Drain and sewer problems are often hidden deep inside your plumbing system. A professional camera drain inspection allows John The Plumber to identify the source of the problem before recommending drain cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer line cleaning, or plumbing repairs.
The image above shows a real example of tree roots discovered inside a sewer line. Once the obstruction was located, the roots could be removed and the pipe inspected again to confirm the line was clear.
Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer lines through small cracks, loose joints, and damaged connections. As the roots continue to grow, they may restrict water flow or completely block the sewer line.

Get Help With a Clogged DrainA camera inspection can help locate blockages, root intrusion, collapsed sections, and other problems that may be causing wastewater to back up through drains, toilets, or floor drains.
Learn About Sewer BackupsOne slow sink may be caused by a local clog. However, when several sinks, showers, tubs, or toilets drain slowly at the same time, the problem may be inside the main drain or sewer line. A camera inspection can reveal where the restriction is located and what is causing it.
Explore Drain Cleaning ServicesAging pipes, shifting soil, corrosion, and ground movement can cause drain lines to crack, separate, sag, or collapse. A camera drain inspection helps pinpoint the damaged section so repairs can be planned without unnecessary digging or demolition.
Learn About Plumbing RepairsOnce we know what is happening inside the pipe, we can recommend the right solution. Depending on what the inspection reveals, that may include professional drain cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer line cleaning, root removal, or targeted plumbing repairs.

A camera inspection gives our licensed plumbers a real-time view inside your drain or sewer line. Once the cause and location of the problem are identified, we can recommend the most appropriate next step.
A camera drain inspection uses a small waterproof plumbing camera attached to a flexible cable. The camera is carefully fed through the drain or sewer line so the plumber can view the inside of the pipe in real time. This helps identify clogs, tree roots, grease buildup, cracked pipes, offset joints, collapsed sections, and other hidden problems.
You may benefit from a camera inspection if you have recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, unexplained sewer odours, frequent drain backups, gurgling fixtures, or a suspected sewer line problem. An inspection is especially useful when standard drain cleaning has not permanently solved the issue.
Yes. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common problems identified during a sewer camera inspection. Roots can enter through small cracks or loose pipe joints and continue growing until they restrict the sewer line. Once the roots are located, services such as sewer line cleaning or hydro jetting may be recommended.
No. The camera itself is used to inspect and diagnose the problem; it does not remove the blockage. After identifying what is causing the clog, the plumber may recommend professional drain cleaning, hydro jetting, root removal, or a targeted plumbing repair.
A drain camera can often reveal cracked, separated, offset, sagging, or collapsed pipe sections. It can also help determine the approximate location of the damage so any necessary plumbing repairs can be planned more accurately.
Yes. A camera inspection can show heavy grease, sludge, scale, soap residue, foreign objects, and other debris inside the pipe. This helps determine whether conventional drain cleaning is appropriate or whether a more thorough service such as hydro jetting may be required.
A camera inspection is often useful after a sewer backup, especially when the cause is not immediately clear or the problem has happened more than once. The inspection may reveal roots, a major blockage, pipe damage, or another issue affecting the main sewer line.
Camera equipment works best in drain and sewer lines that are large enough for the inspection head. Main drains, building drains, and sewer laterals are commonly inspected. Very small fixture lines or sharply angled pipes may not always be accessible with the same equipment.
The time required depends on the length and condition of the pipe, the available access point, and whether a blockage prevents the camera from travelling through the line. Many inspections can be completed during a standard plumbing appointment, although complicated sewer problems may take longer to diagnose.
