The basics

Diagnosis before demolition

A video pipe inspection sends a waterproof camera on a flexible cable through your sewer, septic, or drain line while we watch the feed in real time. Instead of guessing, or digging up your yard to find out, we see cracks, root intrusion, bellies, grease, and blockages exactly where they are. That turns a mystery into a clear plan, and it is why we camera the line before recommending drain cleaning, sewer repair, or trenchless work.

How it works

How a camera inspection works

A few minutes with a camera can save you thousands in unnecessary digging.

1

Insert the camera

We feed a waterproof camera on a flexible cable into the line through a cleanout or drain.

2

Watch it live

We view the pipe interior in real time, spotting cracks, roots, bellies, and blockages.

3

Locate & mark

We pinpoint the exact depth and spot of the problem so any repair is precise.

4

Explain your options

We show you what we found and lay out the honest fix, no scare tactics, no guesswork.

When to scope it

When you need a camera inspection

A camera inspection is cheap insurance against guessing wrong on an expensive repair.

Recurring or multiple backups

If clogs keep returning, a camera finds the real cause instead of repeating temporary fixes.

Before you buy a home

A sewer scope reveals the line’s condition before closing, so you are not stuck with a hidden repair.

Before any sewer repair

Scoping first means we fix the actual problem in the right spot, not dig up the whole yard.

Slow drains with no clear cause

When the source is a mystery, a camera shows exactly what is happening inside the pipe.

Old home or old pipe material

Clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg lines should be inspected before they fail completely.

After a backup or flood

A post-event inspection confirms whether the line was damaged and what needs attention.

Want to see what's really going on in the line?

What the camera finds

The usual suspects

Most line problems come down to a few culprits, and the camera shows us exactly which one.

miscellaneous 443 final

Roots

Tree roots growing into joints and cracks, the number one cause of sewer line failure.

Artboard 86

Cracks & Breaks

Cracked, offset, or collapsed pipe sections that leak and trap waste.

Bellies & Blockages

Sagging low spots and grease or debris buildup that cause repeated clogs.

Smart for Maryland homes

Why this matters here

Many homes across Clarksburg, Damascus, and Montgomery County have decades-old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg sewer pipe surrounded by mature trees. A camera inspection is the cheapest way to know the real condition, before you buy a home, before a repair, or the moment backups start.

  • Scope before buying any home with older plumbing
  • Inspect before agreeing to any major sewer repair
  • Catch root intrusion early, before it collapses the line
  • Verify the fix worked with a follow-up scope
Found a problem?

We can fix it too

If the camera finds a break or blockage, we handle the repair, from drain cleaning to trenchless sewer replacement, all with one trusted crew.

Highly recommend John Brown from Clarksburg Plumbing LLC! Yesterday John flushed and descaled our tankless water heater. We've gotten used to waiting and waiting for service people. That's not the case with John. He arrived pleasantly early for both the initial visit (for a no-cost estimate) and for the actual service call. He was personable, knowledgeable, and very patient with our many questions. He really helped us understand the ins and outs of this new-to-us technology of tankless water heaters. We're already recommending him to our neighbors!

I recently used Clarksburg Plumbing for a condo repair of my main water turnoff valve and my outside hose bib. It required coordination with DC Water and the condo, and Clarksburg was extremely helpful, professional, and patient in the process. They came out a few times to evaluate and troubleshoot the issues, and then ultimately performed/made the repairs. Garrett and John Brown were the first to help, both very kind, knowledgable and highly skilled, and then Pablo (along with apprentice Tevon) made the final repairs. Not only did they do a great job, explaining everything to me in the process and checking after the water was restored to the condo, they also helped out one of the other owners that was having a sudden, luckily minor issue, as well. It’s a relief to know that I finally have a plumbing company that I can rely on for any future issues.

We had a fire at our house 3-Jul-2025. Our contractor used Clarksburg Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs as we rebuilt our house. Pablo was with us from the beginning until all work on the house was completed a year later. Pablo was the lead plumber from Clarksburg Plumbing. He worked on the plumbing rough-in in December through February this past winter in bitter cold through the end of July 2026 when work was finally completed. Pablo quietly does his work. It’s clear that he is very skilled but he is not arrogant in any way. Rather, he is very engaging, takes suggestions under consideration and employs them as warranted, and is always kind even when I interrupt his work. Pablo represents Clarksburg Plumbing very well. It was my pleasure working with Pablo.

Properly identified the source of my leak after multiple other plumbers/companies couldn’t figure it out. Were thorough in explaining what they were doing, how they arrived to their determination, and gave advice on how to proceed with next steps that were outside their scope of operations. Thanks Pablo and Tevon

We had a severe blockage in our kitchen sink drain, causing water to back up into both the sink and the dishwasher. Seth and Brady arrived on time, quickly identified the issue, and did an excellent job clearing the kitchen drain. They also fixed the dishwasher drain line, which is now working perfectly. They were professional, efficient, and courteous throughout the process. I highly recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.
