Camera Inspections

What Are the Benefits of Drain Camera Inspections?

Having a drain camera inspection performed on your plumbing system can provide numerous benefits.

Some of these include:

• Getting accurate information before paying for repairs
• Finding small issues before they become big ones
• Avoiding digging or unnecessary disruption

• Documenting pipe condition for home sales or insurance
• Planning renovations with confidence
• Saving money by targeting the exact problem

It’s one of the smartest things you can do when you’re unsure what’s happening behind your walls or under your lawn.

What Do Plumbing Inspections Involve?

Our plumbing inspections involve checking your pipes, fixtures, and appliances for leaks, corrosion, and other potential problems. We aim to catch relatively small issues, like minor clogs or low water pressure, before they turn into emergencies like burst pipes or sewage backups.

Here’s what our inspections examine:

• Fixtures: We inspect all your sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers for leaks, corrosion, loose connections, and proper water flow and drainage.
• Pipes: We examine exposed pipes under your sinks and around your water heater, looking for signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion.

• Appliances: We check appliances like dishwashers and washing machines for proper connection to water lines and drainage.
• Camera inspections: For a more detailed look, we insert a small camera into your drain lines to detect what typically turns out to be hidden blockages.

Does a Drain Inspection Include Cleaning Too?

A camera inspection and drain cleaning are two different services, but we often combine them for your convenience. First, we use a specialized camera to take a close look inside your pipes and figure out what’s causing any issues. If we find something like grease buildup, scale, or tree roots that need to be cleared, we can usually handle the cleaning during the same visit with our professional equipment. This way, you save time and get your plumbing back to working properly as quickly as possible.
