Our basement floor drain backed up on a Sunday. PlusFlow called back quickly, cleared the line and showed us on camera what caused it. Clear explanation, no pressure, and they left everything clean.

A sewer camera inspection shows exactly what is happening inside your pipes — without digging. We record the line, locate problem areas and walk you through the footage so decisions are based on evidence rather than guesswork.
Overview
A CCTV inspection sends a waterproof, self-levelling camera through your sewer or drain line to record the inside of the pipe. You see exactly what we see — roots, cracks, offsets, sags and build-up — along with the distance from the access point.
It's the most reliable way to diagnose recurring problems and to understand a line's condition before buying a home, renovating or committing to repairs.

No clear, no clearing charge
On eligible standard blockages.
Spot Problems Early
Problems build up gradually. Watch for these warning signs before a small issue becomes a backup.
Cleaning works for a while, then the line blocks again.
Standard home inspections rarely look inside the sewer lateral.
Know the line's condition before adding a bathroom or developing the basement.
Mature trees often send roots into joints and cracks.
Find out why it happened, not just that it's cleared.
Can point to a broken or leaking underground line.
Root Causes
Understanding the cause is how we stop a problem from coming back — not just clear it for today.
01Fine roots enter joints, then grow into dense masses.
02Ground movement shifts pipe sections out of alignment.
03Low spots collect water and debris that cause repeat clogs.
04Ageing clay, cast-iron or Orangeburg pipe breaks down over time.

Yes. We can provide the recorded footage along with a summary of findings and the approximate location of any defects.
For older properties especially, a sewer scope shows the condition of the line before you take ownership — information a standard home inspection usually doesn't include.
No. The camera goes in through an existing cleanout or fixture, so there's no excavation needed to see inside the pipe.
