🔍 What Is a Drain Camera Inspection?

A drain camera inspection is a non-invasive, highly accurate way to diagnose issues within your plumbing system. A flexible, waterproof camera is inserted into your drain or sewer line, sending real-time footage to our technicians. This allows us to visually inspect every inch of your pipes — without tearing up your floors, landscaping, or walls.

Using this method, our team can pinpoint the exact location and cause of your plumbing issue in minutes, whether it’s a root intrusion, cracked pipe, buildup, or corrosion.

💡 Why You Might Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Many plumbing issues start small — but without proper diagnosis, they can quickly escalate into emergencies. Common signs that you may need a drain camera inspection include:

Recurring Drain Backups – If your sinks, tubs, or toilets keep clogging even after cleaning, there’s likely a deeper issue.
Slow-Draining Fixtures – Consistently slow drains may signal buildup, pipe collapse, or misalignment.
Unexplained Odors – Sewer gases escaping through cracked or leaking pipes can create foul smells indoors or outdoors.
Water Damage or Mold Growth – Hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs can lead to costly water damage if left unchecked.
Before Buying or Renovating a Home – A pre-purchase inspection helps you avoid expensive plumbing surprises down the road.
After Major Storms or Flooding – Heavy rainfall and ground shifting can damage underground pipes.

If you’re not sure what’s wrong — but you know something isn’t right — our camera inspection service provides the peace of mind you need.

🔧 What We Can Detect With a Drain Camera

Our inspections uncover issues that traditional methods simply can’t. With crystal-clear video footage, we can locate:

  • Tree root intrusion

  • Collapsed, cracked, or misaligned pipes

  • Blockages from grease, hair, or foreign objects

  • Corrosion or scale buildup

  • Hidden leaks or infiltration points

  • Improper drain installation

  • Lost items (yes, even jewelry!)

Because our cameras are equipped with built-in locators, we can mark the exact spot and depth of the problem, making repairs faster and more efficient.

🏠 For Homeowners: Get Answers Without the Mess

Your home’s plumbing system is one of its most important investments. A camera inspection helps you protect it — especially if your home is older or you’re noticing warning signs like gurgling drains or damp patches.

Instead of tearing up your floors or lawn to “explore,” our technicians can identify the issue with zero damage. It’s fast, precise, and affordable compared to traditional exploratory methods.

Our clients love the transparency — you can even watch the inspection in real-time if you’d like to see what’s going on beneath the surface.

🏢 For Property Managers and Businesses: Prevent Downtime

Drain issues in a commercial property can mean lost revenue, unhappy tenants, and potential health hazards. Regular camera inspections help keep your plumbing systems running smoothly.

We work with:

  • Apartment and condo buildings

  • Restaurants and cafes

  • Retail and office spaces

  • Schools, hospitals, and municipal facilities

Our team can create a custom inspection schedule to proactively identify potential problems — before they affect your business operations.

🌎 Environmentally Responsible Plumbing

Camera inspections aren’t just good for your wallet — they’re better for the environment too. By locating the exact source of a problem, we avoid unnecessary digging, chemical drain cleaners, and water waste. That means less disruption to your yard, less landfill waste, and a smaller environmental footprint overall.
