structural failure (major repair).
We provide all options for permanent solutions, including non-invasive trenchless repair methods, backed by transparent, fixed pricing. You will receive a clear quote and video before agreeing to any major repair work. This gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what you’re facing.

5 Star Plumbing Reviews
The technician, Mze, arrived with a helper to diagnose the issue. They were both professional and took the time to listen to the sounds and inspect the drainage system. After a thorough look, they explained that the sounds were actually normal for my specific setup and didn't indicate a major clog or venting problem.
I really appreciated their honesty—it’s refreshing to have a service team that doesn't try to upsell you on unnecessary repairs when everything is functioning as it should. If you are looking for a reliable team that values integrity and quality service, I highly recommend Mze and the crew at 4 Star.


Highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and professional plumbing work.
But the plumber olejandro was extremely good and was able to quickly find the cause of the leak. He then gave me an estimate for the fix. I paid the $150 service charge which they said would be deducted from my final estimate. I received the invoice but no call back for the actual work. However i was reached out by the company with an apology. So im giving 5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
