Sewer Camera Inspection in Omaha & Gretna, NE
Need a sewer camera inspection in Omaha or Gretna? A sewer camera inspection, also called a sewer scope inspection, runs a waterproof, high-definition camera on a flexible cable through your main sewer line, from the house out toward the city main. Our technicians watch a live video feed as it goes, so the video inspection shows exactly what's inside the pipe: roots, cracks, offset joints, sags, buildup, or a collapsed section. JTM Plumbing & Drain runs camera inspections across Gretna and Omaha starting at $180, and you always get the video and a description of what we found.
Serving Omaha homeowners since 2004, we use the camera to answer the real question before anyone picks up a shovel: is this a clog we can clear, or sewer line damage that needs repair? Call Gretna (402) 203-6193 or Omaha (402) 933-3690.
What a sewer camera inspection finds
- Tree roots growing in through joints and cracks
- Cracks and breaks that let water out and soil in
- Bellies: low spots where the pipe has sagged and waste sits
- Offset or separated joints that catch everything passing through
- Grease, scale, and buildup narrowing the line and setting up a sewage backup
- Collapsed sections, plus what your pipe is made of (clay, cast iron, or PVC)

Sewer scope inspections for home buyers
A general home inspection usually doesn't look inside the sewer line, and once you close, the line from the house to the city main is yours to maintain. In an older Omaha home it's often as old as the house itself. A sewer scope inspection before closing tells you what condition the line is in, and gives you video to take back to the seller if it needs work.
Older Omaha neighborhoods like Dundee and Benson still run original clay and cast-iron sewer lines, and the metro's mature trees send roots straight into those joints. Newer Gretna, Elkhorn, and Papillion homes run PVC, which holds up better but can still sag or separate. A camera inspection shows which problem you actually have, so you're not paying to dig up a yard for a clog that cleaning could fix. Call the Omaha line at (402) 933-3690.

Yes. Every inspection comes with the video and a description of what we found, so you can keep it for your records, a home sale, or a second opinion.
No. Drain cleaning clears what's inside the pipe. A camera inspection shows the condition of the pipe itself, so you know whether a clog will keep coming back because of roots, a crack, or a sag.
