A camera inspection identifies the cause and location of plumbing problems before repairs begin. Instead of relying on guesswork, our technicians inspect the inside of the pipe to determine the correct solution.

Sewer Camera Inspections
A sewer camera inspection allows our technicians to inspect the main sewer line for root intrusion, pipe separation, grease buildup, collapsed sections, and other underground problems. If the inspection shows structural damage, we recommend sewer line repair. If the pipe only contains buildup, sewer cleaning or another cleaning method may be the better solution.
Drain Camera Inspections
Kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and floor drains develop blockages from grease, soap residue, food debris, and mineral deposits. A camera inspection identifies the exact location and cause of the obstruction before recommending drain cleaning or another repair.
Video Pipe Inspections
A video pipe inspection records the condition of the plumbing system using a high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable. This allows our technicians to locate hidden defects without unnecessary excavation or damage to your property.
What Is a Drain Camera Inspection?
A drain camera inspection uses a waterproof camera to inspect the inside of drain and sewer pipes. Live video allows technicians to identify problems that cannot be seen from outside the plumbing system. A sewer line camera provides accurate information that helps determine the right repair instead of relying on assumptions.

Drain Camera Inspection vs Traditional Plumbing Diagnosis

- Locate problems accurately
- Reduce unnecessary excavation
- Confirm the source of recurring plumbing issues
