Inspection Process
The Benefits of a Camera Inspection with Monsieur Drain
A camera drain inspection generally involves three steps:
1
Accessing the pipe
Our technician determines the most suitable access point to insert the camera into the drain or pipe.
2
Internal inspection
A specialized camera is moved through the pipe to examine its condition and locate blockages, cracks, roots, or other anomalies.
3
Diagnosis and recommendations
Once the problem is identified, our team explains the findings and recommends the most appropriate solution, such as unblocking, cleaning, or repair.
How much does a camera drain inspection cost?
The cost of a camera drain inspection depends on several factors, including the length and accessibility of the pipe, the number of drains to be inspected, the complexity of the issue, and the type of property.
A targeted inspection may be faster than a comprehensive check of multiple pipes. To get an estimate tailored to your situation, contact Monsieur Drain and describe the symptoms you have observed.
