Service Description

A camera inspection is a diagnostic tool. The colour sewer camera navigates through the line and gives a clear video view of the inside of the pipe. Camera inspection helps locate visible issues inside the line, but it does not unclog the drain by itself.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

What a Camera Inspection Can Show

The camera lets us see the visible inside of the line and helps guide the next step: cleaning, descaling, repair planning or monitoring the condition of the pipe.

Buildup and blockages

Grease, wipes, paper, debris or buildup that reduces the open space inside the line.

Roots in the line

Roots entering through a joint, crack or small opening and catching debris inside the drain.

Cast iron, rust and tuberculation

Rough buildup inside older cast iron drains, often connected to recurring backups.

Pipe belly or low spot

A low section where water sits in the pipe and waste can collect over time.

Cracks, breaks or crushed pipe

Visible damage that can explain why a problem keeps coming back after unclogging.

Problem joints and connections

Offset joints, poor connections or transitions that catch waste or disturb the flow.
