Como Park Sewer handles sewer camera inspection in St. Paul, MN and across the East Twin Cities metro. A standard inspection takes about an hour and typically runs $150 to $350. In most cases we can have a camera in your line within 24 hours of your call.
What We Do
We run a high-definition, self-leveling camera through your sewer line on a flexible push rod. The camera sends live video to a monitor, so you can watch with us as we move through the pipe. A built-in transmitter marks the exact spot and depth of any problem we find. At the end you get a recorded video of the full run plus a written report you can keep or share with any contractor.
How It Works
- We find the best access point, usually a cleanout in your basement or yard.
- We feed the camera through the line and record the entire run, from the house out to the city main.
- We flag any cracks, root intrusion, offsets, or bellies, and mark their location and depth above ground.
- We walk you through the footage on site and hand over the video file and a plain-English report the same day.
Local St. Paul Context
Much of St. Paul, including Como Park, Roseville, and other first-ring suburbs, still runs on clay tile sewer lines laid decades ago. Twin Cities freeze-thaw cycles shift the soil around those old joints every winter, opening gaps that let roots in. A camera inspection is the only way to see that damage without digging up your yard.
What It Costs
A sewer camera inspection in the St. Paul area typically costs $150 to $350, depending on line length and access. That fee is often credited toward repair work if you book it with us. For repair pricing and what drives it, see our full St. Paul cost guide.

If the camera finds a pipe that is still structurally intact but cracked or invaded by roots, sewer pipe lining (CIPP) can seal it without a trench. When the pipe has degraded past lining but not fully collapsed, trenchless sewer repair (pipe bursting) replaces it through two small access pits. For a pipe that is fully collapsed we handle full sewer line repair or replacement, and if the camera just shows roots, our tree root removal crew can clear them on the same visit. If you are just trying to figure out how much longer your original clay lateral has left, our guide to clay sewer pipe lifespan in the Twin Cities walks through what the camera is likely to show by construction decade.
