Certified Local Plumbers | Trusted Sewer Diagnostics
Hidden underground, your home’s main drain and sewer system quietly manage all the wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and appliances. But when something goes wrong—like slow drains, backups, or foul odours—it’s critical to find the root of the issue quickly and accurately. At Mister Plumber, we offer professional sewer and drain camera inspection services in Etobicoke, combining cutting-edge technology with over 20 years of plumbing experience to give you fast and reliable answers.
Why Choose a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Since drain and sewer lines are buried out of sight, traditional methods of identifying blockages or pipe failures can be slow and expensive. A sewer camera inspection is a modern, non-invasive solution. Our waterproof camera, equipped with high-powered LED lights, is inserted directly into the pipe to provide a live video feed on a monitor. This allows our licensed Etobicoke plumbers to spot any damage, obstruction, or installation flaw—right away.
Common Issues Detected During Sewer Camera Inspections:
- Tree root intrusion, which blocks or cracks pipes
- Collapsed or broken clay pipes causing sewage backups
- Sagging or bellied pipes where water collects and flow slows
- Joint separation from ground movement or poor support
- Improper slope or poor pipe installation
- Foreign objects, grease, hygiene products, or wipes causing blockages
- Severe rust or corrosion in older cast iron lines
- Backups originating from the municipal sewer line
- Previous patchwork repairs that weren’t done properly
Why Early Detection is So Important
Underground plumbing repairs often require digging or concrete cutting, which can be expensive and disruptive. That’s why accurate diagnostics are so important before committing to a repair. With our camera inspections, we can determine exactly what and where the problem is, eliminating guesswork. Mister Plumber’s certified team uses industry-grade camera systems (with optional USB video recording) and brings years of hands-on experience to each inspection in Etobicoke homes.
More Than Video – Accurate Pipe Location and Depth Readings
In addition to providing real-time video, our equipment emits an electromagnetic signal, allowing us to detect the exact location and depth of the pipe from above ground. This information is essential for:
- Pinpointing a damaged section before digging begins
- Locating the best access point for basement renovations
- Verifying gravity flow options for basement lowering projects
- Inspecting sewer condition for prospective homebuyers
- Tracing the source of sewer odours
- Identifying whether repairs are on the city’s side or private property
- Finding the right spot for backwater valve installation
- Locating buried building traps in older properties
- Verifying the quality of a recent snaking or flushing service
What to Expect During a Sewer Camera Inspection
- Finding the Access Point
We’ll access your underground drain system through a clean-out, which is typically found where the main drain exits the house or at the bottom of a vertical stack. If no clean-out is available, we may use a floor drain or remove a toilet temporarily to gain access. - Running the Camera
The camera is inserted into the pipe and advanced carefully. You’ll be able to watch the footage live as our plumber explains what’s being seen. - Analyzing the Condition
If the pipe is in good shape, it will appear round, clean, and free of standing water. If we find any issues, we’ll identify the cause and provide clear repair options. - Wrapping Up
Once the inspection is finished, we reseal the clean-out or reinstall the toilet, leaving your plumbing system as we found it.
