A camera removes guesswork. Instead of wondering why a line keeps clogging, you can watch the screen as the camera travels through the pipe and see exactly what it meets.
What we record
- We note the distance at each defect, the material of the pipe, whether joints are offset or open, and whether water is sitting in a low section.
- Root intrusions, cracks, crushed sections and old repairs all look different on screen.
Clues it is this job
- Recurring backups in the same drain
- Roots found when cleaning
- Wet patch or sinkhole above the sewer line
- Planning to buy an older home
Locating from above
- The camera head carries a small transmitter.
- Using a locator on the surface we can find the head and estimate its depth, then spray a small dot on the turf or pavement overhead.
- That lets a repair be planned with the smallest possible excavation.
Buying an older house
- Before buying an older Toronto house it is worth a camera inspection of the main sewer.
- A lateral that needs replacing can be a significant expense and is not visible in a regular home inspection.
A camera needs a clear path. If the line is full of water, we may clear it first.
