Independent sewer inspector in Kansas City

Need a second opinion before approving sewer work? GroundTruth provides independent sewer camera inspection with video and written documentation so you can make a decision without repair sales pressure.

Why people choose GroundTruth
Independent, inspection-only service with video + written documentation. No repairs. No upsell. Use the findings with the contractor of your choice.

What “independent” actually means

Most sewer inspections are attached to a repair company. That isn’t automatically wrong—but it does mean the same company diagnosing the issue is also selling the solution.

GroundTruth is different: we document the condition and provide an unbiased summary. You choose the contractor and the scope.

  • Independent — no repair sales incentive
  • Documented — recorded video + written findings
  • Unbiased — second opinions that protect homeowners

When to call an independent sewer inspector

Before you buy a home

A sewer problem can turn into a surprise $10,000+ project. A camera inspection can identify bellies, roots, offsets, and breaks before closing.

After a big replacement quote

If you received a $10,000+ quote, get video-based documentation first. Replacement can be correct—but it should be supported by evidence.

Odor, gurgling, or backups after rain

Storms can expose partial blockages and sewer bellies. If your basement smells like sewer after rain, don’t wait for the next storm.

Recurring clogs that “come back”
