Camera Inspections & Diagnostics

Many plumbing and sewer problems occur underground or inside pipes where they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Guessing at the cause of a plumbing issue can lead to unnecessary repairs, wasted time, and higher costs. Professional camera inspections allow technicians to see exactly what is happening inside your plumbing system, providing accurate diagnostics and helping identify the most effective solution.

Mastercraft Mechanical & Plumbing provides advanced camera inspection and diagnostic services throughout Central Pennsylvania for residential and commercial properties. Using high-definition sewer cameras and diagnostic equipment, our team can inspect sewer lines, drain lines, underground plumbing systems, and other hard-to-reach areas without unnecessary excavation or property damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sewer camera inspection?

A sewer camera inspection uses a waterproof high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable that travels through sewer and drain pipes, allowing technicians to view the inside of the plumbing system in real time.

Can a camera inspection find tree roots?

Yes. Camera inspections are one of the most effective ways to identify root intrusion and determine the extent of the damage.

Will a camera inspection locate a broken pipe?

Yes. Cracks, collapses, pipe separations, corrosion, and other forms of damage can often be clearly identified during the inspection.

Is excavation required for a camera inspection?

No. In most cases, the camera can be inserted through an existing cleanout or plumbing access point without excavation.

Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home?

Yes. A sewer camera inspection can uncover costly underground plumbing problems that may not be visible during a standard home inspection.

Can a camera inspection determine if a sewer line needs replacement?

Yes. The inspection provides valuable information about pipe condition, helping determine whether repair, cleaning, or replacement is the most appropriate solution.
