Drain & Sewer Camera Inspection Services

We use a fiber optic camera attached to a long, flexible cable, which is a cost-efficient way to detect leaks. It is inserted through a single access point and provides our service technicians with a high-resolution view of the interior of your pipes. Long fiber optic cables can be extended as far as several hundred feet down your pipes during a real-time visual inspection. Regulatory officials use these same cables to ensure piping is up to code.

It’s not uncommon for leaks to occur in an out-of-sight area. Not only can such leaks be a detriment to your water efficiency, but they may also lead to structural damage, rotting, or mold, resulting in costly repairs. Using our next-generation technology, we can find the exact spot to repair. An honest and competitive quote every time. Our X Protects standard means we never upsell a project just to charge more. We offer homeowners a variety of options, so you can make the most practical, cost-saving decision. As an added benefit to you, when we inspect your plumbing lines, we welcome you to view your piping along with us. We’re also more than happy to provide you with a copy of our findings for your records.

Video sewer line inspections allow us to spot leaks with speed and accuracy. We look for cracks, breaks, misaligned pipes, and loose connections where sewage is leaking from. We can identify cracked or collapsed drains right away so we can go ahead and fix them. If there is a clog, we can see exactly where the blockage is, making it easy to go in and clear it. We can even take mineral build-up measurements to determine the best solution for correcting the problem and ensuring it doesn’t come back anytime soon. Other issues we look for are rust, corrosion, and tree root intrusion. Trees send out their roots to search for water underground, and sewer lines are a reliable source of water. If there is any moisture around the pipe, tree roots can grow around, into, and inside of it, causing a host of problems. If you notice slow drains, sewage backups in your home, or sewer odors, it’s time to call a technician to conduct a real-time analysis using an advanced video camera system.

• Time and cost savings: Without cameras for inspection, the only way to find plumbing problems is to break up walls or dig underground. Investigating your sewer line this way often means digging by trial and error, which is disruptive, tedious, and expensive.
• More efficient repairs: We can check aging sewer lines, which enables us to see early signs of corrosion and deterioration and prevent the need for major repairs later. It also shows us exactly where to do hydro jetting or trenchless pipe relining, if necessary.
• Locating clogs and obstructions: When we see a clog, we can determine the best way to clear it or break it up. If it turns out to be a valuable item, sometimes we can retrieve it. Depending on the blockage, we can make recommendations for preventing future issues, especially if it is grease, oil, hair, or mineral buildup.
• Real-time mapping of sewer lines: If you are planning renovations or construction, we can use our sewer camera inspection system to measure pipe lengths and other specifications, tracing your sewer lines to identify exactly where they are.
• Inspection of new homes: We can help meet regulatory requirements for inspections or check plumbing and sewer lines before you move into a new home. This way, you can know exactly what problems if any are lying hidden on the property.
