Camera Inspection Service In Big Island, HI FAQs

Does lava rock terrain affect how a sewer camera inspection works on the Big Island?

The camera inspection itself is not affected by the soil or terrain type, since the camera travels inside the pipe rather than through the ground. What lava rock terrain does affect is what happens after the inspection. If the camera reveals damage that requires excavation, breaking through lava rock is significantly more difficult and expensive than trenching through soil. This makes the inspection even more valuable on Big Island properties, since knowing exactly where a problem is located before committing to excavation saves both time and money.

My property is on a catchment water system. Do I still need a sewer camera inspection?

Yes, if your property has a sewer lateral connecting to a county system or a septic system with drain lines. Catchment refers to your potable water supply source and is separate from the drain and sewer system. Camera inspection of drain lines is just as relevant on catchment properties as anywhere else, particularly for septic outlet lines, distribution boxes, and the drain field’s perforated lines, which can collapse, root-invade, or accumulate biomat over time.

Can a camera inspect a septic system's outlet line and drain field connections?

Yes. The outlet from the septic tank, the distribution lines to the drain field, and the condition of drain field laterals can all be inspected with a sewer camera. On the Big Island, where many properties in rural areas and lava zones are on septic rather than county sewer, camera inspection is one of the best ways to assess a septic system’s condition without excavating the entire installation. It’s a practical step before purchasing a property or if you’ve noticed drain field performance issues.

What does a camera technician do if the camera reaches a blockage it can't pass?

If the camera can’t advance past an obstruction, the technician notes the location and nature of the blockage and typically recommends clearing the line first before completing the inspection. After rooter service or hydro jetting removes the obstruction, the camera run can continue through the full length of the pipe. This two-step approach is more thorough than stopping at the blockage and gives a complete picture of the line’s condition from one end to the other.

How far can a sewer camera travel through a Big Island drain line during an inspection?

Standard push cameras used in residential drain inspection can reach 100 to 200 feet depending on the pipe diameter and the number of bends in the line. For longer runs or larger-diameter pipes, a different camera reel may be needed. The technician will assess your property’s pipe layout at the start of the inspection and confirm whether the equipment on hand can reach the full length of the line you need evaluated.
