Preventative care

The cheapest plumbing work is the problem you catch early

Pipes don’t fail overnight. Grease accumulates layer by layer, roots grow a little every season, and a hairline crack spreads for years before it collapses. All of it is invisible from outside the pipe — until the day it floods a parkade, closes a kitchen or backs up into a tenant’s unit.

A camera inspection makes the invisible visible. We feed a waterproof, self-levelling camera through your drains, stacks and sewer mains and record the whole run. Anything we find is pinpointed by location and depth, explained in plain language, and documented in a written report — the foundation of genuinely preventative pipe care.

Why inspect

The benefits of camera inspection

Every decision about your pipes gets easier when you can actually see them.

👁️See the real conditionNo more guessing what’s behind the wall or under the slab. A high-resolution, self-levelling camera records the entire run — grease, roots, scale, cracks, bellies, offsets and blockages, all on video.
Catch problems while they’re smallA root tip poking through a joint costs little to deal with today. The same root two years later is a blocked main, a flooded floor and an emergency call. Inspection is how you buy time.
📍Pinpoint location & depthThe camera head carries a locator beacon. When we find a defect we mark exactly where it is and how deep — so any repair is one small targeted dig, not an excavation hunt.
🧾Documented proof of conditionEvery inspection produces recorded footage and a plain-language written report — evidence you can hand to a strata council, board, owner, insurer or buyer.
💵Budget instead of reactKnowing a line has ten years left — or two — turns a surprise special assessment into a planned line item. Inspection reports are the foundation of capital planning for your plumbing.
🚿No unnecessary diggingWithout a camera, diagnosing a sewer problem often means digging on suspicion. With one, you excavate only when the video proves it’s needed — and only where it’s needed.
🔎Verify work you paid forAfter any jetting, repair or new installation, a camera pass confirms the job was actually done right. It keeps every contractor honest — including us.
🏠Due diligence before you buyA sewer line is one of the most expensive things attached to a building. A pre-purchase camera inspection tells you what you’re really buying before you sign.

Preventative checklist

When to book a camera inspection

Some inspections are scheduled, some are triggered — these are the moments a camera run pays for itself.

🗓️Once a year, on scheduleThe core of preventative care: an annual recorded inspection catches grease, roots and scale before they cause a failure. That’s exactly what the Annual Inspection Program delivers.
🔁Recurring slow drains or backupsIf the same line keeps acting up, something in the pipe is causing it. One camera run finds the real reason instead of paying to clear the symptom again and again.
🤝Before buying a propertyMake the sewer scope part of due diligence — a hidden collapsed line can cost more than the inspection by a factor of a hundred.
🏗️Before renovations or new fixturesAdding suites, fixtures or a commercial kitchen? Confirm the existing drains can take the new load before the walls are closed.
After any cleaning or repairA post-work camera pass proves the line is genuinely clean or properly repaired — with footage to file.
🌊After a flood or sewer eventOnce the emergency is handled, an inspection documents the damage, supports the insurance claim and confirms the line is sound.

If the camera finds build-up, hydro jetting usually clears it the same visit — and a second camera pass proves the line is clean before we leave.

Watch it happen

Found on camera, fixed on camera

A real blocked sewer line: the camera finds the problem, hydro jetting clears it, and a second camera pass verifies the result. Every job we do is documented this way.

  • Camera locates the grease, roots or scale
  • Defect position and depth marked from above ground
  • Targeted jetting or repair — no guesswork
  • You get the footage and a plain-language report

Questions

Camera inspection FAQ

What is a sewer camera inspection?

A waterproof, high-resolution, self-levelling camera is fed through your drains, stacks and sewer lines while recording video of the entire run. It shows the true interior condition of the pipe — grease, roots, scale, cracks, sags, offsets and blockages — and a locator beacon pinpoints the exact position and depth of anything we find.

Why is camera inspection considered preventative care?

Because pipe failures don’t happen overnight — grease accumulates, roots grow, and cracks spread over months and years. A scheduled camera inspection catches those problems while they’re still small and cheap to fix, instead of discovering them as a flooded parkade or a closed kitchen.

How often should pipes be camera inspected?

Once a year is the sweet spot for most commercial, institutional and multi-unit residential buildings — often enough to catch problems early without over-servicing. High-volume kitchens and lines with known root or grease history may warrant every six months.

What do I get after the inspection?

Recorded video of the full run plus a plain-language written report: what we found, where it is, how serious it is, and what — if anything — should be done about it. It’s documentation you can hand to a strata council, board, owner, insurer or buyer.

Can a camera inspection find a problem without digging?

Yes — that’s the point. The camera travels through existing cleanouts and access points, and the locator marks the exact spot and depth of any defect from above ground. If a repair is ever needed, it’s one small targeted dig instead of exploratory excavation.

Should I get a camera inspection before buying a building?

Absolutely. The sewer lateral and drain system are among the most expensive components of any property, and their condition is invisible without a camera. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost that can reveal — or rule out — five-figure problems before you commit.

What happens if the camera finds a problem?

You see it on the footage with us, located and explained in plain language. Most build-up problems are cleared the same visit with hydro jetting, and we re-run the camera to prove the fix. Structural issues get a documented, targeted repair recommendation — no guesswork, no pressure.
