Drain & Sewer Camera Inspection Services

Get Right to the Source of Your Issues with Sewer Video Inspection

When it comes to pinpointing drain and sewer problems, accuracy is everything. 

At Zoom Drain, we use advanced sewer camera inspection technology; waterproof cameras equipped with powerful LED lights to give you a clear, real-time look at exactly what's happening inside your pipes.

Our experienced technicians can identify and pinpoint the location of:

  • Blockages and buildup
  • Cracks and leaks
  • Root intrusion
  • Structural pipe damage
  • Foreign objects

within your sewer and drain lines, all without any invasive digging. 

Whether you're dealing with recurring clogs, slow drains, unexplained odors, or are planning a home purchase, our sewer camera inspections remove the guesswork and give you the clarity you need to make informed decisions.

When to Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection

A drain and sewer camera inspection is one of the most valuable tools a homeowner can use.

Here are the most common situations where scheduling one makes sense:

  • Persistent or Recurring Clogs: If your drains keep backing up despite regular cleaning, there's likely a deeper issue inside your pipes that needs to be identified.
  • Slow Drains or Gurgling Sounds: These are early warning signs that a blockage or pipe problem is developing and shouldn't be ignored.
  • Foul Sewer Odors: Unpleasant smells coming from your drains or yard can indicate a serious blockage, a cracked pipe, or a sewer line issue.
  • Unexplained Moisture or Mold Growth: Water damage, damp walls, or mold appearing without an obvious cause can point to a hidden leak in your drain or sewer line.
  • Multiple Drains Backing Up: When more than one drain in your home is affected at the same time, it's usually a sign of a main sewer line problem rather than a simple isolated clog.
  • Before Buying or Selling a Home: Most standard home inspections don't include a sewer line evaluation; a sewer camera inspection gives you a clear picture of the pipe's condition before closing.
  • Routine Maintenance: Even without obvious symptoms, periodic sewer video inspections help catch small issues early, before they turn into expensive repairs.
  • Lost Items: A sewer camera can also be used to locate and recover jewelry or other valuable items that have accidentally gone down a drain.

Don't wait for a small issue to become a costly one; a sewer camera inspection gives you the answers you need to act with confidence.

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.
