Problems we solve with video and sewer camera inspection services

Hidden blockages and structural faults often start as small nuisances before they become costly failures. We identify those early so you can act with confidence.

Recurring clogs and slow drains are often symptoms, not the full problem. We visualise the blockage to show whether clearing, root cutting, or repair is required.

Persistent odours or damp spots can indicate hidden water leaks. Our process confirms the exact location of seepage so you can stop damage and mould growth.

HD footage reveals tree root intrusion, cracked segments, joint failures, or collapsed pipes. That level of detail prevents repeated service calls and guesswork.

  • Diagnose recurring clogs, slow drain performance, and sewer backups.
  • Confirm leaks, locate seepage, and verify post-repair integrity.
  • Detect roots, cracks, joint separations, and collapsed sections.
  • Pre-purchase sewer inspection for peace of mind and clear documentation.

We document every finding with timestamped footage and distance markers so you and your contractor know the scope. Call 604-670-3737 for a focused assessment across North and West Vancouver.

Our inspection process: fast, precise, and non-invasive

We start every job with a fast site survey that maps the sewer path and pinpoints likely trouble spots. This initial assessment guides our route and keeps on-site time short.

inspection process

Initial assessment and locating your sewer line

We locate the main line using transmitters so the diagnostic run is efficient. That early step reduces guesswork and targets the area that needs review.

HD camera entry, live diagnostics, and recording

Our HD camera is fed through a cleanout to deliver live video and capture stills. The live feed lets us spot obstructions, cracks, offsets, and infiltration in real time.

Exact pinpointing to avoid unnecessary digging

An on-screen locator marks the exact surface position of defects. Precise locating reduces or eliminates unnecessary excavation and speeds repair planning.

Clear report, video delivery, and repair options

You receive a written report with distance measurements, captured stills, and the full video file. We can provide files on USB or a secure cloud link.

Our technician will review findings with you on-site and outline repair options by urgency and cost. With clear evidence, you make confident choices that save time and avoid rework.

Advanced cameras and technology for reliable results

Modern fleets combine robust hardware with software that turns pipe data into clear, actionable reports. We pair high-definition optics with rugged traversal systems so you get accurate condition reads for any sewer line.

High-definition optics for detailed pipe condition

Our HD optics reveal hairline cracks, offset joints, mineral buildup, and root intrusion with clarity. Robust lighting and high frame rates improve visibility in turbid flow, so diagnostics remain reliable even under challenging conditions.

Robotic crawlers for long and large-diameter lines

We deploy robotic crawlers such as the ROVVER X for 6″–96″ pipes and runs up to 1,640 feet. For pole-mounted access on laterals, systems like Quickview airHD provide extended reach and 360x zoom for hard-to-reach sections.

On-screen locating to mark issues in real time

On-screen locating ties each detected fault to a precise surface point. This reduces excavation and helps plan targeted repairs quickly. We deliver your recorded video and stills via USB or secure cloud link for claims and contractor use.

  • Equipment scales from residential laterals to commercial mains.
  • Real-time feeds let us act immediately—clean, record, or mark multiple repair points.
  • Proven technology produces repeatable results and faster resolutions.

Residential and commercial inspection services

We offer tailored inspection services for homes and businesses to catch small faults before they escalate.

Residential: backups, slow drains, unexplained moisture

For a home, recurring backups, slow drains, or unexplained moisture can signal hidden leaks or infiltration in the sewer line or branch drains.

We prioritise quick diagnosis and clear reports so you know whether monitoring, targeted repairs, or replacement is needed.

Commercial: compliance, prevention, and minimal downtime

Businesses rely on scheduled services to meet compliance and protect operations from costly shutdowns.

Our approach minimises disruption and schedules work around peak hours to keep revenue flowing.

Preventative maintenance and post-repair verification

Recurring maintenance finds small defects early, reducing total ownership cost and extending system life.

After repairs, we run a follow-up pass to confirm the fix and rule out secondary faults.

New installation verification for quality assurance

On new builds we validate slope, connections, and integrity so the installation meets code and warranty requirements.

Every service includes documented footage and notes to create a baseline for future planning.

Upfront pricing for camera inspection and drain services

We give a single, upfront price for the initial diagnostic and any immediate work needed. This prevents surprise bills and keeps approvals simple for homeowners and businesses.

Prevent costly excavation with targeted repairs

By pinpointing defects we design targeted repairs that avoid unnecessary digging. That protects landscaping, hardscapes, and interior finishes while reducing labour and equipment time.

  • Flat-rate quotes make budgeting straightforward.
  • Pinpoint locating lets us go directly to the source and save you time.
  • We present staged options—spot repair versus lining—so you can pick the best solution for your job.
  • Precise locating reduces labour hours and keeps the total cost of the sewer work under control.

