Professional Video Camera Line Inspections by S&K Drain Cleaning
See What’s Hiding in Your Pipes Before It Becomes a Major Problem
When it comes to plumbing problems, the hardest part isn’t always fixing the issue — it’s finding out where the problem is in the first place. Traditional methods used to require digging, cutting into walls, or making educated guesses based on symptoms. But thanks to modern technology, there’s a better way.
At S&K Drain Cleaning, we use video camera line inspections to get a clear, accurate look inside your pipes without any unnecessary mess or guesswork. This advanced diagnostic tool helps us identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other plumbing issues quickly and precisely — saving you time, money, and stress.
We proudly serve Jefferson, Ashtabula County, Youngstown, and surrounding Northeast Ohio communities, providing honest, professional service backed by state-of-the-art technology.
What Is a Video Camera Line Inspection?
A video camera line inspection (also called a sewer camera inspection or drain camera inspection) is a modern plumbing diagnostic method that allows us to visually inspect the inside of your pipes and sewer lines.
Using a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable, our technicians feed the camera directly into your plumbing system. The live video feed is displayed on a monitor, allowing us to see exactly what’s going on — in real time.
This process allows us to locate issues such as:
- Tree root intrusion
- Grease buildup and blockages
- Cracked or collapsed pipes
- Offset or misaligned joints
- Corrosion and pipe deterioration
- Foreign objects stuck in the line
- Bellied or sagging sewer lines
Once we identify the issue, we can recommend the most effective repair or cleaning solution — with no unnecessary digging or property damage.
Why Video Camera Inspections Are a Game-Changer
In the past, diagnosing plumbing problems often meant guessing where the clog or break might be. That guesswork could lead to unnecessary excavation, wasted time, and higher repair costs.
Video camera line inspections have completely changed that. Here’s why they’re one of the most valuable tools in modern plumbing:
1. Accurate Diagnosis
With a live video feed, our technicians can see the exact cause and location of the issue. This eliminates the need for trial and error and ensures that we fix the right problem the first time.
2. Non-Invasive Inspection
There’s no need to tear up your yard, floors, or walls just to find a blockage. The camera does all the exploring for us — safely and efficiently.
3. Cost Savings
By pinpointing problems accurately, you avoid unnecessary repairs and save on labor costs. Preventive inspections can also help catch minor issues before they turn into expensive emergencies.
4. Prevent Future Problems
A video camera inspection can reveal early signs of wear and tear, corrosion, or minor leaks before they escalate. This allows for proactive maintenance instead of costly emergency repairs.
5. Great for Homebuyers and Property Managers
If you’re buying a new home or managing a commercial property, a sewer camera inspection can provide peace of mind. It ensures your plumbing system is in good shape and helps you avoid unpleasant surprises after closing.

After the inspection, we’ll review the footage with you and explain what we found. If repairs or cleaning are needed, we’ll provide honest, transparent recommendations and upfront pricing. - Repair or Maintenance Options:
Depending on the problem, we may recommend hydro jetting, drain cleaning, pipe repair, or replacement. Whatever the case, you can count on our team to deliver professional, lasting results.
Common Problems Found During Sewer Camera Inspections
Video camera inspections often uncover hidden issues that would otherwise go unnoticed until they cause major damage. Some of the most common problems we find include:
- Tree Roots: Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can break into sewer lines through small cracks or joints, causing severe blockages.
- Broken or Collapsed Pipes: Older clay or cast iron pipes can deteriorate over time, leading to breaks, leaks, or collapses.
- Grease and Debris Buildup: Over time, grease, soap, and debris can build up inside your drains, restricting flow and causing backups.
- Misaligned or Offset Pipes: Shifting soil or poor installation can cause sections of pipe to move, creating offsets where debris collects.
- Corrosion: Metal pipes can rust and weaken, eventually leading to leaks and structural failure.
Identifying these problems early allows for targeted, cost-effective repairs instead of emergency excavation.
