Sewer Camera Inspection Oshawa, ON
Getting the right diagnosis for your sewer issue can be expensive if you do not know what is happening inside your drain. With a camera inspection, you can easily see what the issue is.
We use a waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable to insert into your drain. As we run the camera through your drain, you can watch live footage on the screen. This helps us to identify any issues and tells us how far along the pipe the issue is. This ensures that any repairs we carry out can be targeted at the correct area without having to dig up your entire garden.
When Should I Have A Camera Inspection?
If you are having ongoing issues with your drains, then a camera inspection is a great idea. If you have had more than one unblock or multiple fixtures backing up, then there is usually an issue in your main line.
Having a camera inspection is also a great idea when purchasing a new home. Many of the older areas in Oshawa have original clay or cast iron sewer laterals. This means that a standard home inspection will not show you what is going on inside your sewer line. Having a damaged sewer lateral can be expensive to repair, so it is good to know beforehand.
If you are looking to renovate your basement, add a new bathroom or doing any landscaping and plant trees over your sewer line, then it is a good idea to get a camera inspection done. It is much easier to repair your pipe before laying new flooring or building a new patio.
A camera inspection is also the best way to ensure your line is safe to hydro jet before and after.

FAQs
How long does the Sewer Camera Inspection take?
Most inspections take around 1 hour. This includes reviewing the footage with you and explaining your options.
Do I need a Cleanout?
Whilst having a cleanout will make it easier to get into your drain we do not require one. Most of the time we can get into your drain via your floor drain or temporarily removing your toilet.
Should I get a Sewer Camera Inspection when buying a house?
Yes especially if it is an older house. A standard house inspection will not show you what is happening inside your sewer line. Issues such as roots, breaks or a collapsed lateral can be expensive to repair.
Will a Sewer Camera Inspection fix my drain?
The camera inspection will show us what the issue is. If it is a simple blockage we can usually unblock it during the same visit. If there are damaged pipes we will explain what your options are to repair them and give you a price.
Can I have a copy of the video?
Yes. Just let us know when booking, and we can give you a copy of the video. This can be useful for keeping a record, your insurance company or real estate agent.
