When to Get a Sewer Camera Inspection in Milton
A sewer camera inspection costs a few hundred dollars. The repairs it can prevent run into the tens of thousands.
What a camera inspection actually shows
We push a high-resolution camera on a flexible cable through your sewer lateral from the main cleanout to the city tie-in. We see cracks, root intrusion, bellies (sags), grease build-up, scale, foreign objects, and pipe material transitions. The footage is recorded so you have documentation.
When to book one
Before buying any home over 30 years old. After any main-line backup. When you have mature trees within 10 metres of the sewer line path. After any major plumbing event in your basement. As part of an annual maintenance plan if you've had repeat issues.
What we look for in older Milton homes
Old Milton, Bronte Meadows and parts of Mountain View have homes with original clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Both materials degrade. Clay joints separate and admit roots; cast iron scales internally and eventually loses cross-section. A camera inspection identifies which problem you have before it becomes a backup.
Costs and turnaround
Inspections typically take 30–60 minutes. We provide a written summary with the recorded footage and a quote for any repair work that's needed.
FAQ
Can a camera inspection clear a clog?
No — it only diagnoses. We'll clear the clog with an auger or hydro-jetter first, then re-camera.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, so we can show you the issues on the screen as we go.
