Licensed & Experienced Local Drain Experts
Underground sewer and main drain pipes in your home are hidden beneath concrete basement floors and outdoor soil. Because they’re out of sight, most homeowners don’t think about these pipes—until a serious problem arises. Often, the first visible sign of a drain issue is a sewage backup through a floor drain in the basement. While it may seem like the floor drain is the problem, it’s actually just the lowest point in your drainage system, where wastewater escapes when your main sewer line is blocked or damaged.
At Mister Plumber and Sewer Expert, we specialize in sewer camera inspections in Etobicoke, using the latest video technology to diagnose hidden problems in your drain system—quickly and accurately.
What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection and How Does It Work?
A sewer camera inspection is a non-invasive, advanced method to assess the condition of underground drain pipes.
Our inspection equipment includes:
- A flexible cable with a high-resolution camera at the end
- Built-in LED lights to illuminate the inside of the pipe
- A live-feed monitor that displays what the camera sees
- Optional video recording for future reference
- A locator tool that tracks the exact location and depth of the pipe
The camera is inserted into the sewer through a cleanout opening or other access point. As it travels through the drain, we get a clear view of pipe conditions, including blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and misalignments. The locator device also allows us to pinpoint the damaged section with high accuracy—helping us minimize unnecessary digging or concrete breaking during repair.
When Do You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection?
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a sewer inspection is highly recommended:
- Sewage backing up through basement floor drains or bathroom fixtures
- Persistent foul odours (sewage smell) indoors
- Gurgling noises from basement sinks, tubs, or toilets
- Frequently clogged or slow-draining pipes
- Failed or repeated drain snaking attempts
- Water rising then slowly draining away, leaving residue
- Tree roots or debris found during drain cleaning
- Poor toilet flushing performance in the basement
- Water seepage around the toilet or cracks in the basement floor
- Wastewater appearing in another fixture when using one (e.g., flushing the toilet causes backup in the tub)
