Plumbing problems underground can be hard to diagnose, especially when you can’t see what’s causing them. That’s where our sewer video camera inspections come in. We at John Padilla Plumbing use advanced camera technology to get a clear look inside your sewer lines, so we can give you real answers—fast. No digging, no guesswork, just precise insights from trained professionals.
This modern diagnostic method allows our plumbers to guide a waterproof camera through your sewer or drain lines to identify what’s going on. Whether it’s a blockage, tree root intrusion, pipe misalignment, or corrosion, our camera inspections provide the visual proof to back up our recommendations.
It’s a straightforward process. We insert the camera through a cleanout or access point, then record real-time footage as it travels through your pipes. You get to see what we see, so there are no mysteries—just answers.
In addition to sewer lines, our camera drain inspections in Carlsbad help locate blockages and buildup in interior drain systems. Using high-definition video cameras, we can pinpoint slow-draining areas or hidden obstructions without unnecessary demolition. This video camera inspection service in Carlsbad gives homeowners and property managers an accurate picture of their plumbing health before issues become emergencies.

Homes in Carlsbad experience a range of plumbing challenges due to aging infrastructure, shifting soil, and coastal conditions. A sewer camera inspection helps detect issues early, often before they turn into expensive emergencies. It's a smart step if:
Our local Carlsbad team knows what to look for and how to interpret the footage accurately. We don't just drop off a report—we walk you through it.
Beyond sewer systems, many Carlsbad residents also request video camera inspections for kitchen or bathroom drains that clog repeatedly. These inspections allow us to see deep inside your drain lines and recommend long-term solutions instead of short-term fixes. Whether it’s sand, scale buildup, or small root intrusions, a camera drain inspection in Carlsbad identifies the root cause efficiently.
Our plumbing experts use the latest video camera inspection equipment to ensure accurate diagnostics every time. These cameras provide real-time footage and can navigate tight pipe bends and long drain lines with ease. For Carlsbad homeowners, that means faster solutions and fewer disruptions to your yard or flooring.
Whether you’re dealing with a recurring clog or planning preventive maintenance, our drain camera inspection services in Carlsbad help you make informed decisions about your plumbing system.
One of the things our customers appreciate most is how we explain everything clearly. After the inspection, we review the video footage with you and break down the condition of your sewer line. If repairs are needed, we’ll lay out your options. If things look good, we’ll tell you that too.
No upselling. No panic. Just straight talk from experienced plumbers who treat your home like their own.
Not all sewer inspections are created equal. Some companies rush through the process or fail to explain their findings. Our team is trained in both the technology and the customer service side of things.
