Cordless drain snake for clearing small to medium clogs before or after camera inspection. Used with various auger heads.
High-pressure water jetting equipment to scour pipe walls and remove grease, roots, and scale. Often used after camera inspection to clean the line.
Electronic locator to pinpoint the camera's position and depth from the surface. Helps mark the exact location of defects for repair.

How Sewer Camera Inspection Works in Schertz
Schertz sits on clay-heavy soil that shifts with wet and dry cycles. That movement cracks older cast iron and clay tile pipes, and it opens joints where roots can enter.
Schertz Heights
Older homes with cast iron sewer lines. Root intrusion is common due to mature trees. Camera inspection often reveals joint separation.
Cibolo Valley Ranch
Newer construction with PVC pipe. We check for proper slope and joint connections. Bellies can occur if backfill was not compacted properly.
Universal City
Mix of 1960s and 1970s homes with clay tile and cast iron. These pipes are prone to cracking and root intrusion. Camera inspection is essential before buying.

PhotoRoot Intrusion Cleared in Schertz
Before: A homeowner in Schertz had recurring backups in the laundry room. Snaking provided temporary relief. We ran a camera and found a root mass 22 feet out in the main line.
After: We hydro jetted the line to remove the roots, then ran the camera again to confirm the pipe was clean. The homeowner has not had a backup in six months. We recommended annual maintenance.
Cracked Pipe Found Before Purchase
Before: A buyer was under contract for a home in Universal City. Our camera inspection revealed a cracked cast iron pipe under the slab. The seller was unaware of the issue.
After: We provided a written report with video. We later replaced the damaged section with PVC pipe. The buyer closed with confidence.
Commercial Line Restored in Cibolo
Before: A restaurant in Cibolo had slow drains in the kitchen. Grease buildup was suspected. Our camera inspection showed a heavy grease clog and a partial collapse 40 feet out.
After: We hydro jetted the line to remove the grease, then repaired the collapsed section. The restaurant was back to full operation the next day. We provided a report for their records.
Problems Solved by Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera inspection solves the mystery of recurring backups, slow drains, and unexplained odors.
Recurring sewer backups
Repeated backups can damage your floors, walls, and belongings. They also indicate a persistent blockage that snaking alone will not fix.
Slow drains throughout the house
Multiple slow drains usually mean a main line blockage. Ignoring it can lead to a full backup and emergency plumbing bills.
Sewer odors inside or outside
Odors can indicate a break in the sewer line or a dry trap. They are unpleasant and can be a health hazard.
Buying a home with unknown sewer condition
A failed sewer line can cost thousands to replace. Without an inspection, you may inherit a major problem.
Why Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera inspection turns a mystery into a map. You see the problem, we explain the fix, and you decide with facts instead of guesses.
Pinpoint the Blockage
Instead of snaking blindly, we mark the exact distance and depth of the clog on the camera reel.
Avoid Emergency Repairs
