Recurring clogs, slow drains, and unpleasant odors are more than just an inconvenience; they’re signs of a deeper problem hidden within your pipes. Instead of relying on guesswork and temporary fixes, N.E.T.R., Inc. uses advanced drain camera inspection technology to see exactly what’s happening inside your sewer and drain lines, providing a fast, accurate diagnosis without costly and disruptive excavation.
What Is a Drain Camera Inspection?
A drain camera inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic method that allows our technicians to get a clear, real-time look inside your plumbing system. The process is simple yet effective:
- A high-resolution, waterproof video camera is attached to the end of a flexible fiber-optic cable.
- The cable is inserted into your pipe through a cleanout or other accessible entry point.
- Our technician skillfully navigates the camera through the pipe, viewing the live video feed on a monitor.
This allows us to see the precise location and cause of any issue, from simple blockages to serious pipe damage. We can measure the exact distance to the problem, ensuring any necessary repairs are targeted and efficient.
When Do You Need a Video Pipe Inspection?
A camera inspection is the most effective way to diagnose persistent plumbing problems. Consider scheduling an inspection if you notice:
Recurring Clogs and Backups: If your drains frequently back up despite attempts to clear them, a deeper issue is likely at play.
Multiple Slow Drains: When sinks, showers, and toilets throughout your property are draining slowly, it often points to a blockage in the main sewer line.
Unpleasant Sewer Odors: Foul smells emanating from your drains are a common sign of a blockage or a breach in the sewer line.
Gurgling Noises: Strange sounds from your pipes often indicate that air is trapped due to a blockage.
Planning a Renovation: Before a major home renovation, an inspection ensures your plumbing can handle the new load.
Buying a New Home: A pre-purchase sewer scope inspection is crucial, especially for older homes, to avoid inheriting costly, hidden plumbing problems.
What Our Cameras Can Uncover in Your Pipes
A video inspection takes the guesswork out of drain and sewer problems. Our certified technicians are trained to identify a wide range of issues, including:
- Stubborn Blockages: We can see precisely what is causing a clog, whether it’s an accumulation of grease, foreign objects, or other debris.
- Tree Root Intrusion: A primary cause of sewer line damage, tree roots can enter through tiny cracks and expand, causing major blockages and breaking pipes.
- Cracked, Broken, or Collapsed Pipes: Shifting soil, extreme temperatures, or age can cause pipes to break down. A camera inspection reveals the exact extent of the damage.
- Pipe Corrosion: Older pipes, especially those made of cast iron, can corrode from the inside out, leading to restrictions and eventual failure.
- Bellied or Sagging Pipes: A section of the pipe may sink due to ground conditions, creating a “belly” where waste and paper collect, leading to repeat blockages.
- Leaking Pipe Joints: The seals between pipe sections can fail over time, allowing water to escape into the surrounding soil.

We fix the cause, not just the symptom. Our drain specialists use proven tools and modern diagnostics to deliver long-lasting results for rooter work and drain clearing.
Find the Problem with Video Drain Inspection
Before any work begins, we can run a high-resolution camera through the line. This lets us see inside your pipes, mark the exact spot of a blockage, and identify what is causing it, whether roots, grease, scale, or a broken section. We also assess overall pipe condition so we can choose the best repair and save you time and money.
Strong Clearing with Rooter Tools and Hydro Jetting
Once we know what we are dealing with, we match the method to the problem.
Mechanical Rooting (Augers): For solid obstructions like tree roots or heavy debris, our powered augers, often called snakes, break through and remove the blockage to restore flow.
Hydro Jetting: For grease, sludge, mineral buildup, or recurring clogs, high-pressure water scours the pipe interior and flushes out years of deposits. It is a safe, highly effective option for full-line cleaning and sewer cleanouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drain Service FAQs
Have questions about your clogged drains or sewer lines? We’ve got answers.
How long does a drain camera inspection take?
Most residential camera inspections are completed within one to two hours. The exact time depends on the length and complexity of the pipes being inspected.
Is a camera inspection necessary for a simple clog?
For a single, minor clog (like a slow sink), a camera inspection may not be the first step. However, if the clog is persistent, affects multiple drains, or you suspect a more serious issue, a camera inspection is the best way to get a definitive diagnosis and avoid repeated service calls.
Can you inspect any drainpipe?
Our camera systems are versatile and can be used in most standard residential and commercial drain lines, including main sewer lines, kitchen drains, and laundry lines. The main limitation is the size of the pipe and the accessibility of a cleanout point. Our technicians will assess the situation and determine the best approach.
