Service · Calgary
A sewer camera inspection shows exactly what is happening inside your pipes — without digging. We record the line, locate problem areas and walk you through the footage so decisions are based on evidence rather than guesswork.
- Accurate diagnosis before any repair work
- Recorded footage for your records
- Helps avoid unnecessary excavation
Overview
A CCTV inspection sends a waterproof, self-levelling camera through your sewer or drain line to record the inside of the pipe. You see exactly what we see — roots, cracks, offsets, sags and build-up — along with the distance from the access point.
It's the most reliable way to diagnose recurring problems and to understand a line's condition before buying a home, renovating or committing to repairs.
No clear, no clearing charge
On eligible standard blockages.
Spot Problems Early
Problems build up gradually. Watch for these warning signs before a small issue becomes a backup.
Clogs keep coming back
Cleaning works for a while, then the line blocks again.
Buying an older home
Standard home inspections rarely look inside the sewer lateral.
Planning renovations
Know the line's condition before adding a bathroom or developing the basement.
Trees near the line
Mature trees often send roots into joints and cracks.
After a backup
Find out why it happened, not just that it's cleared.
Yard sinking or wet spots
Can point to a broken or leaking underground line.
Root Causes
Understanding the cause is how we stop a problem from coming back — not just clear it for today.
01Root intrusion
Fine roots enter joints, then grow into dense masses.
02Offset or separated joints
Ground movement shifts pipe sections out of alignment.
03Bellies & sags
Low spots collect water and debris that cause repeat clogs.
04Cracks & collapse
Ageing clay, cast-iron or Orangeburg pipe breaks down over time.

Root Intrusion Removal
Mechanical root cutting on a line in an established neighbourhood with mature trees.
Basement Floor Drain Backup
Clearing a floor drain backup and verifying the line with a camera afterward.
Yes. We can provide the recorded footage along with a summary of findings and the approximate location of any defects.
For older properties especially, a sewer scope shows the condition of the line before you take ownership — information a standard home inspection usually doesn't include.
No. The camera goes in through an existing cleanout or fixture, so there's no excavation needed to see inside the pipe.
