Camera Inspections
Find the problem before digging. Ashby Plumbing & Flushing provides professional sewer camera inspections to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, pipe misalignment and hidden drainage issues.
Professional Sewer Camera Inspections
Drain and sewer problems are not always visible from the surface. A slow drain, recurring backup or unpleasant odour may be caused by a blockage, damaged pipe, root intrusion or a sewer line issue located underground or behind finished walls.

What a Sewer Camera Inspection Can Detect
Camera inspections help locate the cause of drainage problems without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
- Blockages & Buildup
Identify grease, sludge, debris, scale, paper products and other obstructions restricting flow.
- Tree Root Intrusion
Find roots entering cracked joints or damaged sewer lines before the blockage gets worse.
- Cracked or Broken Pipes
Spot damaged sections, separated joints and structural issues inside the pipe.
- Collapsed Sections
Locate collapsed or severely damaged areas that may require repair or replacement.
- Pipe Misalignment
Detect shifted pipe sections, bellies and improper slope that can lead to repeated backups.
- Hidden Leaks
Camera inspections can help identify signs of water loss, infiltration and drainage failure.
When Should You Book a Camera Inspection?
A camera inspection is useful whenever a drain or sewer problem keeps coming back or the cause is not obvious.
- Recurring Drain Backups
If the same drain keeps clogging, a camera inspection can reveal the underlying issue.
- Slow Drains Throughout the Property
Multiple slow drains may point to a main sewer or drainage line issue.
- Before Major Repairs
Inspecting the line first helps avoid unnecessary repairs and confirms the best solution.
- Before Buying a Property
A sewer inspection can identify costly underground drainage issues before purchase.

You receive clear advice on whether cleaning, jetting, repair or replacement is the best next step.
