How Long Does a Camera Inspection Take?

How Long Does a Camera Inspection Take? — Answered by Sunburst Environmental, Metro Atlanta’s drain jetting specialists.

Most residential camera inspections take 30–60 minutes.

That’s from arrival to completion, including setup, the inspection run, and walking you through what we found. Shorter lines — a simple kitchen drain or bathroom drain — take less time. A full sewer lateral inspection (from your house to the city main) takes longer, usually 45–60 minutes.

Commercial properties with longer lines, multiple drain runs, or limited cleanout access can take 2+ hours. We’ll give you a better estimate based on your specific situation when you call.

One factor that can extend the time: if we find something unexpected — a collapse, severe blockage, or a section that needs closer examination — we’ll slow down and make sure you understand exactly what we are seeing. You’re watching the monitor with us. We’re not going to rush past something important.