We prioritise clear deliverables and staged scheduling so the work fits your household or business routine. Call Lord Mechanical LTD at 604-670-3737 to book a flat-rate assessment across North and West Vancouver.

When to schedule a camera inspection

Not all clogs are the same; some signal deeper sewer defects that need immediate review.

If you see backups, slow drains, or sudden odours, call us right away for an emergency diagnostic. We can run a focused check and show live footage so you understand the problem and options on site.

Emergency blockages and repeated drainage issues

Call us during an emergency to identify and clear a clog quickly. Repeated drainage problems often point to roots, cracks, or collapsed sections. Acting early prevents further damage and repeated service calls.

Before renovations or property purchases

Before you renovate or buy, verify the main line and branches. We confirm that pipes can handle added fixtures and reveal hidden defects you can use in negotiations or planning.

After sewer line repairs to confirm success

Following repairs, we run a final pass to confirm correct flow and document the result. That proof helps with warranties, claims, and peace of mind.

  • Immediate check for emergency blockages to restore service fast.
  • Schedule for repeated drain issues to stop escalation and costs.
  • Pre-renovation and pre-purchase checks to avoid surprises.
  • Post-repair verification to document successful plumbing work.

FAQ

What is an advanced video camera inspection and why should Vancouver homeowners or businesses choose it?

An advanced video camera inspection uses high-definition optics and on-screen locating to examine sewer and drain lines without excavation. We can see blockages, cracks, root intrusions and joint failures quickly, which saves time and prevents unnecessary digging. For Vancouver properties, this means faster diagnosis and targeted repairs that reduce disruption to your home or business.

What sets Lord Mechanical LTD apart from other local plumbing companies?

We combine licensed, insured technicians with modern robotic crawlers and precision locating tools. Our team specialises in both residential and commercial systems across North and West Vancouver. We deliver clear, recorded results, a detailed report and practical repair recommendations so you can make informed decisions.

Do you offer same-day service and how can we arrange it?

Yes — we prioritise urgent drainage problems and offer same-day responses when possible. Call our dispatch at 604-670-3737 to describe the issue, and we’ll schedule a technician promptly to assess and, if required, carry out inspection and repairs.

Which common problems can a sewer line inspection identify?

Inspections routinely reveal recurring clogs, slow drains, sewer backups, hidden water leaks and sources of unidentified odours. We also detect tree root penetration, pipe cracks, joint failures and collapsed sections that compromise flow and structural integrity.

Can inspections help before buying a property or starting renovations?

Absolutely. A pre-purchase or pre-renovation inspection gives you a clear picture of the condition of underground lines. That knowledge helps avoid costly surprises, supports negotiation and ensures renovation plans account for any necessary repairs or replacements.

How does your inspection process work on-site?

We begin with an initial assessment and locate the sewer or drain entry point. Our technician feeds an HD probe into the line while monitoring live diagnostics and recording the feed. We use on-screen locating to pinpoint issues precisely, produce a clear report with video delivery, and review repair options with you.

Will your inspection require digging up my yard or driveway?

In most cases no. Our targeted locating and pinpointing methods avoid unnecessary excavation. We only recommend digging when the footage confirms a condition that cannot be repaired in place, and we’ll provide options to minimise disruption.

What technology do you use for large or long sewer runs?

For long or large-diameter lines we deploy robotic crawlers and heavy-duty reels with high-definition lenses. These tools maintain stable imaging and allow inspection across greater distances while providing accurate location data for repairs.

Do you provide records from the inspection?

Yes. We deliver a clear written report and the recorded footage so you can review the exact findings. This documentation is useful for insurance claims, municipal permits, or future maintenance planning.

Do you offer preventative maintenance or follow-up verification after repairs?

We do. Preventative maintenance plans reduce the risk of blockages and deterioration. After repairs we perform post-repair verification inspections to confirm the work succeeded and to document the line’s condition for your records.

How much does an inspection cost and do you offer flat-rate options?

We provide upfront pricing for inspection and related drain services to avoid surprises. Rates vary with line access and length. Call 604-670-3737 for a transparent quote and to learn about flat-rate packages that save time and money compared with open excavation.

When should I schedule an inspection?

Schedule an inspection for emergency blockages, repeated drainage problems, before buying property or renovating, and after any sewer repair to confirm success. Early diagnosis prevents larger failures and protects your home or business operations.

Which areas do you serve in Metro Vancouver?

We’re most active in North Vancouver and West Vancouver and serve Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and nearby communities. For 24/7 emergency plumbing and drainage support, contact Lord Mechanical LTD at 604-670-3737.
