How Drain Camera Inspections Work
At VHP Services, we use advanced, waterproof drain cameras to inspect the interior of your plumbing system with high-definition clarity. This technology allows our technicians to visually assess the condition of your drains in real time — without the need for digging, cutting, or guesswork.
The inspection process begins by inserting a flexible rod-mounted camera through an accessible cleanout, drain opening, or pipe. As the camera moves through the system, it transmits a live video feed to a monitor, allowing our experts to detect issues such as:
• Blockages caused by debris or buildup
• Cracks, fractures, or collapsed pipe sections
• Tree root intrusions
• Pipe misalignment or sagging (known as bellied pipes)
• Corrosion or scaling inside the pipe walls.
This service is essential for diagnosing persistent drainage issues, checking the health of underground pipes, or confirming the cause of sewer backups. It’s also a smart move before purchasing a home or starting a renovation project.
After the inspection, we’ll provide a clear explanation of our findings — and if needed, a recorded video file — along with expert recommendations for the most effective and affordable solution.
Common Problems We Detect
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can grow into underground pipes through small cracks or joints, blocking water flow and causing major damage over time. A drain camera allows us to spot root intrusion early before it leads to full pipe collapse.
Cracked or Collapsed Pipes
Pipes can crack or fully collapse due to shifting soil, corrosion, or aging materials. With a drain camera inspection, we can identify structural damage that isn’t visible from the surface — before it turns into a major backup or costly repair.
Misaligned or Sagging Pipe Sections
Pipes that have shifted or “bellied” (sagged) can cause waste and water to collect, leading to blockages and slow drainage. These misalignments are clearly visible during a video inspection.
Grease, Debris, and Buildup
Over time, grease, soap scum, and debris can cling to pipe walls, narrowing the flow path. A camera inspection pinpoints exactly where the buildup is and how severe it has become.
Recurring Drain Clogs or Backups
If your drains keep clogging, there may be a hidden issue deeper in the system. Our inspection can uncover stubborn blockages that regular snaking or plunging won’t resolve.
Corrosion and Pipe Wear
In older cast iron piping systems, corrosion can eat away at the pipe walls from the inside. A camera lets us assess the condition of your pipes and determine if repair or replacement is needed.
