If your home or business has persistent drainage issues—slow sinks, recurring clogs, foul odors, or unexplained backups—a quick fix won’t always solve the problem. Some issues lie deeper underground or inside the pipe walls, hidden from plain sight. That’s where video drain inspection comes in.
At Turner Plumbing, we use high-resolution, waterproof drain cameras to inspect the condition of your plumbing system from the inside. This technology allows us to locate cracks, root intrusions, blockages, and bellies in the line with precision—without unnecessary digging, demolition, or delays.
Recurring plumbing issues are frustrating and costly—not only because of the inconvenience but also because repeated repairs without diagnosis can stack up. Drain inspections provide a clear, factual view of what’s happening inside your sewer or drain line, so you can stop guessing and start addressing the root cause.
We often recommend drain camera inspections for:
Repeated backups in the same drain line
Sewer odors that linger or return
Unsuccessful or short-lived results from drain cleaning
Home buyers concerned about the condition of underground lines
Identifying pipe bellies, cracks, or root infiltration
You may be surprised to learn that tree roots are one of the top causes of drain issues in Florida homes. Over time, roots from nearby trees or shrubs can infiltrate your sewer line through even the smallest cracks or pipe joints. Once inside, they expand and trap debris—leading to slow drainage, backups, and damage.
Without a camera inspection, it’s possible to temporarily clear the clog without realizing the underlying root structure is still present—and still growing.
Other frequent culprits include:
Cracked or collapsed pipes
Misaligned joints
Foreign objects stuck in the line
Accumulated grease, soap, or paper buildup
Dips in the pipe (commonly known as “bellies”)
Real estate buyers or investors: Avoid surprise repairs after closing.
Property managers: Pinpoint persistent issues in rental units or commercial buildings.
Renovators and remodelers: Assess existing infrastructure before you build.
Insurance claim support: Provide evidence for damage claims or policy reviews.
Routine checkups: For older homes or properties with clay or cast-iron pipes.
If the drain is completely blocked, we may perform a standard electric drain cleaning to create a clear path for the camera.
We insert a professional-grade waterproof camera into your drain or sewer line via an accessible cleanout. The footage is transmitted in real time, so both you and our technician can see the issue unfold.
We use a digital locator above ground to pinpoint the exact location and depth of the problem area—saving time and eliminating unnecessary excavation.
We’ll provide visual confirmation of what’s happening inside your system. Whether it’s a root intrusion, a break, or something else, you’ll have answers in hand.
You’ll get a clear explanation of your options—whether the issue can be resolved with cleaning, or if repairs or replacements are necessary. We never upsell or overstate the problem.
We’ve been solving Jacksonville’s plumbing issues since 1942. That means we’re familiar with the types of pipe materials, soil conditions, and tree root patterns specific to this area.
Our technicians aren’t paid on commission. They’re there to identify and fix the problem—not to pressure you into unnecessary services.
If your inspection reveals a problem that needs repair, our team can handle it in-house—whether that’s replacing a section of pipe, clearing root intrusions, or sealing a crack. No additional contractors, no unnecessary handoffs.
We use inspection equipment and replacement parts that are manufactured in the USA, meeting stringent American plumbing standards for durability and reliability.
We operate on a time-and-materials basis. You pay only for the work performed and the parts used—unlike flat-rate companies that include hidden buffers in the price.
