See Clearly. Fix Confidently.
A push camera inspection is the gold standard in drain diagnostics. At Trans Canada Drain, we use state-of-the-art HD video camera equipment to look inside your drain and sewer lines—without digging. Whether you’re experiencing recurring clogs, slow drainage, or buying a new home, our inspections help detect invisible problems like root intrusions, collapsed sections, cracks, or improper slope. We interpret the footage in real-time, explain the issues clearly, and recommend the best course of action.
It’s fast, non-invasive, and essential for homeowners who want to avoid costly surprises. Every inspection is carried out by licensed plumbers who know exactly what to look for.
Why Drain Camera Inspections Matter.
Most serious drain issues start small—and out of sight. By the time a backup floods your basement or roots collapse your sewer line, the damage is done. A video inspection offers homeowners a clear, upfront diagnosis before things get worse. It’s also the best way to verify cleaning success or confirm the condition of plumbing in an older home.
This service saves time, money, and stress by replacing guesswork with precise data. It's a must before any major drain repair or property purchase.
