Sewer Camera Inspection
Stop guessing about what's wrong underground. A-1 Trenchless runs a high-definition sewer camera through your line to find breaks, roots, bellies, and blockages exactly — a free video inspection that tells you the real problem before anyone digs.
See the Problem Before You Pay to Fix It
The most expensive sewer mistake is digging in the wrong place or replacing a line that only needed a cleaning. A camera inspection removes the guesswork. We feed a waterproof CCTV camera down the line and watch a live, high-definition feed of the pipe's interior — locating cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, sags (bellies), grease, and scale, and marking exactly how far down the line each problem sits.
That footage drives an honest recommendation: sometimes it's a simple cleaning, sometimes descaling, sometimes a spot repair, and sometimes a trenchless replacement. Either way, you see what we see and get a clear, upfront estimate. It's also essential before buying a home — a sewer inspection can reveal a five-figure problem hiding under the front lawn.
Why a Camera Inspection First
WSSC Licensed #71483
A-1 Trenchless is a WSSC-licensed, insured water & sewer contractor — the credentials required to legally work on sewer and water service lines across the DC metro.
Trenchless Specialists
We specialize in no-dig pipe bursting and lining, so most sewer lines are replaced without tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping.

Our Water & Sewer Services
From free camera diagnostics to descaling, hydro jetting, and trenchless replacement, A-1 Trenchless finds the problem and fixes it right.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Pipe bursting and CIPP pipe lining replace a failed sewer line with no digging up your yard — a brand-new pipe, often in a single day.
Sewer Line Descaling
Mechanical descaling scours years of rust, scale, and buildup out of old cast-iron pipe, restoring full flow without a full replacement.
Sewer Camera Inspection
High-definition CCTV video inspection pinpoints breaks, roots, bellies, and blockages exactly — a free sewer video inspection before any work begins.
Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning
High-pressure water jetting cuts through grease, roots, and hardened debris to fully clear drains and main lines — far beyond what a cable snake can do.
Water Line Repair & Replacement
Repair or replacement of leaking, aging, or lead water service lines — trenchless where the line allows, and restored clean when excavation is needed.
Excavation & Line Replacement
When a pipe is beyond repair, our own excavation crew replaces it and restores your yard afterward, including grading, seed, and straw.

What Our Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across Montgomery County & the DC metro
A-1 replaced our collapsed sewer line with pipe bursting — no trench across the yard. Camera inspection first, honest estimate, and done in a day. Saved our driveway and our lawn.
Recurring backups for years. A-1 hydro-jetted the main line and showed me the before/after on camera. Completely clear now. Wish I'd called them first.
Old cast-iron pipe was almost fully scaled shut. They descaled it instead of pushing a full replacement — flow is back to normal and they saved us thousands. Honest crew.
Free camera inspection found the exact break under the walkway. Trenchless replacement meant no demolition. Professional, licensed, and fair. Highly recommend.
Water service line was leaking and pressure was terrible. A-1 replaced it and restored the yard with seed and straw. You'd barely know they dug. Great work.

Bought an older home and had A-1 do a sewer camera inspection before closing. Caught a bellied line the home inspector missed. That inspection paid for itself many times over.
Prompt, WSSC licensed, and they explained everything with the camera footage. No upselling. Cleared a root-clogged line and gave me options. Trustworthy company.
Main sewer replacement done trenchlessly. The crew was respectful, clean, and finished faster than I expected. The yard was left in great shape. Would use again.
Descaling brought our 1950s cast-iron drains back to life. They camera-scoped before and after so I could see the difference. Excellent, honest service.
From the free estimate to the finished job, A-1 was straightforward and skilled. Trenchless sewer repair with zero damage to the landscaping. Couldn't be happier.
