Video Camera Sewer Inspections
Stop guessing. Start seeing. We locate breaks, bellies, and roots precisely, so you don't pay for guesswork digging.
Diagnose Before You Dig
Before you agree to have an excavator tear up your beautiful front lawn, you need absolute proof of the problem. Plumbers who guess at the location of a blockage end up digging massive, expensive trenches in the wrong spot. Our high-definition, self-leveling fiber-optic cameras provide real-time visual evidence of the exact state of your underground pipes.
What Our Cameras Identify:
- Root Intrusions: Tree roots penetrating pipe joints.
- Collapsed Pipes: Sections crushed by soil weight.
- Misaligned Joints: Pipes that have shifted underground.
- Bellied Lines: Sunken pipe sections collecting waste.
- Corrosion & Scale: Hardened buildup in cast iron.
- Lost Items: Jewelry trapped in the plumbing.
Unbiased Digital Evidence
You shouldn't have to take a contractor's word for it when they tell you that you need a $10,000 pipe replacement. We believe in total transparency. Our cameras act as an impartial witness to the state of your plumbing.
The A1 Transparency Guarantee:
- Watch the high-definition monitor live alongside our technician.
- Get a complete recording of the journey to the city tap.
- Receive unbiased proof of the pipe's condition before repairs.
Pinpoint Sonar Locating
Finding the break on a screen is only half the battle; we also need to know exactly where that break is located under the ground. Digging blindly destroys landscaping and wastes your money.
Precision Locating Technology:
- 512Hz radio transmitters built into our camera heads.
- Above-ground receivers to track the camera's exact location.
- Exact depth and coordinate mapping for zero-guesswork digging.

When To Request A Camera
Pre-Buy Home Inspections
Never buy a home without scoping the sewer line first. Standard home inspectors do not put cameras underground, leaving you vulnerable to hidden disasters.
Post-Jetting Verification
After we hydro-jet a heavy grease or root blockage, we run the camera down the line to verify that the pipe walls are 100% clean and scoured.
Lost Item Retrieval
Dropped a wedding ring down the sink? We can use our micro-cameras to locate the jewelry inside the P-trap before it washes into the main line.
