Advanced Camera Inspection Technology
Our Master Plumbers' extensive experience in the plumbing industry means you can trust our work is done correctly. Our state-of-the-art camera inspection equipment provides real-time video of your sewer lines, allowing us to diagnose issues accurately without destructive digging.
What We Can Identify:
- Root Intrusions: Tree roots seeking moisture can penetrate sewer lines, causing blockages and pipe damage
- Pipe Cracks & Breaks: Aging pipes, ground settling, or pressure can cause structural damage
- Blockages & Buildup: Grease, debris, foreign objects restricting or stopping flow
- Corrosion: Metal pipes corrode over time, reducing flow capacity and structural integrity
- Bellied Pipes: Sections that have sunk, creating areas where water and waste collect
- Offset Joints: Pipes that have separated or shifted, creating gaps and potential leaks
The Process: We insert a flexible waterproof camera through your cleanout or drain opening. The camera transmits real-time video showing the exact location and nature of any problems. We can even provide video footage for your records.
This non-invasive approach means we diagnose accurately before recommending solutions—no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation, no inflated costs.

Sewer & Drain Cleaning FAQs
How much does sewer camera inspection cost in San Antonio?
Camera inspection costs vary based on accessibility and scope. At 210 Plumber, we offer phone quotes for most services. Call us at 210-758-6237 for transparent pricing. Camera inspections often save thousands by identifying the real problem before unnecessary excavation.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months. Homes with large families, older plumbing, or frequent clogs may need annual service. Our master plumbers can assess your system and recommend a tailored maintenance schedule.
What are signs I need sewer line service?
Warning signs include: multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds in plumbing, foul sewage odors, water backing up in toilets or drains, unusually lush patches in your yard, or sewage in your basement. If you notice any of these symptoms, call us immediately for camera inspection.
Do I really need a sewer line replacement?
Not necessarily! Many companies recommend expensive sewer line replacement when professional drain cleaning would solve the problem. Our camera inspections show exactly what's wrong. If you've been told you need tunnel work or sewer line replacement, get a second opinion from us—you may just need a drain cleaning machine, saving you thousands of dollars.
Can tree roots damage my sewer line?
Yes! Tree roots are attracted to moisture in sewer lines and can infiltrate through tiny cracks. Once inside, roots grow rapidly, causing major blockages and pipe damage. San Antonio's mature trees make this a common issue. Camera inspections identify root intrusion early, and we can often clear roots with professional equipment before they cause pipe failure.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Chemical drain cleaners may provide temporary relief, but they often damage pipes over time—especially older systems. They're also ineffective against major blockages and can create dangerous conditions when combined with standing water. Professional mechanical cleaning or hydro jetting is safer, more effective, and better for your plumbing system's long-term health.
