Toronto’s infrastructure is unique. From the century-old clay pipes in Old Toronto to the cast iron in Etobicoke, sewer lines here face extreme seasonal shifts and aggressive tree root growth.
At Everest Plumbing, we don’t just “snake and hope.” Our sewer line camera inspection service provides a real-time, high-definition look at your underground plumbing. This allows us to find cracks, bellies, and collapses before they turn into a basement flood.

Sewer video inspection lets us see inside a pipe without digging. We guide a flexible camera through the line to spot cracks, roots, buildup, and sags before they cause damage.
We believe in honest, upfront pricing for all Toronto residents. The cost of a drain camera inspection is an investment in your home’s health.
We want every Toronto homeowner to stay on the safe side. That’s why we provide a discount on drain camera inspections when you add them to a standard drain snaking or unclogging service, only an additional $180.00 flat rate.
Don’t just clear your drain—understand it.
A sewer video inspection allows you to see exactly what is happening inside your pipes—areas that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Especially in older Toronto neighborhoods, understanding the internal condition of your plumbing is the only way to ensure long-term reliability.
We inspect the main lateral line from your Toronto property to the city connection, identifying major issues like collapses, significant root intrusion, or bellied pipes.
From kitchen sinks to shower drains, we can inspect smaller interior lines within your Toronto home or business to find localized blockages or pipe damage.
Protect your investment. Our detailed camera inspections give prospective Toronto homebuyers a clear picture of the sewer system’s condition before they commit.
Ensure your new plumbing or renovated lines in Toronto are free from debris and properly installed.
For all our Toronto clients, we provide a clear explanation of findings, and upon request, a digital recording of the inspection and a written report for your records.
When you have a backup, drain snaking is the traditional first response. It is highly effective at physically breaking through a clog and restoring flow. However, snaking alone leaves critical questions unanswered:
Is the pipe truly clear, or did the snake just poke a small hole through the debris?
Why did this happen in the first place? Was it kitchen grease, a dishwasher backup, or a structural failure?
Will this happen again next week?
Without a camera, even the most experienced plumber is forced to rely on educated guesses.
This is where a sewer video inspection becomes your most valuable tool. Instead of guessing, we provide clear, high-definition visual proof. You can view the footage directly on your phone or computer, providing you with:
At Everest Plumbing, we view a drain snake with a camera as the ultimate diagnostic pair. We find the “Why” before we sell you the “How.” Root Intrusion? We’ll show you exactly where they entered.
Pipe Belly? We’ll measure the standing water.
Separated Joint? We’ll pinpoint the exact spot in your yard.

Highly recommended, especially for older Toronto properties, to avoid inheriting expensive sewer problems. Its always a best idea to have your home plumbing inspected prior to purchasing.
Most visits run 45 to 90 minutes. Time depends on access, pipe length, and the number of bends. A tough blockage or a lack of cleanout can add time. We set up fast, guide the camera, and record findings. You get a simple report with the next steps. Our licensed and insured team handles homes and small buildings across Toronto, ON, with careful, steady work.
A cleanout makes access faster and cleaner. If there is no cleanout, we can often create one or use another entry point. We review your layout first and pick the best spot. This keeps the visit focused and reduces extra digging. We bring the right tools to open, inspect, and close safely. Our crew is licensed, insured, and trained to work in compliance with code.
Generally, the homeowner is responsible for the private-side of the sewer line (from the house to the property line). However, if you suspect the blockage is on the City-side, you can call 311. If the City finds the issue is on their side, they handle the repair. We provide the sewer video inspection footage you need to prove where the blockage is located, which is essential for any dispute or claim.
Yes. If our drain snake with camera identifies that roots from a City-owned tree have damaged your pipes, you may be eligible for a Tree Root Subsidy of up to $2,000. We provide the high-definition digital evidence required by the City to process these specific rebate applications.
Older neighborhoods like The Beaches, Leslieville, and North York often have “combined sewers” or aging clay pipes. Because Toronto sits on a clay-heavy soil belt, groundwater pressure (hydrostatic pressure) is high. A regular sewer video inspection is recommended every 2 years for homes older than 50 years to catch cracks caused by soil shifting and freezing.
For a simple camera inspection or drain snaking, no permit is required. However, if the camera reveals a collapse that requires a sewer line replacement, a City of Toronto building permit is mandatory. We handle the permit application process and ensure all work passes City inspection to keep your warranty and subsidies valid.
For residential properties, a camera sewer line inspection cost typically ranges from $180 to $380. For commercial inspections over 100ft, prices start at $580. At Everest Plumbing, we offer a discounted rate when combined with a drain snaking service.
