Sewerline Video Inspection

What is a Drain Line Camera Inspection?

A video sewer inspection is a non-invasive method of surveying your underground sewer lines and interior plumbing. We use a flexible, waterproof camera attached to a high-grade fiber optic cable. As the camera travels through your pipes, it transmits a live video feed to a high-resolution monitor operated by our licensed technicians.

What We Can Figure out with Video Camera Inspection.

• Tree Root Intrusion: The #1 cause of sewer backups in older Toronto neighborhoods.
• Pipe Cracks and Collapses: Identifying structural integrity issues before they become emergencies.
• Severe Blockages: Pinpointing grease buildup, “flushable” wipes, or foreign objects.
• Bellied Pipes: Detecting sagging sections where debris and water settle.
• Misaligned Joints: Finding gaps where waste can leak into the surrounding soil.
• Corrosion: Assessing the lifespan of older cast iron or clay pipes.

How do we inspect your drain with a sewer camera?

We make it easy to get a clear picture of your plumbing health:

1. Access: We locate a “cleanout” or access point in your home or basement to insert the camera.
2. Insertion & Survey: Our technician feeds the high-definition camera through the line, navigating bends and turns to inspect the entire length of the pipe.
3. Real-Time Diagnosis: You can watch the monitor with us as we identify the specific issue. We use a signal transmitter to mark the exact location and depth of the problem above ground.
4. Expert Recommendation: Once the inspection is complete, we provide a digital copy of the footage and a transparent, flat-rate quote for the necessary repairs.

Benefits of Drain/Sewer video inspection

• Locate the exact blockage point
  With the video camera inspection, we can locate the exact clogged point and decide the best way to clear it or break it up. Depending on the blockage, we can provide suggestions and ideas to our customers on preventing future issues.
• Helps to determine the slope that is affecting the smooth flow of water
  Using video equipment to look inside the drain pipe, we can more accurately identify if the pipes have the correct slope to flow wastewater properly.
• Cost-effective
  The only way to find plumbing problems is to use a video camera for inspection. Without it, the plumbers have to break up walls or dig underground, which is disruptive and expensive. So, video inspection is a cost-effective method for diagnosing problems within a drain.
