What is a Drain Camera Inspection?
A drain camera inspection uses a small waterproof video camera to look directly inside your pipes. This live feed helps our experienced technicians see clogs, cracks, tree root intrusions, and other issues without tearing up walls or floors.
It’s a non-invasive way to find the real problem, save time, and avoid unnecessary repairs!
Signs You Need a Camera Inspection
Sometimes the symptoms of a major residential plumbing issue show up in small ways first. These signs are strong indicators that a drain camera inspection could save you time and prevent costly repairs.
Slow or Repeatedly Clogged Drains
When you have to deal with a clogged drain now and then, it might just be a buildup of something near the surface. But if clogs return soon after clearing, or if sinks and tubs drain much slower than they used to, it could point to a deeper obstruction.
A camera inspection lets us see exactly what’s slowing the line, whether it’s grease, scale, or even tree roots, and our team can recommend the right fix.
Water Backups or Gurgling Noises
Backups in sinks, tubs, or floor drains suggest a blockage in the main line. You might also hear gurgling sounds when other fixtures are in use, caused by trapped air behind a clog. Both are signs of a hidden problem that won’t go away on its own.
Using a drain camera is a great solution for clogged drains, and can confirm the cause and prevent more serious flooding or damage.
When and Why to Get a Drain Camera Inspection
Drain camera inspections aren’t only for plumbing emergencies. They’re also smart for prevention and peace of mind.
Soil and Tree Root Issues
Tree roots are one of the biggest threats to underground plumbing. Roots naturally seek water and can push through tiny cracks in older clay or concrete pipes. Once inside, they spread and cause major blockages.
Aging Pipes and Common Blockages
The plumbing of many homes in Markham and nearby areas were built with materials like clay, cast iron, or galvanized steel, and can corrode, shift, or weaken with age.
A camera inspection identifies cracks, burst pipes, or sections where waste is catching and causing repeated clogs.
