TL;DR
A sewer camera inspection is the examination of a drain or sewer line by pushing a self-leveling video head on a flexible rod through the pipe while recording footage and noting distances. A locating transmitter on the head lets the technician mark the exact surface position and depth of breaks, root intrusions, bellies, and offset joints.
