FAQs

What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it work?

A plumbing camera inspection involves threading a high-resolution, waterproof video camera attached to a flexible cable through your building’s sewer or drain lines. Our technician monitors a live video feed on a tablet or monitor, allowing us to see the exact condition of the pipe interior in real time. The camera’s built-in LED lights illuminate the line, while distance counters tell us precisely where any defects are located. After the inspection, we provide you with a digital recording and a written report outlining our findings and recommended repairs.

Why should Cleveland businesses choose camera inspections over traditional diagnostic methods?

Camera inspections are non-invasive, meaning we don’t have to excavate floors, parking lots, or landscaping to identify problems. This reduces downtime and keeps your operations running. The detailed video helps pinpoint issues common in Cleveland’s older clay, cast-iron, and PVC sewer lines—such as root intrusion from mature trees, freeze-thaw cracking, and scale buildup caused by the region’s hard water—saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.

What kinds of problems can a commercial sewer camera inspection detect?

Our cameras can identify broken or collapsed pipes, offset joints, tree-root penetration, corrosion, scale buildup, grease blockages, foreign objects, improper pipe slope, and even lost jewelry or tools. We also verify pipe material and diameter, which is helpful for future remodeling or compliance documentation.

Will a camera inspection disrupt my business operations?

Very little. Most inspections take 1–2 hours for small to medium facilities and up to half a day for large complexes. We typically access clean-outs or rooftop vents, so there’s no need to shut down production lines or customer areas. If we do need temporary water shut-offs, we’ll coordinate them during off-peak hours to minimize impact.

How much does a commercial camera inspection cost in the Cleveland area?

Pricing depends on pipe length, accessibility, and whether multiple lines need to be inspected. For most commercial properties, inspections start around $350 for the first 100 feet of mainline and $150 for each additional branch line. We offer bundled pricing for multi-unit or multi-building campuses and provide free, no-obligation quotes after a quick site assessment.

How soon can you schedule an inspection, and what deliverables will I receive?

We can often schedule same-day or next-day service within Cuyahoga, Lake, and Lorain counties. After the inspection, you’ll receive a downloadable HD video file, annotated still images, a written condition report referencing Cleveland plumbing codes, and a repair or maintenance plan if needed. These records are ideal for insurance claims, tenant disputes, or capital-budget planning.
