Camera Inspection

Why Choose a Camera Inspection?

Traditional plumbing methods rely on trial and error, but with a camera inspection, we can pinpoint issues with speed and accuracy. This technology is beneficial for:

• Slow or clogged drains – Find out what’s really causing the blockage.
• Sewer line backups – Detect root intrusion, grease buildup, or collapsed pipes.
• Recurring plumbing problems – Stop guessing and get a clear diagnosis.
• Home buyers and sellers – Avoid costly surprises with a pre-purchase inspection.
• Remodeling projects – Ensure your pipes can handle new plumbing fixtures.

A camera inspection helps you make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, and preventative maintenance.

How Does a Plumbing Camera Inspection Work?

Our process is simple but highly effective:

1. We insert a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod into your drain or sewer line.
2. The live video feed is transmitted to a monitor, allowing our technicians to assess the condition of your pipes.
3. We identify any problems, such as blockages, cracks, misaligned pipes, or invasive tree roots.
4. You get a full breakdown of the findings, with recommendations for repairs or maintenance.

This non-invasive technique saves time, eliminates unnecessary digging, and provides clear evidence of any plumbing issues.

Common Problems Found with Camera Inspections

Over time, pipes can develop a variety of issues, many of which are invisible until they start causing trouble. Some of the most common problems we discover include:

• Tree Root Intrusion – Roots seeking moisture can break into pipes, causing blockages and structural damage.
• Pipe Corrosion – Older metal pipes can deteriorate, leading to leaks and reduced water pressure.
• Buildup of Debris – Grease, soap scum, and foreign objects can accumulate and restrict water flow.
• Cracked or Collapsed Pipes – Underground pipes can shift, crack, or collapse due to age, soil movement, or heavy traffic above.
• Sewer Line Damage – Misaligned or broken sewer lines can cause sewage backups and foul odors.

Identifying these problems early can help you avoid costly repairs and major plumbing emergencies.

Sewer Camera Inspections for Homeowners and Businesses

Both residential and commercial properties benefit from routine plumbing inspections. For homeowners, it’s an excellent way to catch issues before they turn into expensive repairs. For businesses—especially restaurants, hotels, and apartment buildings—regular inspections help prevent plumbing disasters that could disrupt operations.

If you're buying a home in Franklin Lakes or Mountain Lakes, a sewer camera inspection is one of the best investments you can make. A home’s plumbing system is a major expense, and hidden sewer problems can lead to thousands in unexpected repairs.

Pairing Camera Inspections with Hydrojetting

If a blockage is discovered during the inspection, hydrojetting is often the next step. This high-pressure water cleaning method clears out debris, grease, and roots, restoring full pipe capacity. By combining a camera inspection with hydrojetting, you get a complete solution—diagnosis and repair in one visit.
