Video cameras are one of the most valuable tools in the plumbing business. Specially designed waterproof plumbing cameras allow plumbing technicians to conduct a visual inspection of sewer lines and other underground pipes, including pipes under cement, concrete slabs and under your home’s foundation. This also includes smaller pipes line your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and tub drains.
To begin your drain 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 in drain lines from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter.
The video footage is transmitted to the technician in real-time, so the condition inside 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. Plumbing cameras are just one part of our sewer line inspection process.

Video Pipe Inspections
One of our trained technicians maneuvers a specialized, miniature video camera through the drain or sewer pipe. As the camera travels through the pipes, the video footage is displayed on a monitor. This provides a first-hand look at the condition of the drainage system from inside of the pipe. The inspection is then recorded in digital format. Our special video cameras can look inside pipes that are anywhere between 2 and 36 inches in diameter. We can pinpoint problem areas and recommend the most cost-effective solution for you. Our high-resolution cameras record grease buildup, tree root damage, leaks, broken pipes, and obstructions.
A video sewer inspection can cost averages around $350-$500, depending upon the length of the pipes being inspected, local rates, if the inspection is being done in tandem with other work or as a job that is separate, and whether the images are just sent live to a monitor or are recorded to allow for later viewing.
