Sewer Camera Inspection

Video cameras are one of the most valuable tools in the plumbing trade. Specially designed waterproof plumbing cameras allow plumbing technicians to conduct a visual inspection of sewer lines and other drain pipes, including pipes behind walls, encased in concrete slabs, and beneath your home’s foundation.

To begin your sewer camera inspection, a professionally trained and skilled technician inserts a rod with a high-resolution video camera on its tip into your sewer lines. These high-tech drain cameras are flexible, allowing them to travel through twists and turns in sewer lines and thoroughly examine pipes and pipe walls from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter.

The video footage is relayed to the technician’s video monitor in real-time, so the condition of your sewer and drain lines can be assessed immediately. You’ll be able to view any problems right on a monitor, and footage is saved for future reference.

Our Process

Our sewer camera inspection process involves inserting a High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) waterproof video camera with powerful LED lights into your sewer lines. This flexible camera navigates through pipes ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter, capturing real-time video footage of the interior condition. The live feed to a video monitor allows our technicians to conduct a real time inspection of the pipeline. He can identify and mark the location of root intrusion, cracks, corrosion, obstructions, and structural issues like pipe separation and offsets. The footage is saved and a copy provided for your records.
