Licensed & Experienced Local Drain Experts
Most homeowners don’t think about their underground sewer and main drain pipes—until something goes wrong. These pipes are hidden beneath the basement concrete floor and the ground outside your home, making their condition difficult to assess without professional equipment.
If you’re experiencing a sewer backup in your basement or slow drains, it’s time to take a closer look. At Mister Plumber and Sewer Expert, we offer professional sewer camera inspections in Scarborough using state-of-the-art technology. Our non-invasive video inspections help uncover the exact cause of drainage issues—saving you time, stress, and costly repairs.
How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works
A sewer camera inspection is the most accurate way to identify issues inside your underground drain system.
Our equipment includes:
- A flexible push cable with an HD waterproof camera
- Built-in LED lights for visibility inside the pipe
- A live monitor for real-time inspection
- USB or memory card recording options
- A locator to detect the pipe’s exact underground position and depth
The camera is inserted through an accessible cleanout or drain opening. As it travels through your sewer line, our licensed plumber watches the live video feed to look for cracks, blockages, tree roots, corrosion, or pipe misalignment. The locator tool also allows us to mark the exact spot for repair—avoiding unnecessary excavation or demolition.
Signs You May Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
If you notice any of the following, a video inspection is strongly recommended:
- Sewage backing up through your basement floor drain or lower-level bathroom
- Persistent sewage odours in your home
- Gurgling sounds from sinks, tubs, or toilets in the basement
- Frequent clogs that don’t resolve with basic snaking
- Slow drainage with wastewater backing up before draining
- Evidence of tree root intrusion during previous cleanings
- Poor toilet flushing performance, especially in the basement
- Seepage around the toilet or visible water around basement floor cracks
- Using one fixture (e.g., flushing toilet) causes backup in another (e.g., shower or sink)
- Previous drain cleaning attempts haven’t solved the issue
