Service Overview
Sewer and Drain Camera Inspection Backed by 65+ Years of Local Experience
Recurring drain clogs, slow drains, sewer odors, or unexplained wet spots in your yard can all point to a problem deep inside your pipes — but you can't fix what you can't see. Digging up your yard or tearing into walls used to be the only way to find out. Today, a video pipe inspection lets us see exactly what's going on inside your sewer line or drain pipes without any unnecessary digging or disruption.
Lapin Services has been diagnosing and solving Central Florida plumbing problems since 1958. Our video pipe inspection service uses high-resolution camera equipment to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, and buildup anywhere in your drain or sewer system. We show you what we find, explain your options clearly, and give you the information you need to make the right decision — whether that's a simple cleaning or a more involved repair.
Problems We Solve
Common Sewer and Drain Camera Inspection Problems We Fix
Here are the issues our team commonly finds and resolves during sewer and drain camera inspection calls across Central Florida.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots naturally grow toward moisture and can work their way into small cracks in sewer lines over time. Once inside, they expand and eventually cause major blockages — or collapse the pipe entirely.
Grease and Scale Buildup
Years of grease, soap, and mineral deposits can narrow the inside of a pipe to a fraction of its original diameter, causing slow drains and repeated clogs that won't respond to standard clearing.
Cracked or Collapsed Pipe Sections
Older clay or cast-iron pipes can crack, separate at joints, or collapse — especially in Central Florida's shifting soil. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact location so repairs can be targeted, not guesswork.
Off-Grade or Sagging Pipe
A pipe that has shifted and lost its proper slope holds standing water and debris instead of draining cleanly. This leads to chronic blockages and accelerated buildup over time.
Blocked or Deteriorating Sewer Line
Flushed wipes, heavy debris, or a deteriorating main sewer line can cause whole-house drainage backup. Camera inspection identifies exactly where the problem is and how serious it is before any work begins.
When to Call
Signs Your Plumbing System Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule sewer and drain camera inspection before the problem becomes more disruptive or expensive.
Multiple Drains Backing Up
When more than one drain in your home is slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is usually in the main sewer line — not the individual fixtures. Camera inspection confirms the location and cause.
Gurgling Sounds From Drains
Gurgling noises after flushing or draining indicate trapped air in the pipes — a common sign of a partial blockage or venting problem somewhere in the system.
Sewer Odors in Your Home
If you smell sewage inside your home or near floor drains, it could mean a cracked pipe, a failed trap, or a blockage allowing sewer gas to back up into your living space.
Wet Patches or Sinkholes in Yard
Unexplained soggy areas, lush green patches, or soft spots in your yard can indicate a leaking sewer line underground. Camera inspection locates the break precisely before any digging begins.
Buying or Selling a Home
A sewer scope inspection is one of the smartest things a buyer can do before closing — sewer line repairs can cost thousands, and problems aren't visible during a standard home inspection.

FAQs
Sewer and Drain Camera Inspection FAQs
How long does a video pipe inspection take?
Most inspections take one to two hours depending on how many lines are being inspected and what’s found. We’ll give you an honest time estimate before we start.
Will you need to dig up my yard to do the inspection?
No — that’s the point. The camera is inserted through an existing cleanout or drain opening, so there’s no digging and no disruption to your property during the inspection itself.
Can I see the footage from the inspection?
Yes. Your technician shows you the live feed as the camera moves through the pipe and explains what you’re seeing. We can also provide a recording of the inspection.
What happens after you find the problem?
We’ll explain exactly what we found, where it is, and what your options are — from a simple hydro-jetting clean to a targeted sewer line repair. You decide how you want to proceed with no pressure.
Is a camera inspection worth it before buying a home?
Absolutely. Sewer line repairs can cost $3,000–$10,000 or more, and they won’t show up in a standard home inspection. A pre-purchase sewer scope can save you from a very expensive surprise after closing.
What types of pipes can you inspect with the camera?
We can inspect most residential and commercial pipe materials — including PVC, cast iron, clay, and ABS — in drain lines, sewer mains, and secondary branch lines.
Can a camera inspection find a leak?
Camera inspection is excellent for identifying cracks, separations at joints, and collapsed sections where leaks can occur. For precise leak location, we may combine camera inspection with other diagnostic methods.
How much does a video pipe inspection cost in Orlando?
The cost depends on the number and length of lines being inspected. We provide upfront pricing before we begin, so you’ll know exactly what to expect — call us for a quote.
