Camera Inspections

See What’s Happening Inside Your Pipes

When your drains keep backing up or you’re experiencing recurring plumbing issues, sometimes the best way to understand the problem is to look inside the line.
Deep Dive Plumbing + Drain provides camera inspections to help visually assess the condition of your drain or sewer lines and identify issues that require repair.
We answer phones around the clock and schedule 2-hour appointment windows for quick, reliable service Monday through Friday — often the same day.

What a Camera Inspection Can Show

A camera inspection gives valuable visual insight into your drain or sewer system. When accessible, it can help identify:

  • Blockages and obstructions
  • Tree root intrusion in older sewer lines
  • Broken or cracked pipe sections
  • Sagging or misaligned pipes
  • Buildup that is restricting flow
  • Foreign objects lodged in the line
  • General condition of aging plumbing

This diagnostic step often helps determine the best next course of action.

When You Might Need a Camera Inspection

You may benefit from a camera inspection if you're experiencing:

  • Frequent clogs or slow drains
  • Gurgling noises in toilets or sinks
  • Water backing up into tubs or floor drains
  • Sewer odors inside or outside the home
  • Ongoing issues despite repeated clearing
  • Suspected root intrusion
  • Concerns about pipe condition in older homes

A camera inspection can confirm or rule out issues that can't be seen from the surface.

What a Camera Inspection Does Not Do

To maintain transparency and set correct expectations:

  • Camera inspections do not provide leak detection services.
  • They cannot see through pipe walls or identify hidden leaks behind finishes.
  • They won't show issues in lines that are not accessible or cannot be safely opened.
  • They are not a substitute for specialized leak detection if you suspect a concealed water leak.

We don't provide leak detection as a standalone specialty service, but our technicians can locate many common leaks during a service visit and repair or replace the affected lines the same day in most cases.

Expert Drain Cleaning (Without Jetting)

Sometimes a camera inspection is recommended after a drain clearing attempt, if the technician suspects underlying structural issues.

We do not offer hydro-jetting or high-pressure jetting.

Instead, we provide:

  • Mechanical drain cleaning
  • Rooter-style clearing
  • Clog removal techniques designed for safety and effectiveness

If the camera reveals deeper issues such as broken pipe sections or severe root intrusion, we'll explain your repair options clearly.

Limitations to Be Aware Of

Camera inspections cannot be performed in certain scenarios, such as:

  • Pipes with no accessible cleanout
  • Collapsed lines that prevent camera passage
  • Extremely tight or winding drain configurations
  • Lines that are completely blocked and cannot be partially cleared

If this occurs, we'll explain alternative options.
