What the camera finds
Root intrusion at clay joints. Offset joints where the ground has shifted.
- Cracked or collapsed sections.
- Low spots where water and sludge sit.
- Grease rings.
- A previous repair done with mismatched pipe.
- The camera head has a light and a transmitter, so we can find its position from above with a locator and mark it on the lawn or the floor.
Signs this is the job you need
- Repeated main line clogs
- Mature trees near the sewer lateral
- Buying a house built before the 1970s
- Planning a basement bathroom
- A sewage smell with no obvious source
Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
How the work goes
- We open a cleanout or remove a toilet to get access.
- We feed the camera and record the full run.
- We locate any defects from above and mark them.
- We review the video with you on the spot.
- We send you the video file and our notes.
When to ask for one
When you are about to buy an older place with big trees along the boulevard. When the main drain has backed up twice.
- Before finishing a basement, so you know the drain under the slab is sound.
- Before a big renovation that ties new fixtures into an old stack.
Asked on the phone line
Do you need to dig?
No. The camera goes in through an existing opening.
Can you see the city side?
We can usually see to the property line and often beyond, which helps when talking to the Region.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
