Sewer Camera Inspection

See Inside Your Line Without Digging

Some problems are impossible to diagnose from the surface. A sewer camera inspection sends a waterproof camera through your drain and sewer line, streaming live video to a screen so we can see the exact condition inside the pipe.

Around Kawartha Lakes, where many homes and cottages run on aging clay or cast-iron lines surrounded by mature trees, that clear picture means no guesswork and no tearing up the yard to "have a look." We find the real cause first, then explain your options in plain language.

What the Camera Reveals

  • Blockages and stubborn clogs
  • Cracks, corrosion and pipe wear
  • Tree-root intrusion at the joints
  • Sagging or bellied sections
  • Misaligned or separated joints

When a Camera Inspection Is the Right Call

A quick scope answers the question every homeowner dreads: what's actually going on underground? These are the moments it pays for itself.

Recurring Backups & Slow Drains

If the same drain keeps clogging no matter how often it's cleared, the camera shows whether roots, a collapsed section, or deeper build-up is the real cause.

Before You Buy or Sell a Home

A sewer scope before closing shows the true condition of the underground line, so a cracked or root-filled pipe doesn't become an expensive surprise after you move in.

Pinpointing a Fault

When there's a blockage or break, the camera's locator marks the spot and depth along the line, so any repair is targeted instead of digging blind.

Signs It's Time to Scope Your Line

Most drain and sewer problems give clear hints before they fail outright. If any of these sound familiar in Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Omemee, or anywhere in the Kawartha Lakes area, a camera inspection is the fastest way to know what's really going on.

Clogs That Keep Coming Back

A drain that's cleared and blocks again within weeks usually points to something structural, not a surface clog.

Gurgling & Sewer Odours

Gurgling toilets, bubbling drains, or a sewer smell in the yard can signal a partial blockage or a break in the line.

Multiple Slow Drains at Once

When several fixtures slow down together, the trouble is usually in the shared line rather than one drain.

Wet Spots or Sunken Ground

Soggy patches, extra-green grass, or dips in the lawn can mean a cracked line is leaking and washing soil away.

Water Backing Up After Rain

Backups that flare up during heavy rain often mean groundwater is entering a cracked or root-filled line.

An Older Home or Unknown Line

If you've never seen inside the pipe and the house has aging clay or cast-iron, a baseline scope is worth having.

Camera Inspection FAQ

Questions About Sewer Camera Inspections

Answers for homeowners searching for a sewer camera inspection near me, a pre-purchase sewer scope, drain diagnostics, and fault locating in Kawartha Lakes.

How does a sewer camera inspection work?

We feed a flexible, waterproof camera through a drain access point and down the line while it streams live video to a screen. That lets us see inside the pipe in real time and spot cracks, roots, blockages, and worn sections without any digging.

When should I get my line inspected?

It's worth scoping the line for recurring backups, multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewer odours, or wet spots in the yard. It's also a smart step before buying a home, so an underground problem doesn't become yours after closing.

Should I get a sewer scope before buying a home?

Yes. A standard home inspection rarely covers the underground sewer line, yet replacing one is among the most expensive repairs a buyer can face. A quick scope shows its condition before you commit, which matters most on older and rural properties here.

Do I get a copy of the findings?

Yes. You receive a clear summary of what we found and where along the line, so you have documentation to guide a repair decision or to use in a real estate transaction.

Can the camera find exactly where the problem is?

In most cases, yes. The camera carries a locator that lets us mark the position and approximate depth of a blockage or break from the surface, so any excavation is aimed at the right spot instead of guesswork.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?

The cost depends on the length of the line, access to a suitable cleanout, and whether locating is needed. Because these vary by property, we give you a clear, upfront price before the inspection rather than a vague estimate.

Do you offer sewer camera inspections across Kawartha Lakes?

Yes. We inspect drains and sewer lines throughout Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Omemee, Cameron, Woodville, Dunsford, and nearby Kawartha Lakes communities.
