When an inspection earns its fee

  • The main line has blocked more than once in a year
  • An older house is under offer and its lateral is an unknown
  • Roots were pulled from the line during clearing
  • Planning a basement renovation that adds new fixtures
  • After a heavy storm caused a backup you cannot explain

How we do the work

  1. Clear the line first if water is standing, so the camera can see the pipe walls.
  2. Insert the push camera through the cleanout and record continuously.
  3. Measure distances from the entry point to every defect observed.
  4. Locate from above. A sonde transmitter on the camera head lets us mark the surface over a fault.
  5. Summarise in writing. Each finding is logged with distance, type and severity.
A reading guide. Offset joints, longitudinal cracks, root intrusion and standing water (a belly) are the four findings you are most likely to see on a Mississauga recording.

Mississauga homes and this job

A clay lateral from the 1950s in Port Credit or Applewood and a PVC line from the 1990s in Meadowvale produce very different footage. The first often shows root hair at joints; the second can show settled sections where backfill was poorly compacted. Either way, the recording lets a repair be priced precisely instead of assumed. Where the finding is a flow problem rather than a defect, hydro jetting may be the right next step.

Related checks

Many homeowners combine the inspection with a look at the sump pump and the floor drain trap, since all three affect whether a basement stays dry. Our guide to testing a sump pump explains the simple seasonal check.

What affects the cost

  • Whether the line must be cleared before filming
  • Length of the lateral and any access difficulties
  • Surface locating and marking of defects

Answers our Mississauga crew gives most

Is the recording mine to keep?

Yes. We provide the recording along with the written summary.

Can the camera go through a toilet?

Sometimes, but a cleanout gives a much clearer and safer entry.

Is an inspection useful before buying?

Very. A lateral repair can be a significant expense that a standard home inspection does not cover.
