Sewer & Drain Camera Inspection in Coquitlam & the Lower Mainland

We feed a waterproof camera on a flexible cable directly into the line and watch the feed in real time. That lets us see, rather than guess at:

• Tree root intrusion at pipe joints and cracks, and how far it's spread.
• Pipe material and condition, including cracks, corrosion, or bellied (sagging) sections in older clay or cast iron pipe.
• Blockages and buildup, and whether the problem is a single obstruction or grease and scale coating the pipe walls.
• Misaligned or separated joints, which can leak or let roots in even when the line still drains.
• The exact location of a problem, measured from the access point, so if digging is needed later, we know precisely where before anyone breaks ground.

Without a camera, all of this is a guess based on symptoms at the surface. With one, it's a confirmed diagnosis before we recommend any work.

A camera inspection makes sense in a few common situations:

• A drain keeps clogging in the same spot even after snaking or jetting.
• You're buying an older home and want to know the condition of the sewer line before closing.
• Multiple fixtures are draining slowly at once, which usually points to the main sewer line rather than one fixture.
• A sewer backup keeps happening, especially into a basement drain.
• You want to confirm a line is actually clear after a hydro jetting or repair, not just flowing again for now.

Dealing with any of these? Call (604) 873-3753 and we'll get a camera in the line to find out what's actually happening.

We access the line through an existing cleanout or fixture wherever possible, so nothing needs to be cut open just to inspect it. The camera feeds live video as it moves through the pipe, and we can pinpoint the exact distance to anything we find. If the inspection turns up a clog, root intrusion, or buildup, we'll walk you through what we saw and what the actual options are, whether that's snaking, hydro jetting, or a repair, before we do any of it.

Why a Non-Invasive Inspection Comes First

A non-invasive, thorough inspection means you're paying for the fix your line actually needs, not the first thing that seemed likely. Every job is handled by a licensed plumber and carries our work warranty, full customer satisfaction, and manufacturer warranty on any parts we install.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?

It depends on the length of the line and how it's accessed. We'll give you a clear price before we start, and if the inspection leads into further work, that gets quoted separately once we know what we're dealing with.

Do I need to dig up my yard for this?

No. The inspection itself uses an existing cleanout or fixture access point. Digging is only ever needed if the inspection finds a problem that requires physical repair, and even then we'll know the exact spot instead of guessing.

Can this be used when buying a house?

Yes, and it's one of the more common reasons people book one. A sewer line in poor condition can be an expensive surprise after closing, and an inspection beforehand tells you what you're actually buying into.

What happens if you find a problem?

We'll show you what the camera found and explain the actual condition of the line, then walk you through the realistic options, whether that's jetting, snaking, or a repair, before recommending anything.
