Here is what two customers shared about their experience with Sterling Plumbing & Gas:

While here, he spotted another crack in our sewer pipe, pointed it out and then asked if we would like it repaired as well. Highly recommended for any plumbing problems.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Camera Inspections in Calgary

What is a sewer camera inspection?

A sewer camera inspection is when we send a high-resolution waterproof camera into your sewer line to see exactly what is happening inside the pipe. The live video shows blockages, roots, cracks, standing water, and any structural damage. You get a clear view, not guesswork, and we explain the footage so you know the true cause of the problem.

No. A sewer scope is fully non-invasive. We use an existing cleanout, floor drain, or access point to send the camera into the line. This means no yard damage, no concrete breaking, and no unnecessary excavation just to diagnose the issue.

Yes. Camera inspections show root intrusion clearly, including how deep the roots have grown and where they entered the pipe. This helps determine whether you need a simple cleaning, a spot repair, or a full replacement if the pipe has collapsed.

After the inspection, we review the footage with you and explain whether the pipe is blocked, cracked, misaligned, or collapsed. Minor issues may only require cleaning. Structural issues may require repair or replacement. You see exactly what we see on video, so the recommendation is always transparent.

Absolutely. Many older Calgary homes have aging sewer lines with roots, cracks, or sagging sections that are not visible during a standard home inspection. A sewer camera inspection helps you avoid unexpected sewer replacement costs after you move in.

Chemical cleaners can temporarily clear small clogs, but they cannot fix deeper sewer line issues like roots, collapsed pipes, or misaligned sections. In many cases, they actually damage older Calgary drain lines. A sewer camera inspection gives a clear diagnosis and prevents unnecessary repairs.
