Sewer Camera Inspection
Budget Heating and Plumbing operates a commercial-grade 300-foot sewer camera system with a built-in 512Hz locator to inspect your entire sewer line from your house to the city main. This is not a handheld consumer camera. This is serious professional equipment designed for accurate diagnosis, underground pipe location, and recorded proof of your line's condition. Every inspection is recorded so you have documentation, not guesses.

Do I need a sewer camera inspection before buying a home?
A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make when buying a home. Sewer line replacement can be extremely costly. A camera inspection reveals root intrusion, cracks, bellies, collapses, and other problems that are invisible from the surface. Many home buyers in the Lower Mainland now request sewer inspections as part of their due diligence.
What is a 512Hz locator and why does it matter?
A 512Hz locator is a transmitter built into the camera head that sends a signal through the ground to a handheld receiver on the surface. This allows us to mark the exact horizontal position and depth of your pipes and pinpoint where problems are located underground. Without a locator, a camera can show what is wrong but cannot tell you precisely where the problem is. This information is critical for planning repairs with minimal excavation.
How far can your camera reach?
Our commercial-grade camera system reaches up to 300 feet, which is enough to inspect the full length of most residential sewer lines from the house to the city main connection. Many companies use shorter cameras that cannot reach the full line.
Do you record the sewer camera inspection?
Yes, every inspection is recorded on video. You receive a copy of the recording along with our findings report. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and repair planning.
