Many homeowners feel uneasy when a plumber says the sewer line needs replacing. How do you know it is true? A camera inspection answers that question. It shows the inside of your drain or sewer lateral, joint by joint, so the decision is based on what is really there.

We offer drain and sewer camera inspections for homes and buildings across Toronto, Peel and Halton. Our team shares the footage, explains it in plain language and gives you a straight recommendation, even when that recommendation is to do nothing at all.

What a camera inspection shows

A waterproof camera on a flexible cable travels through the pipe while we watch on a monitor. It shows cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, sags where water sits, grease and scale buildup, and collapsed sections. We note how far along the line each issue is, so any repair can be targeted.

Before you buy, renovate or protect

A camera inspection is a smart step before buying an older home, before finishing a basement and before installing a backwater valve. It helps you budget for work that may be needed and avoid surprises later. If you already have a quote for a large sewer job, an independent inspection can confirm whether it is really necessary.

Footage you control

You get a copy of the recording. You can keep it for your records, share it with your insurer or ask another company for a second opinion. We believe good decisions start with clear information, and we would rather earn your trust than rush you.

Book an inspection

If your drains are giving you trouble or you simply want peace of mind, get in touch with our team. We will book a visit, inspect the line and explain exactly what we see.

Know the signs

When to book a camera inspection

  • You are buying an older home and want to know the sewer's condition
  • Drains back up more than once, even after cleaning
  • You have been quoted a large sewer job and want a second look
  • Roots keep coming back after drain cleaning
  • You are planning a basement renovation or a backwater valve
  • You smell sewer gas and cannot find the source

Our approach

What our inspection includes

Full-length inspection

We run the camera from the cleanout or a drain opening along the line, noting the distance to each joint, crack or root intrusion.

Footage you can keep

You get the recording and a plain-language summary, so you can see the problem for yourself or share it for a second opinion.

Location and depth

Where it helps, we locate the camera head from the surface to mark where a problem sits, which keeps any repair small.

Straight recommendations

If the line is in good shape, we tell you. If it needs work, we explain the options from cleaning to repair to replacement.

Our process

How we work

Every job follows the same six steps, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. Camera first

    We look inside the pipe or trace the line before anyone talks price, so the quote is based on what is really there.

  2. Written quote

    You get an itemized estimate in writing, with the rebates that apply and your cost after them.

  3. Permits booked

    We pull the plumbing or building permit and book the inspections with your municipality.

  4. Low-dig work

    Where the ground allows, we use trenchless methods to replace pipe through small access pits.

  5. Restoration

    We backfill, compact and tidy the site. Any concrete, sod or finish restoration is listed line by line in your quote.

  6. Rebate filing

    We prepare the invoices, photos and permit proof your rebate application needs.

FAQ

Drain Camera Inspection questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, give us a call.

Is a sewer camera inspection worth it before buying a home?

For older homes, it is one of the most useful checks you can make. A standard home inspection does not look inside the sewer, and a failing line can be expensive to replace.

Will I get a copy of the footage?

Yes. We give you the recording and a written summary of what we found, including the distance to any problems.

What if the camera finds a problem on the City side?

We note where the problem is and give you the footage so you can report it to your municipality. The City side is the municipality's responsibility.

Does a camera inspection qualify for any rebate?

Toronto's flooding subsidy includes a home plumbing assessment at 80% up to $500. In Halton, assessment and CCTV costs can be claimed as part of eligible subsidy work, within that work's existing limits. We note what applies in your estimate.
