Camera inspection — Plomberie JG

Drain camera inspection in Greater Montréal: see what is blocking

A problem keeps coming back with no visible cause? In Greater Montréal, we inspect inside the drains to spot anomalies and guide the work to consider, with images to back it up.

Request an inspection

Understand why the same problem keeps coming back

Having the same drain unclogged several times without understanding why is discouraging. With unusual noises and unexplained backups, it is hard to know whether the line hides a persistent defect.

Suffering several successive blockages without knowing the real cause.

Hearing persistent gurgling despite a recent unclogging.

Considering a property purchase without knowing the condition of the buried lines.

Camera inspection: seeing inside the line without digging

Thanks to the images, we look for visible defects and document the accessible lines to help you decide on the work.

What a camera inspection reveals: defects, route and images

  1. Defects to spot

    Visible cracks, infiltrated roots, sagging or obstructions: the camera lets us examine what is happening inside the line and target the problem area.

  2. Route without excavation

    The examination is done through an existing access point, without digging to see inside the pipe. The route depends on access, bends and obstacles encountered.

  3. Video report on request

    To keep the footage, a video report can be prepared on request, for a fee. It can complete a property file or the documents sent to an insurer.

Camera inspection: price, when to request it and how it works

How much does a camera inspection cost?

The price depends on the length to travel, access points and any prior cleaning. We provide a free quote before the inspection.

When should you request a camera inspection?

When the same drain keeps clogging, an odor persists, before buying a property or to document a line’s condition before work.

How does the inspection work?

The camera enters through an existing access point and travels through the line. We review the images with you. A video report is available on request, for a fee.

A view from the field

Our hands-on plumbing practice lets our team place the images in the context of the building. The goal: help choose the work based on observations, rather than piling up repairs at random.

Questions about this service

Before buying a property, what is the value of this inspection?

Before a purchase, we can examine the accessible lines to look for visible defects. This inspection complements the information available on the property. It does not replace the general building inspection and does not describe sections that cannot be traveled.

What happens if an obstruction blocks the way?

When a clog blocks the way, we may recommend unclogging or cleaning before continuing. The camera must be able to advance and give enough visibility. The operations needed are explained to distinguish preparation from examining the line.

Can this inspection rule out any leak?

During the inspection, we observe the inside of the accessible section. Some cracks may show up on camera, but this observation is not a watertightness test of the entire installation. Depending on the signs found, we explain whether further investigation is needed before repair.
