Camera Inspection & Pipe Location
Advanced Camera Drain Inspection Technology
Top Dog Sewer & Drain uses advanced video camera technology to inspect hidden drain and sewer lines without unnecessary digging or guesswork. Our team has multiple camera systems designed to inspect pipes made from different materials and ranging in size from approximately 1.25 inches to 12 inches. The high-resolution camera travels through the drain line and provides a clear, real-time view of the pipe’s interior. We can also record the inspection footage for later reference, helping property owners clearly understand the condition of their drainage system and the source of the problem.

Drain Blocked? Sewer Backing Up?
Accurate Diagnosis of Hidden Pipe Problems
Some drainage problems involve more than an ordinary clog. Pipes may be cracked, broken, misaligned, heavily deteriorated, incorrectly installed, or affected by tree root intrusion. A camera inspection allows our technicians to identify these hidden issues and determine why a drain continues to back up or flow slowly. It can also reveal improper pipe pitch, heavy buildup, damaged joints, and other conditions that may not be visible from the surface. Once the problem has been identified, we provide clear recommendations and explain whether the line needs cleaning, maintenance, or professional repair.

Yes. After locating the problem inside the pipe, sound-location technology can identify its position underground. This helps reduce unnecessary excavation and allows repairs to be planned more accurately.
You should consider an inspection if you have recurring clogs, slow drains, sewer backups, unexplained odors, or are planning a renovation or property purchase. It can also help locate hidden drain lines or valuable items lost down a drain.
Precise Pipe Locating That Helps Avoid Unnecessary Excavation
After identifying a problem inside an underground or concealed pipe, our technicians can use sound-location technology to determine its exact position. The locator helps us identify where the damaged section, blockage, or lost item is located without excavating a large area. This accurate information can reduce unnecessary disruption and potentially save property owners thousands of dollars in excavation costs. Pipe locating is also useful when adding a bathroom, installing a new fixture, planning renovations, or determining the route of an existing drain line within a residential or commercial property.
