A camera inspection takes the guesswork out of any drain or sewer problem. We feed a waterproof, high-definition camera through your line and watch it on a monitor in real time — locating cracks, roots, bellies, blockages, and collapses to the exact foot.
That means no unnecessary digging and no blind repairs. Whether you have recurring clogs, you're buying a home, or you need to confirm the cause before a major repair, an inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of your plumbing's condition.

What a Camera Inspection Reveals
Root Intrusion
Tree roots invade pipe joints and cause repeat backups. The camera shows exactly where they've broken in.
Cracks & Collapses
We see broken, offset, or collapsed sections so the repair targets the real problem, not the whole line.
Bellies & Blockages
Sagging pipe sections trap waste and cause slow drains. The camera locates the low spot precisely.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a home? Know the true condition of the sewer line before you close — it's one of the costliest repairs.
When You Need a Camera Inspection
A camera inspection saves money by finding the cause before anyone digs. Consider one if:
- You have recurring clogs or backups in the same line
- Multiple drains are slow at the same time
- You're buying or selling a home with older plumbing
- There are sewage odors or soggy spots in the yard
- A previous repair didn't solve the problem
- You want to locate a pipe before remodeling or excavation
