How Video Camera Inspections Work

Camera Insertion: 
  • We insert a high-definition, waterproof camera into your sewer or drain line. This camera is attached to a flexible cable that can navigate through pipes of varying sizes and shapes.
Live Feed: 
  • As the camera moves through the pipes, it sends real-time video footage back to a monitor on-site. Our technicians can see and assess the condition of your pipes, identifying any blockages, cracks, tree root growth, corrosion, or other issues.
Detailed Analysis: 
  • Using the camera footage, we analyze the problem, identify the exact location and severity of any issues, and discuss the findings with you. You’ll receive a detailed report, complete with images or video clips of the affected areas.
Customized Solutions:
  • After the inspection, we will recommend the best course of action to fix the issue—whether it’s a simple cleaning, repair, or more extensive work like pipe replacement or trenchless pipe lining.

Benefits of Video Camera Inspections

  • Accurate Diagnosis: Avoid unnecessary guesswork. Video camera inspections provide clear, visual evidence of the problem, helping us diagnose the issue with pinpoint accuracy.


  • No Mess, No Digging: We don’t need to dig up your yard, driveway, or flooring. Our camera inspections are a non-invasive method of checking the condition of your pipes.


  • Cost-Effective: By pinpointing the exact location and nature of the issue, we can offer targeted repairs, which saves you money in the long run.


  • Peace of Mind: You’ll have full visibility into the condition of your pipes, helping you avoid future problems and allowing for early intervention when needed.

When to Consider a Video Camera Inspection

You may need a video camera inspection if you’re experiencing:

  • Frequent Clogs or Blockages: If your drains or sewer lines keep getting clogged, a video inspection can reveal whether the issue is due to tree roots, buildup, or pipe damage.
  • Slow Draining: If your water drains slowly from sinks, tubs, or toilets, it could indicate a hidden issue in your sewer or drain system that needs attention.
  • Sewer Line Backups: If you’re dealing with raw sewage backups, it’s crucial to understand the underlying cause to prevent further damage.
  • Foul Odors: If there are persistent sewage smells around your property, a camera inspection can help determine if there’s a crack or leak in your sewer lines.
  • Buying or Selling Property: Homebuyers or sellers often use video inspections to ensure that the plumbing system is in good condition before finalizing a sale.
