Drain & Sewer Camera Inspection Services

Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process

1. Initial Consultation: We start by listening to your concerns, whether it's a recurring clog, slow drains, foul odors, or a pre-purchase inspection. This helps us determine the best approach before we begin.
2. Camera Inspection: Our technicians insert a high-definition, waterproof video camera equipped with powerful LED lights directly into your drain and sewer lines. This flexible camera navigates through pipes ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter, capturing real-time footage of your system's interior on a live monitor, so you can see exactly what we see.
3. Diagnosis and Findings: As the camera moves through your pipes, our technicians identify and mark the exact location of any issues, including tree root intrusion, grease buildup, cracks, corrosion, obstructions, and structural problems such as pipe separation.
4. Odor Detection (If Needed): If foul odors are a concern, we can perform a sewer smoke test alongside the camera inspection to accurately pinpoint the source of any leaks or damage.
5. Recommendations and Next Steps: Once the inspection is complete, we will walk you through exactly what we found and provide clear, straightforward recommendations, whether that's a cleaning, a targeted repair, or further evaluation.
6. Digital Recording Upon Request: Need a record of the inspection for real estate, insurance, or your own peace of mind? We offer digital recordings of the footage upon request.

Sewer Smoke Testing with Video Inspections

If you're experiencing persistent sewer odors inside your home, recurring drain flies or sewer flies, or you suspect a hidden leak in your sewer system, a standard camera inspection alone may not be enough to find the source. 

That's where sewer smoke testing comes in. Zoom Drain combines sewer smoke testing with video inspection to quickly and accurately pinpoint problems that are otherwise impossible to see. 

Here's how it works:

• Non-Toxic Smoke Testing: Harmless artificial smoke is introduced into your sewer system. Wherever the smoke exits, whether through a crack, a faulty joint, or a damaged pipe, that's exactly where the problem is, even in hard-to-reach areas behind walls or underground.
• Live Video Verification: A sewer camera inspection is used alongside the smoke test to visually confirm findings from inside the pipes, giving us a complete and accurate picture of the problem.
• Clear Recommendations: Once we've identified the issue, we walk you through exactly what we found and what needs to be done to correct it.

This combination is especially effective for homeowners who have had recurring odor or pest issues that other methods haven't resolved.
