What’s the Best Time to Schedule Drain Camera Inspections?

One of the most effective ways to identify an underlying drain problem is to use a CCTV to inspect the entire drain system carefully. Whether it’s a bad connection, tree root intrusions, blockage, collapsed pipe, or debris accumulation in the drains, we can help identify it without unnecessary excavation. Contact us if you notice any of the following signs of drain or plumbing problems.

Repeated Drain Clogging

If drains clog repeatedly despite regular cleaning, there may be an underlying issue within the pipe. A CCTV drain inspection helps identify debris buildup, foreign objects in the pipes, tree root intrusion, cracks, or structural defects causing persistent blockages.

Gurgling Sounds from the Drains

Gurgling noises often indicate trapped air caused by partial blockages or improper drainage flow. A drain video inspection enables our licensed plumbers to identify restrictions that affect pressure and airflow within the water pipes and underground pipes.

Drain Backups

Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains signals a serious drainage issue. Professional drain line inspections help identify any obstructions, damaged sections, or slope issues that contribute to backflow risks.

Foul Odor from the Drains

Persistent sewer smells in your home may be caused by trapped debris, standing water, or cracks in the drain pipes. A detailed drain camera inspection can help pinpoint the cause of foul odor and help determine the appropriate plumbing repairs.

Water Pooling in the Basement

Unexplained water pooling near floor drains can indicate a compromised drain system. Our detailed CCTV inspections help identify hidden clogs or pipe damage that could cause flooding in the basement and eventual water damage.

Slow-Flowing Drains

When water drains slowly throughout the property, it often points to a buildup or partial obstruction. A thorough drain or sewer camera inspection can help identify the cause of slow drainage, the exact location, and the severity of any restriction.

Routine Drain Inspections

Routine CCTV drain inspections and sewer system checks help support preventative maintenance for your entire home’s plumbing system. These inspections can help identify early signs of wear, debris buildup, or minor defects before they develop into extensive drainage failures. Preventive drain maintenance can help avoid costly repairs.

You Plan to Purchase or Renovate a Home

Before buying a new home or renovating an existing one, a drain camera inspection provides insight into pipe condition. It helps uncover hidden issues that may affect renovation planning or future maintenance costs. Note that we can perform the drain and sewer system inspections as part of a detailed home inspection or as a scheduled service.

FAQs

How do I know if my drains need inspections?

You may need a drain inspection if you notice recurring drain clogs, slow drainage, foul odors from the drainpipes, gurgling sounds, or drain backups. These signs often indicate hidden issues that cannot be identified through surface-level drain cleaning.

How long do camera drain inspections take?

Most camera drain inspections take between one and a few hours. The exact time depends on pipe length, access points, and the complexity of the drainage system being inspected. Note that inspections rarely take as much time as actual repairs.

How often do I need a video camera inspection for my home’s drains?

For most homes, inspections are recommended every few years or when problems arise. Older properties, homes with trees nearby, or previous drainage issues may benefit from frequent inspections (like annual inspections).

Can a drain camera inspection detect problems outside my home?

Yes. Camera inspections can assess the condition of pipes extending toward the municipal connection. This helps identify issues such as root intrusion or pipe damage near property boundaries. Timely repairs can save you both time and money in the long run.
