Residential Sewer & Drain Video Inspection

See The Problem Before You Dig.

For homeowners, few things are as stressful as a recurring sewer backup or a wet basement. When your drains slow down or stop working, the traditional method was to "snake and hope" or, worse, start digging up the yard to find the pipe.

At Edenflo, we take the guesswork out of residential drainage. Using advanced CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) video inspection technology, we travel deep inside your sewer and storm lines to identify the exact cause and location of your drainage issues.

Whether you are dealing with a stubbornly blocked drain, planning a renovation, or purchasing a new home, our video inspection service gives you the clear answers you need to make smart repair decisions.

Why Choose Video Inspection?

In the past, plumbing issues were often diagnosed by symptoms alone. Today, we diagnose by sight. Our specialized, self-leveling cameras provide a clear view of the inside of your pipes.

  • Eliminate Guesswork: We don't just tell you that you have a blockage; we show you what it is (roots, grease, collapsed pipe) and where it is.
  • Minimize Destruction: By pinpointing the exact location of a break or blockage, we prevent necessary excavation. We tell you exactly where to dig—down to the inch— saving your driveway, garden, and patio from unnecessary destruction.
  • Verify Repairs: CCTV inspection is the only way to prove that a drain cleaning job was successful or that a repair was performed correctly.

Common Residential Drainage Issues We Detect

The Lower Mainland’s wet climate and mature tree growth put significant stress on residential drainage systems. Our cameras routinely identify:

  • Tree Root Intrusion: The #1 enemy of older clay and concrete pipes. Roots seek out moisture, penetrating small cracks in pipe joints and growing into massive root balls that catch debris and cause backups.
  • Bellied" or Sunken Pipes: When the ground settles, a section of pipe can sink, creating a low spot (belly) where water pools and paper waste collects, eventually causing a blockage.
  • Grease & Sludge Buildup: Over years, kitchen grease and soap scum can coat the walls of your pipes, narrowing the diameter and restricting flow.
  • Offset or Disjointed Pipes: Earth movement or poor installation can cause pipe sections to separate, allowing water to leak into the soil and soil to enter the pipe.
  • Collapsed or Crushed Lines: Identifying structural failure is critical to preventing sinkholes and major sewage leaks

Pre-Purchase "Sewer Scans" for Home Buyers

Don’t buy a money pit. Standard home inspections do not cover the condition of underground sewer or drainage lines.

If you are buying an older home (20+ years) in Vancouver, Surrey, or Langley, a PrePurchase Sewer Inspection is essential. A home may look perfect on the surface, but have thousands of dollars in hidden root damage or collapsed clay tiles underground.

Edenflo provides Real Estate Inspection services that offer:
  • Impartial Evaluation: We provide an objective look at the condition of the Sanitary and Storm lines.
  • Video Evidence: You get a digital copy of the inspection to review with your realtor or use in price negotiations
  • Peace of Mind: Move in knowing your toilets won’t back up on your first night in the new house

Precision Locating: X Marks the Spot

One of the most valuable aspects of our CCTV service is our electronic locating capability.

The head of our camera emits a specific radio frequency. Once we find a defect—say, a root intrusion 45 feet down the line—we use an above-ground receiver to locate that signal. We can mark the exact spot on your lawn or driveway and determine the depth of the pipe.

This means if a repair is needed, your contractor only digs a small hole exactly where the problem is, rather than trenching your entire yard.

The Edenflo Residential Process

  • Access: We gain entry to your lines via an existing cleanout, sump, or roof vent.
  • Inspect: We push our professional inspection camera through the line, recording the journey
  • Diagnose: Our experienced technician watches the monitor in real-time, identifying defects and blockages.
  • Locate: If a defect is found, we map its location and depth.
  • Report: We provide you with the findings and, if necessary, recommend immediate solutions like Hydro-Jetting to scour the line clean or repair options for structural damage.
