Is a drain camera the right next step?

A drain camera fits when cleaning has not held and you want to know why before you pay for more work.

  • One drain clogs again after a cleaning.
  • A drain is slow and nothing you have tried helps.
  • You are planning a remodel and want to see how the drains run before anyone cuts into a wall or floor.
  • A recommendation has been made and you want to see the problem before you agree to it.

These guys are great! I run a plumbing company but don’t do drains. I often sub contract them to service my customers sewer lines. They don’t only make me happy, but they keep my customers happy and that’s what matters to me most. Thanks guys!

Amazing experience! They are knowledgeable, kind, courteous and very thorough. Our clogged kitchen pipe was a bit of a challenge but they kept going and did everything they could to get it unclogged and they did it! They were very upfront with what caused the clog, gave us video recording of our pipes so we can see exactly what was done, double checked to make sure the pipes were clean and free of clogs and gave us steps on how to maintain the pipes moving forward. Highly recommend!!

Alex was very good to work with. They were professional and punctual, working around my schedule. They were able to show me exactly before and after, even showing footage inside my pipes, which I have never seen before. I would recommend them.

What the footage shows, and what happens next

For the part of the line the camera can reach, the footage shows what is going on inside the pipe before you pay for a fix. In a branch drain, these are the findings we see most.

What the footage showsUsual next step
Grease, soap, or hair buildup. A coating or clump that narrows the pipe.Usual next stepDrain Cleaning or Drain Jetting clears it. You see what is building up, so a repeat cleaning schedule is a choice and not a guess.
A stuck object. Something solid lodged in the line.Usual next stepIt is removed, and the camera confirms the line is open.
Roots. Strands entering through a joint or crack.Usual next stepJetting clears them, but roots show where the pipe is open. See Broken Drain Line Diagnosis.
A sag or offset joint. A low spot, or two sections that no longer line up.Usual next stepCleaning brings relief for a while. A repair is what corrects it.
A clear branch line. No visible problem in the part of the line the camera reached.Usual next stepWe may need to check the fixture, the main line, or another part of the system. You avoid paying for work the footage does not support.

If the inspection shows more than a cleaning problem, we explain the next step.

  • The trouble is in the main sewer line or the pipe outside. We follow it with a Sewer Camera Inspection. If it needs repair, you do not have to start over with another contractor. Our crew can quote the repair and do the work, from digging to the pipe through pouring and finishing the concrete afterward. See Sewer Repair & Replacement. Pipe that may qualify for lining or bursting is arranged through a licensed partner after our inspection. See Trenchless Sewer Repair.
  • There is no cleanout outside your home, or you cannot reach it. We can install a cleanout on the outside of the home, so the line can be cleaned and scoped easily from then on. See Cleanout Installation.
  • Grease keeps coming back in a restaurant, shop, or multifamily building. Ask about a repeat cleaning schedule. See Commercial Drain Services.
  • The damage is inside a wall or under the floor. That is plumbing work. We show you the footage and where the problem sits, so you can hand it to a licensed plumber with the facts in hand.

If you move forward with a qualifying larger job with us, we credit your inspection charge toward that work. The credit terms are stated on your written estimate.

The limits. The camera shows only the pipe it can reach. A full blockage can stop it, and when that happens we tell you where it stopped and why.

How a drain camera inspection works, and what you get

  1. Call or text. Tell us which drain, what you have already tried, and where your cleanout is, if you know. Past footage or a report from another company helps.
  2. You approve a written price for the inspection before the camera goes in.
  3. We feed the camera through a cleanout or another accessible opening and watch the footage as it runs. If a blockage stops it, we can clear the line with a cable or hydro jetting, with your approval, and run the camera again.
  4. We show you the footage, explain what it shows, and lay out your options.
  5. Any work beyond the inspection gets its own written price. Nothing starts until you approve it.

What you get: the footage and our findings explained, and clear options. A copy of the recording is available for an additional fee, quoted before the inspection. It is useful for comparing quotes, sending to a landlord or property manager, or keeping as a baseline. If you are booking mainly for the recording, tell us when you call.

What it costs

The inspection. Pricing is job-based. The main drivers are how easy it is to get the camera in (a cleanout, or none), how far and how twisty the line runs, whether the line has to be cleared before the camera can pass, and how many lines you want inspected. Call or text 385-888-7459 for the price on your drain, or read our guide to what a sewer camera inspection costs. More guides are in our blog library.

Additional work is priced separately. If the footage points to cleaning, repair, or a new cleanout, that work gets its own written price.

Hours. We are open 24/7. After-hours calls carry an emergency charge of 15% to 35%, shown as a separate line item.

Quick Answers About Drain Camera Inspection

What does a drain camera inspection find?

A drain camera inspection shows what is inside the line: grease or soap buildup, a stuck object, roots, a sag, or a cracked or separated pipe. Mountain West runs cameras up to 200 feet, including a self-leveling model, through sink, tub, shower, laundry, and floor drains in Northern Utah, and shows you the footage of the part of the line it can reach.

When should I book a drain camera inspection instead of another cleaning?

Book one when the same drain clogs again after cleaning, when a drain stays slow after everything you have tried, or when you want to see what is in the line before paying for more work. Mountain West uses the footage to explain whether the next step is cleaning, a repair, or checking another part of the system.

Do I get the video from a drain camera inspection?

You see the footage as it runs, and we explain what it shows. A copy of the recording is available for an additional fee, quoted before the inspection, so tell Mountain West when you book if you want one to share with a landlord, property manager, or another contractor.

How much does a drain camera inspection cost?

A drain camera inspection is priced by the job, based on access, how far the line runs, and whether it must be cleared first. Call or text 385-888-7459 for the price on your drain. You approve a written price before the camera goes in. If you move forward with a qualifying larger job with Mountain West, we credit your inspection charge toward that work. After-hours calls carry a 15% to 35% emergency charge shown as its own line.
