Find Drain Problems Without Opening Walls or Floors
Drain problems are hidden by design. The pipes run behind walls, under floors, and beneath your slab, so the only way to know what is really wrong is to look inside. A video pipe inspection puts a camera in the line and shows us the problem directly.
Heaton Plumbing uses video inspection on kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and under-slab drain lines to find clogs, buildup, cracks, and separations. For the main line between your house and the city connection, see our sewer camera inspection.

Video Pipe Inspection vs. Sewer Camera Inspection
Both use a camera. The difference is which lines we inspect.
| Video Pipe Inspection | Sewer Camera Inspection | |
|---|---|---|
| Lines inspected | Drain lines inside and under the home | Main sewer line to the city connection |
| Common reasons | Fixture clogs, remodels, under-slab drain issues | Main line backups, roots, home purchases |
| Typical findings | Buildup, separations, cracks in branch lines | Roots, bellies, breaks, collapsed pipe |

Video Pipe Inspection FAQs
What is a video pipe inspection?
A video pipe inspection uses a small waterproof camera to look inside drain lines in and under your home. It shows clogs, buildup, cracks, separations, and other damage without opening walls or floors to find them.
What is the difference between a video pipe inspection and a sewer camera inspection?
A video pipe inspection focuses on drain lines inside and under the house, like kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and under-slab branch lines. A sewer camera inspection focuses on the main sewer line running from the house to the city connection.
Can a camera inspection find leaks under my slab?
A camera can show cracks, breaks, and separated joints in drain lines under the slab, which is often how under-slab drain leaks are found. Leaks in pressurized water lines are located with other equipment. See slab leak detection.
Why would I need a video pipe inspection?
Common reasons include clogs that keep coming back in the same fixture, slow drains in one part of the house, odors from a specific drain, planning a remodel, or confirming a drain line was cleared fully after cleaning.
Do you offer video pipe inspection for businesses?
Yes. We inspect drain lines for restaurants, offices, and multi-unit properties as part of our commercial plumbing services.
Can I watch the inspection?
Yes. We are happy to show you the live video and walk you through what we see, so you understand the problem and your options.
