Video Camera Plumbing Inspection
At Curtis Plumbing, we invest in the latest plumbing technology to give our customers the most accurate diagnostics possible. Our state-of-the-art video camera inspection system allows us to see inside your pipes in real time, pinpoint problems, and recommend the best solution.
Plumbing problems often result from some sort of blockage in your sewer lines that lead to drain back-ups. Visual inspection of underground sewer lines via video camera technology is now possible to determine the condition of your underground pipes.
What Is a Video Camera Plumbing Inspection?
A video camera plumbing inspection uses a flexible fiber-optic cable with a high-resolution waterproof camera mounted at the tip. Our trained technicians insert this cable into your drain or sewer line and guide it through the system. The camera sends a live video feed to a monitor, letting our team see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.
- You can even request a copy of the video for your records. Our service includes:
- Narrated video documenting what we find.
- Electronic locating & surface marking, so we know exactly where a problem is underground.
- Permanent record of the inspection, helpful if future issues arise or if you are buying/selling a home.
Why Get A Video Camera Plumbing Inspection?
Many plumbing issues start with hidden problems underground. Video inspection allows us to:
- Identify tree root intrusion before it becomes a major clog.
- Spot cracks, crushed pipes, or punctures caused by shifting soil.
- Find blockages caused by grease buildup, foreign objects, or incorrect installation.
- Verify that repairs or cleanings solved the problem by performing a post-repair inspection.
This service is invaluable for homeowners dealing with repeated drain backups, slow drains, or unexplained sewage odors. It’s also an excellent option for homebuyers in Tucson who want to know the condition of their sewer line before closing on a property.
How is this done? First, our experts use flexible fiber optic cables with a high-resolution camera installed at the tip of that cable for our video camera plumbing inspection services. As the fiber optic cable is inserted into the pipe, the waterproof camera records its findings. Video images are relayed back to the camera operator. The operator then makes an informed decision about the type of problem that exists.
The formal inspection can also be recorded and kept as a permanent record, which allows you and your Tucson plumbing professional to look back over time if other problems arise in the future.
Blockage Reasons
There are many reasons for drain sewer line blockages. One cause is due to tree roots. Other reasons are that the lines have been crushed, cracked, or even punctured by settling earth. If those pipes have been installed incorrectly, this can also lead to blockages. Video camera line inspections help determine the causes for your specific blockage. If the results of your video camera line inspection show that all you need is a simple rooter job or even cleaning of your sewer lines, you can arrange this with your local Tucson plumber. Subsequently, your provider should perform another inspection to ensure the problem was solved. If you suspect a blockage, you can call Curtis Plumbing to find out how to schedule a video camera line inspection. We will be able to assist you with all available options for this type of inspection.

If the inspection shows that all you need is a routine cleaning or rooter service, we can schedule that immediately.
