Drain Camera Inspection in Katy, TX

When you need a camera inspection

Call for a drain camera inspection when you need to see the line, not just push a cable through it:

This page is for Katy homeowners and light-commercial properties who want footage and a locate, not a punch-through. If you already know you only need the line opened, that is cleaning or snaking, a later sibling page.

• The same spot clogs again after it was opened
• More than one fixture backs up at once
• You are buying a Katy house and want a pre-purchase look at the sewer
• An insurer asked for video of the line
• Someone recommended jetting or trenchless work and you want to see the pipe first
• A recent clean needs a verify pass, without booking another clean on this page
• You can smell sewer, hear gurgling, or see sewage at the lowest drain and you want the cause named

How the inspection works

1. Licensed Master Plumbers run the camera.
2. Find the access. We start at a cleanout when one is there. No usable cleanout can mean a toilet pull for that run only.
3. Run the sewer line camera. Live drain video on the screen. Video pipe inspection of the line we can actually reach from that access. We do not invent a “to the city main every time” promise, and we do not invent a first-20-feet limit either. The run is what that access and that pipe allow.
4. Locate. When we find the defect, we mark the problem and note depth and nature (roots at a joint, offset, belly, collapse, crack, corrosion, material).
5. Walk through the findings. You see the live video with us. We say what it is and what it is not, including when it is a slab drain issue and when it is not a slab leak.
6. Recorded footage. The recording can be shared so you, a buyer, or an adjuster can see the same picture. We do not sell a USB stick or an email package as a product on this page.
7. Upfront price before we start. Written price after we see the access and the line, not a coupon and not a timed SLA.
8. If the footage says the line should be cleaned, jetted, or repaired later, we will say that. We will not turn this visit into that work.

What we find (and what we do not)

In scope: roots, offset joints, bellies, collapse, cracks, corrosion, leftover builder debris, and the pipe material (clay, cast iron,

PVC). Recurring same-spot clogs and multi-fixture backups often show one of those. Pre-purchase, insurance, before-jetting, before-trenchless, and after-clean verify are all camera jobs.

Out of scope: a slab leak on a pressurized water line. Camera inspection of a drain does not find a leak in the water service under the slab.

Not this page: snaking a clog, hydro jetting grease or scale, or selling a clean because the camera is already in the yard.
