Plumbing work can be messy, but your home shouldn't be. Our team is known for being extremely clean, wearing protective shoe covers, and leaving the workspace in better condition than we found it.

This professional service can help:

Prevent Future Disasters: Catching a small root intrusion now prevents a total pipe collapse later.
Ensure Accurate Diagnostics: Eliminate the guesswork of “snake and pray” methods by seeing the actual obstruction.
Increase Home Buying Confidence: Ensure the 100-year-old plumbing in that beautiful Berkeley home isn't about to fail.
Help With Informed Decision Making: Get a clear understanding of all your repair options before committing to a project.

What to Expect During Your Video Inspection

When we arrive at your Oakland or Berkeley home, the process is streamlined and non-invasive. First, our technician identifies a “cleanout” or an accessible entry point to your sewer line. We then feed a flexible, waterproof camera cable through the pipes.

As the camera moves, a real-time high-definition feed is transmitted to a monitor. The technician will walk you through the footage, pointing out any areas of concern like scale buildup, bellied pipes, or invasive roots. Once the inspection is complete, we provide a clear explanation of our findings and a transparent quote for any work that may be needed to keep your system running smoothly.
