How Does a Drain Inspection Work?
During a drain inspection, our professionals use a flexible, snake-like camera with high-resolution and waterproof features designed specifically for drain line inspection. We do not guess, and we do not dig first.
A plumber will locate an access point to your drain system and carefully insert the device into your pipes. These high-quality cameras allow our team to view the inside of your lines in real time on a ground-level screen. Our technician will move the camera throughout your system, identifying any issues with precision. The process is non-invasive and typically completed in just a few hours.

When Should You Call a Plumber for a Drain Inspection?
Drain inspections come in handy in a number of situations. Here are the most common reasons Spokane Valley homeowners call us:
Your Pipes Are Older
Many homes in Spokane Valley were built decades ago and still have their original drain lines. Older
pipes are more prone to damage such as leaks, corrosion, and tree root intrusion. A camera inspection
will catch minor issues before they become major ones and helps our plumbers work more carefully
during any repair.
You Are Experiencing Recurring Plumbing Issues
Frequent plumbing problems are not normal. You may want to schedule a drain inspection if you notice any of the following:
- Foul odors coming from your drains
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers
- Standing water in your yard
- Bubbling or gurgling sounds from sinks or toilets
A drain inspection can help our plumbers identify the root cause and get your system back in working order, and help prevent future complications from developing.
You Are Buying or Selling a Home
If you are purchasing or selling a home in Spokane Valley, a pre-purchase drain inspection gives buyers and sellers a clear picture of the drain system’s condition so there are no surprises at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a drain inspection?
We feed a waterproof camera down the line and watch the footage in real time. It shows blockages, roots, cracks, bellies and joint failures, and where along the line each one sits.
When is an inspection worth paying for?
Before buying a home, after repeated backups, before a remodel that adds fixtures, and any time you are about to spend money on a repair and want to know the real cause first.
How long does it take?
Usually under an hour for a single line. Larger properties or several lines take longer.
Do I get to see the footage?
Yes. We would rather show you what is in your line than describe it, and you get documentation of the findings.
Can an inspection find a leak?
It finds breaks, separations and intrusions in the drain line itself. For pressurised water lines we use leak detection equipment instead, which is a different tool for a different problem.
Is it safe for older pipes?
Yes. The camera is pushed through on a flexible cable and puts no pressure on the pipe, which is exactly why we inspect before choosing a cleaning method on older lines.
I am buying a house. Is this really necessary?
On an older Spokane Valley property with mature trees, we would say yes. A sewer lateral replacement is a five-figure surprise, and a general home inspection does not look inside the line.
What if you find a problem?
You get the footage, an explanation of what it means, and options with prices. There is no obligation to have us do the repair.
