Your main sewer line carries all your home's wastewater away, and when it fails, the effects show up everywhere — multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, foul odours, or wastewater backing up into the lowest fixtures. Rather than guessing and digging, we feed a high-definition, waterproof camera directly into the line to see the problem in real time, so the diagnosis is accurate and the repair is targeted.
A camera inspection reveals exactly what is wrong: tree root intrusion, grease and debris buildup, cracked or collapsed sections, offset joints, bellies (low spots that trap water), and pipe corrosion. In older North York neighbourhoods, invasive tree roots and aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines are especially common causes of repeat backups, and only a camera can confirm the precise location and severity.
Camera inspections are also invaluable before buying a home, after repeated clogs, or when planning a renovation. Knowing the true condition of a sewer line can save a homeowner from an expensive surprise, and it lets us recommend the right solution — from a targeted cleaning or spot repair to trenchless options where suitable — instead of over-selling a full replacement.
We often pair the inspection with precise underground locating, marking the exact depth and position of the problem so any required repair is efficient and minimally disruptive to your yard, driveway, or landscaping. This precision keeps costs down and avoids needless excavation.
You receive a clear explanation of what the camera found, along with upfront flat-rate pricing for any recommended work. Whether you are troubleshooting a stubborn recurring clog or protecting a major investment, a professional sewer camera inspection gives you certainty about what is happening beneath your North York home.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get a sewer camera inspection?
Consider one if you have recurring backups, multiple slow drains, sewer odours, or before buying a home. It confirms the exact cause and condition of your line so you avoid guesswork.
Can a camera inspection find tree roots?
Yes. The camera clearly shows root intrusion, along with its exact location and severity, so we can recommend the most effective clearing or repair method.
Do you have to dig to inspect the sewer?
No. The camera enters through an existing access point, so the inspection itself requires no digging. If a repair is needed, locating first keeps any excavation minimal.
Is a sewer inspection worth it before buying a home?
Very much so. A hidden sewer problem can be a major expense. An inspection gives you certainty about the pipe's condition before you commit to the purchase.
