Professional Sewer Camera Inspections for Accurate Diagnostics
A sewer camera inspection, also known as a CCTV pipe inspection or video pipe inspection, is one of the most accurate ways to diagnose hidden problems inside drain and sewer lines without excavation.
Using advanced video inspection technology, Total Drain Solutions can identify blockages, corrosion, root intrusion, cracks, collapsed pipes, bellied lines, and structural defects in real time.
We provide professional sewer camera inspection services for residential and commercial properties throughout Florida and Nevada. Our inspections help eliminate guesswork and ensure the correct cleaning or repair method is selected the first time.

How Sewer Camera and CCTV Pipe Inspections Work
During a CCTV pipe inspection, a small waterproof camera is inserted into the sewer or drain line to capture real-time video footage. This allows our team to inspect the inside of the pipe before recommending drain cleaning, hydro jetting, trenchless repair, or pipe lining.
Our process begins by inserting a high-definition camera through an existing cleanout or access point. As the camera moves through the line, it allows us to:
- Locate hidden drain clogs
- Identify corrosion or pipe scaling
- Detect root intrusion
- Find cracks, leaks, and collapsed sections
- Identify misaligned or sagging drain lines
- Check for grease, sludge, and debris buildup
After the inspection, we review the footage and explain the most effective next step based on the condition of the line.
When a Sewer Camera Inspection Is Recommended
Camera inspections are often recommended:
-
Before performing hydro jetting
-
Prior to trenchless sewer repair
-
When recurring backups occur
-
Before purchasing property
-
For preventative maintenance planning
-
For commercial or multi-unit properties
In many cases, a camera inspection helps determine whether cleaning or structural repair is required.
Solutions That May Follow a Camera Inspection
Depending on what we find, we may recommend:
- Drain cleaning
- Hydro jetting
- Mechanical cleaning
- Trenchless sewer repair
- Trenchless pipe lining
- Sovent cleaning

Our goal is to recommend the most efficient and least invasive solution based on the actual condition of the pipe.
