Professional Sewer Camera Inspection Victoria BC – See What’s Hiding in Your Pipes

This high-tech service enables us to inspect your pipes directly, identifying blockages, cracks, corrosion, and root intrusions so that we can address the correct issue the first time.
What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a flexible, waterproof video camera into your home’s sewer line or drain system. The camera transmits a live feed to our technicians above ground, allowing them to view the condition of your pipes in real-time.
We can locate:
- Tree root intrusions
- Pipe misalignment or collapse
- Grease, sludge, and debris buildup
- Cracks, corrosion, or holes
- Foreign objects or obstructions
- “Bellies” or sagging sections where water pools
When Do You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection?
- Slow or frequently clogged drains.
- Recurring toilet or shower backups
- Unexplained foul odours from drains
- Buying or selling a home
- Pre or post-repair inspections

- Before sewer line replacement projects
Whether you suspect damage or just want peace of mind, our sewer camera inspections help you make informed decisions.
