How Our Sewer Camera Technology Locates Drain Issues

Not all drain problems are visible — and that’s exactly where our sewer camera technology comes in. We insert a high-definition camera in sewer lines to travel through the pipe system, capturing detailed video footage along the way. This allows our licensed plumbers to visually identify:

  • Blockages or build-up
  • Cracks or pipe fractures
  • Tree root intrusions
  • Pipe misalignment or collapse

Our waterproof cameras are designed for tough conditions and can access pipes under concrete slabs, foundations, or landscaped areas — without any digging required.

Once the camera sewer inspection is complete, we’ll walk you through the findings and provide a clear action plan. Whether you need pipe relining services, hydro jetting, or a simple clean-out, you’ll know exactly what’s needed and why.

 How CCTV Sewer Cameras Work

Sewer cameras are flexible, waterproof devices attached to a cable, designed to travel deep into your drainage system. As the camera moves through the pipes, it sends real-time video to our technicians, showing the exact location and nature of the problem.

  • High-resolution lenses capture clear images in dark, confined spaces.
  • LED lighting illuminates debris, cracks, or root growth.
  • Location sensors provide depth and position data for accurate repairs.

This non-invasive method means your property stays intact while we find the quickest, most cost-effective solution to your drainage issues.

Why a Drain Inspection Camera Is Essential for Plumbing Diagnostics

Drainage issues often hide below the surface — literally. An inspection drain camera lets us diagnose the exact cause without dismantling your plumbing or tearing up your property.

This technology is especially useful when basic methods like plunging or rodding aren’t effective. Before we recommend solutions, we verify the problem using a sewer camera.

This visual inspection not only saves time and cost, but also ensures you’re not overpaying for guesswork. If you’re wondering which techniques to try first, we also recommend reviewing the best drain cleaning methods we’ve outlined on our blog.

Our CCTV Drain Inspection Process

Every property and plumbing system is different, so our inspections follow a method that’s thorough yet flexible. It starts with a quick chat to understand the problem and check for any urgent risks, like flooding or sewer backups. Once we arrive, we feed the drain camera into the affected pipe, guiding it through bends and junctions to get a complete view.

During the pipe camera inspection, our plumber notes down the location, depth, and type of issue. You’ll then receive a clear explanation of what’s been found, plus honest advice on your repair options. We can often start the fix straight away, saving you from repeat visits or extended downtime.
