Why Choose a Sewer Camera Inspection in St. Catharines?

Precise Problem Location: A sewer inspection uses a flexible, waterproof camera head that records clear, real-time footage. No guesswork—whether it’s a grease clog under the kitchen sink, a fractured pipe joint in your basement, or root intrusion under Port Dalhousie driveways, a video sewer inspection shows you exactly where the issue lies. Explore our clogged drain services. ● Cost-Effective Repairs: Traditional dig-and-replace methods can cost thousands. A drain camera inspection or pipe video inspection pinpoints the repair area, so you only excavate exactly where it’s needed—saving time and money. Learn about our foundation repair solutions ● Prevent Future Emergencies: Early detection of minor leaks, hairline cracks, or tree roots halts small problems before they become full sewer backups, foul odors, or foundation damage. A routine sewer scope inspection keeps your pipes flowing freely.
