Camera Video Inspection: A Game-Changer in Plumbing

One of our most sought-after services is camera video inspection, a cutting-edge approach that has revolutionized the plumbing industry. Gone are the days of guesswork and intrusive exploratory digging. With our advanced camera technology, we can now inspect the interior of pipes and sewer lines with precision and clarity. Here’s how it works: A small, high-definition camera is attached to a flexible rod and carefully navigated through the plumbing system. As the camera travels through the pipes, it transmits a real-time video feed that allows our team to locate blockages, cracks, leaks, and even roots that might be causing problems. The camera video inspection helps pinpoint exact locations of issues, allowing us to fix them without unnecessary excavation. This technology has proven invaluable for North Shore and Northwest Chicago homeowners who appreciate a minimally invasive, efficient, and affordable solution to their plumbing woes.

Benefits of Camera Video Inspection


- Precision and Accuracy:

Video inspection provides an up-close look at your plumbing system, revealing hidden issues that might not be visible otherwise. It’s particularly useful for detecting clogs, pipe misalignments, and cracks that could escalate if not addressed.

- Cost-Efficiency:

By identifying the exact problem area, camera inspection reduces the need for widespread digging and repair. This saves time and money, as we can focus on the problem without unnecessary labor.

- Preventive Maintenance:

Regular camera inspections can spot potential issues before they become major concerns. For instance, a small crack might seem harmless but could lead to costly repairs if left unattended.

- Peace of Mind:

Knowing that your plumbing system is in good shape brings peace of mind. Our camera inspection gives you a clear understanding of any existing issues and reassurance that your home is protected from unexpected plumbing emergencies.

Recent Projects:

A Glimpse into Doctor Drain’s Expertise From Highland Park to Glenview, Arlington Heights to Northbrook, Doctor Drain has been hard at work tackling complex plumbing challenges for residents across the North Shore and Northwest suburbs. Here are some of our recent projects that highlight the range and quality of our services:

1. Broken Sewer Line Detection in Evanston . One recent call led us to Evanston, where a homeowner had been experiencing recurring sewage backups. Using our camera video inspection, we quickly identified a collapsed section in the sewer line. The inspection allowed us to locate the precise spot of the breakage, minimizing the need for excavation. After pinpointing the issue, we performed a targeted excavation to remove the damaged section and replaced it with a new, durable pipe. The homeowner was thrilled with the quick turnaround, minimal disruption, and the peace of mind that comes from a job well done.

2. Clearing Clogged Drains in Winnetka . We responded to a clogged drain issue in a charming Winnetka home, where repeated drain problems had frustrated the residents. Our video inspection revealed a stubborn grease buildup and tree roots encroaching on the line. After identifying the blockage’s exact location, we used specialized equipment to clear the obstruction, restoring the flow and function of the drains. This happy customer has since referred us to multiple neighbors, and we are proud to have gained the trust of the community.

3. Major Sewer Stoppage in Northbrook. In Northbrook, we recently tackled a major sewer stoppage that had caused wastewater backups in a client’s basement. Thanks to our camera inspection, we detected a severe blockage caused by years of mineral buildup. Once we located the precise location of the stoppage, our team carefully excavated the area and performed an extensive cleaning. The client left us a glowing review, emphasizing how grateful they were for our prompt and professional service.
