What does a sewer camera inspection cost in St. Catharines?

Most residential inspections start at $249+HST for up to 100′ of piping. Extended lengths or commercial lines are quoted per foot.

How often should I get a drain inspection?

We recommend an annual sewer scope or drain camera inspection, especially if your home is near mature trees or has older clay or cast-iron lines.

Can minor clogs be cleared during the camera inspection?

Yes—minor blockages can often be removed immediately with hydro-jetting tools. Major repairs are scheduled separately.

Is trench-less repair always an option?

Trench-less pipe lining works for sectional damage (cracks or roots). Full trench-less replacement is possible if corrosion is widespread; severe collapses may need open excavation.
