If you’re dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, or mysterious plumbing issues, the answers lie inside your pipes. Professional drain camera scoping uses high-definition fiber-optic cameras to inspect your entire drainage system, from interior branch lines to the main sewer connection. Instead of guessing, we can see exactly what’s wrong and recommend the right fix.
Our certified technicians bring over 45 years of experience with the issues that affect Seattle-area homes. Whether you’re troubleshooting a stubborn clog, evaluating your sewer line before repairs, or getting a pre-purchase inspection, a sewer scope gives you the clarity to make smart decisions.
What We Identify During a Drain Camera Inspection
Many homes in Seattle’s older neighborhoods still have original or aging sewer systems with their own set of problems. Our camera inspections catch these common issues:
- Root Intrusion: Seattle’s mature trees are drawn to moisture in sewer pipes. Roots enter through joints and cracks, then grow and trap debris until the line is blocked. We pinpoint where roots have entered and how far they’ve spread.
- Clay Pipe Joint Separation: Soil movement, settling, and root pressure can separate the joints in older clay pipes, letting soil, roots, and groundwater in. Our camera shows the location and severity so you know which repair is needed.
- Cast Iron Corrosion: Homes built between the 1920s and 1970s often have cast iron pipes that corrode from the inside out, creating rough surfaces that catch debris and restrict flow. We show you how extensive the corrosion is and whether the pipe needs replacing.
- Bellied Pipe Sections: Bellied pipes have sunk or settled, creating low spots where water and waste collect. Common in Seattle due to ground movement, they’re easy to address once located – before backups occur.
