Sewer Camera Inspection in Richmond & Metro Vancouver
Emergency Plumber in Richmond, BC
Pinpoint pipe cracks, offset joints, and tree root blockages with real-time HD video diagnostics.
Reliable Sewer Camera Inspection Solutions
Recurring drain backups and slow-draining fixtures often indicate underlying structural problems deep within your main sewer line. Rather than guessing or digging up your lawn, our Red Seal plumbers launch flexible high-definition cameras directly into your drain system. We trace the camera's precise location and depth from above ground to reveal crushed pipes, grease buildups, offset clay tiles, or root intrusions. You get clear answers and a fixed written estimate before any repair work starts.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
How far can your sewer camera travel down a main drain line?
Our industrial fiber-optic push cameras can extend up to 200 feet down your main line, reaching well past your property line to the municipal sewer connection.
Will a camera inspection tell me if my pipe is broken or just clogged?
Yes, the high-definition monitor clearly distinguishes between physical pipe collapses, bellies, offset joints, root penetrations, and simple grease or paper clogs.
Do I receive a copy of the video inspection recording?
Yes, we provide homeowners and strata managers with digital copies of the video footage along with a detailed report explaining our findings.
Can a camera clean out my clogged sewer line?
No, the camera is strictly a diagnostic tool. Once we locate the obstruction, we use hydro-jetting or augers to clear it, followed by a second camera pass to verify the work.
Do you need to dig up my yard to perform a video camera inspection?
No digging is required. We access your sewer system through existing cleanout ports located in your basement, crawlspace, or outside near your foundation.
How long does a typical sewer line camera inspection take?
Most residential sewer inspections take between 45 and 90 minutes to complete from setup to final report review.
