PLUMBING & DRAIN SERVICES IN BARRIE
When you have a drain or sewer issue, it can be hard to pinpoint what’s wrong since it’s all inside the pipe.
You could be experiencing slow drains. Multiple fixtures could be slow. Or your sewer line was jetted and you continue to have the problem.
Well, by using a sewer camera we can see what’s happening inside your line.
Sureflow Plumbing & Drain offers sewer camera inspections to homes and businesses in Barrie. We can view accessible drain and sewer lines to check for obstructions, tree roots, broken lines and more.
When doing a sewer camera inspection, we are able to see things that we would not be able to see with the naked eye.
We use a small camera that is attached to a flexible cord and feed it into an accessible drain or sewer line.
While feeding the camera down the line, we can observe what is on the video screen and detect if anything may be obstructing the waste from passing through.
We can identify:
Once we have completed our sewer camera inspection, we will have a better idea of what may need to be done to resolve your drain or plumbing problem.
Often the reason we have someone come out to check their sewer line is because they have had a drain clog.
They have it snaked out and it’s back to normal.
Only to find out a week or month down the road their drain is starting to slow.
It may end up clogging once again.
There could be something left in the line. It could be tree roots invading your pipe. Maybe even a broken area in the line causing things to get caught on it.
If you are having someone come out to snake your line time after time, it may be worth getting it checked out to see what’s going on inside the line.
If you have a drain that is draining slowly, it could be an issue close to that sink.
If many drains throughout your home begin to slow down, you may have an issue further down the line.
Some of these could include:
If multiple drains are having this issue, you may need to check the main drain or sewer line.
We can use our sewer camera to check further.
This is another one we recommend checking out if this has happened to you.
Once you have the clog removed from where your sewage came up from, you may want to check out your sewer line.
Something could be blocking your line.
Maybe tree roots have gotten into your sewer line.
A section of your pipe could be broken.
Or it may just be a clog that needs to be cleared.
Our sewer camera inspections can show you what may be inside your line.
One cause of sewer line problems can be tree roots.
As stated above, they grow towards water.
When a sewer line has a crack, loose fitting or some sort of opening, roots can grow into your line.
After they have grown into your line, they can continue to grow.
Material such as waste and toilet paper can collect around these roots, which can decrease the open space inside your sewer line.
If your property in Barrie has large trees that have been established for some time and you continue to have issues with your sewer line, a sewer camera can help identify if tree roots are the problem.
Yes, it can. If we are able to access the sewer line with a camera, we can see many visible problems.
Such as:
A sewer camera will only show what we can see inside the pipe.
Some cases will require more information to be gathered on what may be going on outside the line or how bad the damage may be.
But a sewer camera can give us some insight into what we may be dealing with.
You may need to clean your sewer line before you can run a sewer camera down the line.
If your line is plugged up with water and material, we may not be able to go very far.
Once we have cleared your line of the blockage, we may be able to use a sewer camera to identify what may have caused the clog.
Which is helpful if you are getting your drains clogged frequently.
It could just be buildup on your pipes.
Or it could be tree roots or a broken pipe causing the issue.
A sewer camera can help us identify what we are dealing with.
As stated before, hydro-jetting is able to clear certain obstructions within your drain or sewer line using high-pressure water.
It can be beneficial for some blockages.
It’s not always necessary that your drain line requires hydro-jetting.
It depends on the condition of your sewer line and what is causing the problem.
If your sewer line may be old or there is some concern, we can perform a sewer camera inspection to see what is going on inside your line.
After that, we will have a better idea of what may be best to use to clean your drain.
As mentioned above, older homes may have drainage systems that have been in place for quite some time.
There may not be any issues with your sewer line.
However, if you live in an older property and start having clogged drains or sewage backups, it may be helpful to see what’s going on inside your sewer line.
We may find:
This can allow us to see if there is something that can be cleaned or maybe a portion of your sewer line needs to be addressed.
Everyone knows to have their home inspected when buying a house.
Having your sewer line looked at can also be beneficial, especially if the home is older or has had problems in the past.
When doing a typical home inspection, you won’t be able to see inside your sewer line.
A sewer camera can give you more information on the condition of your sewer line, as far as we can access, before you buy your home.
Not saying that you don’t need a normal home inspection, but it can give you more knowledge about your sewer line.
There are many reasons you may want to have your sewer line camera inspected.
We can help diagnose drainage issues involving:
If you have a single drain that is backing up or you are experiencing multiple issues, we can use a camera to see what’s going on inside your drain.
Drain issues can affect employees, customers and tenants as well as cause issues with running your business.
If you are constantly dealing with a sewer or drain issue at your business, you may want to dig deeper than just cleaning the line.
We offer sewer and drain camera inspections at commercial locations in Barrie.

Having your line camera inspected will allow us to see what’s going on inside your line. This can help us better assist you if the issue continues to happen.
While they go hand in hand, there is a difference between the two.
Drain cleaning is when we clean out your drain.
Camera inspections allow us to look inside your drain.
You may only need one or the other, or both.
If your drain is backed up, we may need to clean it out first and then run the camera to see if there is anything causing the issue.
As mentioned above, there are things that a sewer camera will not be able to show.
We can only show you what is visible on the inside of your line.
If there is standing water, heavy debris or your line is blocked, the camera may not be able to pass through.
There could be something going on around your pipe as well that may not be identified by looking from the inside.
Always take these factors into consideration when looking at the results from your camera inspection.
Depending on what is found during your inspection, there are many options that we can offer.
We may recommend additional cleaning if your line is found to have buildup or debris.
Tree roots can also be seen during your sewer camera inspection. We can let you know what options may be available to remove the roots and if there may be an opening in your line.
We can identify visible damage to your pipes and make recommendations.
Your camera inspection could also show that your line is in good shape!
The camera allows us to get more information on what may be going on inside your line.
