Residential Video Sewer and Drain Inspection in Central Maryland

If we had X-ray vision, finding underground plumbing problems would be simple. Since we don’t, Alpha Plumbing utilizes state-of-the-art video sewer inspection cameras to see exactly what is happening inside your pipes. 

Alpha Plumbing has been helping homeowners since 1991, staying on the cutting edge of plumbing best practices for over 30 years. Our background-checked plumbers utilize today’s modern sewer inspection technology to pinpoint root intrusions, collapsed lines, and hidden blockages without digging up your yard unnecessarily. We treat your property with the same respect we’d want for our own, which is why our technicians wear boot covers and protect your floors before beginning any interior inspection.

Signs You Need a Video Sewer Inspection

Left untreated, a minor backup can escalate into a full blockage or even sewage intrusion into your home. We help you identify the “culprit” quickly to improve time to value and prevent costly damage.

• Frequent, recurring backups: If snaking only temporarily fixes your slow drains, there may be a deeper issue like a tree root intrusion or a bellied pipe.
• Soggy, foul-smelling yard patches: Unexplained wet spots or sewage odors in your lawn often point to a cracked or leaking underground main line.
• Buying an older home: Older properties in Central Maryland may have deteriorating cast iron or polybutylene piping, which can fail invisibly.
• Unexplained water issues: We use specialized cameras to determine the cause of mysterious water backups, including diagnosing complex storm water management piping issues.

How Our Video Sewer Camera Inspection Works

Our process is built on transparency and advanced technology to ensure you have all the facts before making a decision.

• High-resolution video: We insert a specialized, lighted camera probe directly into your drain line, providing a full-color, well-lit view of the pipe’s interior.
• Live narration & pinpoint locating: Our plumbers can narrate the inspection as it happens, allowing us to find the exact location and depth of the damage while you watch in real-time.
• Digital sharing & fast estimates: We can share the findings with you to provide an accurate, written estimate quickly so you don’t have to wait for answers.

The Alpha Plumbing Difference: Honesty & Preparation

We’ve built our reputation since 1991 on doing the job right and providing honest, no-pressure service.

• Seeing is believing: You get to see the video evidence yourself, no guesswork and no high-pressure sales tactics.
• Equipped for any fix: If the camera finds a collapsed pipe, there is no need to wait for rental equipment because we own and operate our own fleet of backhoes for fast excavation.
• 10-year warranty: Any sewer and water line replacements we perform are backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty on sewer & water work.

• “Joseph and Diego were wonderful! Spent a few hours with their camera and then snake to clean out my sewer line… The line is running clear! Highly recommend!” – Jean G.
