Drain & Sewer Camera Inspection in Toronto

Most drain and sewer problems are hidden underground or behind walls. A sewer camera inspection sends a waterproof high-resolution camera on a flexible cable through the pipe, so we can see roots, cracks, sags, grease and collapsed sections on screen instead of guessing. A built-in locator pinpoints the exact spot and depth from above ground, so any repair is targeted and only the necessary area is dug up.

POM Plumbing performs drain and sewer camera inspections for homeowners, home buyers, condos and commercial properties across Toronto and the GTA. You see the footage live, receive photos or video, and get a plain-language explanation of what we found and what it will cost to fix.

What a Sewer Camera Can Find

Tree Root Intrusion

Roots entering joints of clay and cast iron sewer lines.

Cracks & Breaks

Cracked, broken or separated pipe sections.

Sags & Bellies

Low spots that hold water and collect debris.

Collapsed Pipe

Crushed or collapsed sections that need replacement.

Grease & Scale

Build-up that narrows the pipe and causes repeat clogs.

Lost Objects & Bad Connections

Foreign objects, offset joints and illegal or wrong connections.

When to Book a Camera Inspection

Buying a home especially one older than 40 years
Repeat clogs or backups in the basement
Before renovating a basement or bathroom
Before a backwater valve or subsidy application
Large trees near the sewer line
Sewer smell or wet spots in the yard

Pre-Purchase Sewer Inspection

A standard home inspection does not look inside the sewer line. Replacing a damaged sewer lateral in Toronto can cost $8,000 to $25,000 or more, so a camera inspection before you buy is one of the best-value checks you can make.

Pipe material	Common in Toronto	What we often see
Clay tile	Homes built before about 1960	Roots at joints, cracks, offsets
Cast iron	Older homes, basement drains	Rust, scale, cracks, rough walls
Orangeburg / fibre	Some 1950s – 1970s homes	Deformed or collapsing pipe
PVC / ABS	Newer homes and repairs	Sags, offset joints, debris

Camera Inspection vs Digging to Find the Problem

Without a camera, plumbers often have to guess where a pipe is damaged and dig exploratory holes. A camera with a locator shows the exact distance and depth from the cleanout, which saves digging, protects your lawn and driveway, and makes repair quotes more accurate.

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works

Access the line. We enter through a cleanout, floor drain or a removed toilet.
Inspect. The camera travels the line while you watch on screen.
Locate. Problem spots are located and marked from above ground with depth.
Record. We save photos or video of the findings.
Explain and quote. We explain options and give a written price for any repair.

What You Receive

Live view of the inspection

Location and depth of any defects
Written summary and repair options
Price for cleaning or repair if needed

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQ

What is a sewer camera inspection?

A waterproof camera on a cable is sent through your drain or sewer line to show its condition and locate problems.
How much does a drain camera inspection cost in Toronto?

A typical house main line inspection costs $250 to $450, or $150 to $300 when added to a drain cleaning visit.
How long does a camera inspection take?

Most residential inspections take 45 minutes to an hour and a half.
Is a sewer inspection worth it before buying a home?

Yes, especially for homes over 40 years old. Sewer repairs can cost thousands, and home inspections usually don’t include the sewer line.
Do you provide video or a report?

Yes. We share photos or video of the findings and a written summary.
Can a sewer camera go through a toilet?

Yes. If there is no cleanout, the toilet can be removed to access the line.
Does the inspection include cleaning?

No, but cleaning can be done at the same visit. A blocked line may need cleaning first.
Can the camera tell where the problem is?

Yes. A locator shows the exact position and depth from above ground.
Can I do a camera inspection myself?

Cheap cameras exist, but they can’t locate depth or travel long lines, and reading the footage takes experience.
Will a camera inspection show tree roots?

Yes. Roots at joints are one of the most common findings in older Toronto homes.
Do you inspect commercial and condo lines?

Yes. We inspect mains, stacks, garage drains and storm lines.
