Camera inspection lets us see exactly what's happening inside your pipes without tearing up your yard or walls. When you've got a recurring leak, a slow drain that won't clear, or a sewer line that's backing up, guessing where the problem is costs you money and time. We run a waterproof camera through your line and show you what we find on a screen. You'll see tree roots blocking the line, cracks in cast iron, mineral buildup, or debris caught somewhere nobody could spot from above.
Prunedale's older homes often run on original clay or cast iron lines buried under mature landscaping. When those pipes shift or corrode, the damage stays hidden until water starts pooling in the yard or the toilet backs up. Our plumber can pinpoint exactly where the break is, what caused it, and whether you need a simple patch or a full line replacement. We also use the camera after clearing a stubborn clog to make sure nothing's left behind.
The camera tells us the story your pipes are trying to tell. Once we know what we're dealing with, we'll walk you through your options and what the fix will look like. No surprises, no guessing, and no digging where it's not needed.

Common questions
Will you have to dig up my yard to find the leak?
No. The camera goes through your existing pipes and shows us exactly where the leak or clog is, so we only dig where we need to. We can see the damage location, size, and type before we touch your yard. Sometimes that means a small access point instead of a whole trench.
How long does a camera inspection take?
Usually 30 to 45 minutes depending on how long your line is and what we find. We'll give you a clear timeline when we arrive and explain what we're looking for. You'll be able to see the video as we go.
What if the camera finds tree roots in my sewer line?
We can clear roots with a rooter service right away, then run the camera again after to make sure the line is open. Sometimes roots grow back, so knowing they're there lets you plan for maintenance instead of an emergency backup.
Can camera inspection find slab leaks?
The camera won't see through concrete, but if we suspect a leak under your slab, the camera helps us rule out problems in the main line first. Once we've checked the accessible pipes, we can recommend the next step, which might be a more specialized leak detection method.
