You see exactly what we see
Video Plumbing Inspection in Katy, TX
A flexible, waterproof camera goes where eyes can't — locating blockages, cracks and leaks precisely. Our technicians walk you through the live feed, so the diagnosis is something you watch, not something you take on faith.
What breaks sewer lines in the first place
The usual suspects in Katy-area lines: tree roots invading through small cracks or joints, grease and debris buildup restricting flow, older pipe corroding or collapsing, shifting soil and ground movement causing misalignment and breaks, and foreign objects — wipes, sanitary products, toys — flushed where they shouldn't be.
The camera tells us which one you're dealing with, exactly where, and how bad. That's the difference between a targeted repair and a guess with a shovel.
Keeping the line healthy afterward
Prevention is mostly habits: don't flush non-degradable items or pour grease down the drain, keep new trees and shrubs away from the sewer path, use enzyme-based cleaners to break down organic buildup, keep water pressure within the recommended range, and address early warning signs promptly.
Routine camera inspections catch developing problems while they're still small — with 25 years servicing Katy's homes and businesses, we've inspected thousands of sewer lines, drain systems and underground pipes across Fort Bend, Waller and Harris counties.
What we handle
Video Plumbing Inspection work we handle every week
Sewer Line Inspection
Navigate the main line to find root intrusion, grease buildup, corrosion, misalignment and breaks — before anything is dug.
Drain System Diagnostics
Persistent clogs that defeat standard methods get a camera diagnosis to find the real cause instead of treating the symptom.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Before buying a home, camera the sewer line — hidden plumbing problems are far cheaper to discover before closing.
Leak & Crack Location
High-resolution footage identifies cracks and leaks precisely, so repairs are targeted rather than exploratory.
Post-Cleaning Verification
After a drain cleaning, the camera confirms the line is fully clear and catches any developing issues — included free with every drain cleaning.
Hard-to-Reach Systems
Pipelines, plumbing systems, even chimneys and ductwork — anywhere a flexible waterproof camera can reach, we can diagnose.

Don't see your question? Ask a real person — we answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
281-601-1513What does a sewer camera inspection show?
Blockages, cracks, leaks, root intrusion, corrosion, misalignment and collapsed sections — with the exact location and depth. You watch the feed live with the technician, so the diagnosis is transparent.
Is the camera inspection really free with drain cleaning?
Yes — every drain cleaning we perform includes a complimentary video inspection to verify the line is fully clear and to catch developing issues early.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?
Strongly recommended. A standard home inspection can't see inside the sewer line, and repairs can run thousands. A pre-purchase camera inspection tells you what you're actually buying.
Can the camera find the exact spot to dig?
Yes — the camera locates problems precisely, so if excavation or repair is needed, it's targeted to the damaged section rather than exploratory.
