Why a Camera Belongs in Every Drain Job

When a drain backs up, clearing the clog is only half the job. The other half is finding out why it happened, and that is what a sewer camera is for. We jet the line clean, then run a camera all the way down, sometimes to the street, so you can see exactly what is going on: roots, a belly in the pipe, or just years of buildup. On one recent job we cleared the pipes, ran the camera as a free bonus, and showed the customer their whole sewage line, a five-hundred-dollar value for under two hundred. That is the kind of honest plumbing work we are after.
