A camera inspection in plumbing is a method used to inspect the interior of pipes and drains using a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable. The camera sends real-time video footage to a monitor, allowing plumbers to identify blockages, leaks, or other issues within the plumbing system without the need for invasive digging or demolition.

A camera inspection helps identify hidden issues such as clogs, corrosion, tree root intrusion, or broken pipes that may not be visible from the surface. It’s an effective, non-invasive way to assess the condition of your plumbing system and prevent future costly repairs by catching problems early.

The duration of a camera inspection varies based on the size and complexity of the plumbing system being inspected. Typically, a camera inspection takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the length of the pipes and the number of areas that need to be inspected.

A camera inspection can detect a wide range of plumbing issues, including:

Clogs or blockages

Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipes

Tree root intrusion

Leaks or water damage

Corrosion or rust in pipes

Improper pipe alignment

The camera provides real-time video footage to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the issue.

Yes, camera inspections are more accurate and efficient than traditional methods like snaking or guessing. They allow plumbers to visually confirm the problem, eliminating the need for trial and error. This saves time, money, and minimizes disruption to your property.
