Key takeaways
- A waterproof camera on a cable records the inside of the pipe
- It shows buildup, roots, cracks and shifted joints
- Findings are tied to distances
- A yearly look builds a history
What it is
A small waterproof camera with its own light is pushed through the drain on a flexible cable, while a monitor shows the live picture and the recording is saved. The cable carries a distance counter so every finding can be located again.
It is like a dental X-ray for your pipes.
What it shows
The pipe material, buildup, roots entering at joints, cracks, shifted or offset joints and low spots that hold water. After a cleaning, it shows how clean the pipe actually is.
That makes it a measuring tool as well as a diagnostic one.
What it cannot show
A camera shows the inside of the pipe it can reach. It cannot see through the wall, and a full blockage, deep water or tight bends can stop it. Where it stops is itself a finding, and a good report says so.
It is a look, not a guarantee.
Why include it in a plan
A camera once a year, ideally just after a cleaning, gives a clear picture and a comparison with last year. It turns an aging line from a worry into a set of facts and often shows whether yearly cleaning is enough.
The footage becomes part of your record.
Quick answers
Do I get the video?
Yes. Ask for a copy with your summary.
Is it the same as a sewer scope?
It is the same tool. A scope for a home purchase is a one-time report, while a check-up is part of ongoing care.
