Eyes on the pipe
Live video diagnosis
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.
What we find & fix
Video pipe inspection services
Sewer, septic, drain, and commercial lines, scoped on camera so the diagnosis is certain.
Sewer Line Inspection
We scope your main sewer line to pinpoint backups, breaks, and root intrusion before anyone digs.
Septic Line Inspection
Camera inspection of septic lines and tank inlets to find the cause of slow drains and backups.
Drain & Branch Line Inspection
Scoping kitchen, laundry, and branch drains to locate recurring clogs and hidden problems.
Home-Buyer Sewer Scope
Buying or selling a home? A sewer scope reveals line condition before you are stuck with the bill.
Commercial Pipe Inspection
Video inspection for restaurants, retail, rentals, and multi-unit buildings to keep lines flowing.
Line Locating & Diagnosis
We mark the exact depth and location of the problem, so any repair is targeted, not a guess.
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.

What the camera finds
The usual suspects
Most line problems come down to a few culprits, and the camera shows us exactly which one.
Roots
Tree roots growing into joints and cracks, the number one cause of sewer line failure.
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.
The people behind the camera
A crew you are glad to let in
A camera is only as good as the plumber reading it. Our own trained, background checked crew knows exactly what they are looking at, explains it in plain language, and gives you honest options, not a sales pitch.

I had a great experience with Tyler when he came out to replace our toilet flushing system. From start to finish, Tyler was incredibly courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He walked me through what needed to be fixed, answered all my questions patiently, and completed the job efficiently. It’s rare to find such high-quality service and attention to detail. Everything is working perfectly now, and he left the work area completely clean. I highly recommend Tyler for any plumbing needs!

Absolute best plumbers I have ever used. Needed them a few times recently and each time they were so professional, kind and resolved each problem the first time around. This last issue took them several hours to fix. They explained everything along the way and gave a very fair price for a lot of work. They also work very cleanly! I will never use another plumber! I wanted to add a new review but I could not so I am editing my previous one. I had to use Clarksburg Plumbing again today and like last time, they were exceptional. I was fortunate enough to have John and Madeleine as my service technicians. I will always request them going forward. They are kind, professional and knowledgeable! I am sure the company knows how fortunate they are to have them as part of their team!

We thank Clarksburg Plumbing again for superior, high quality and friendly service! ----- Clarksburg Plumbing visited us last week to repair an external spigot that had been leaking. The work involved creating a little inside access panel. Within and without, a nice, neat job by Charlie and his understudy apprentice, Chris. Problem solved and happy campers here! ----- UPDATE: Plumber John Brown presented himself on time and got right to work replacing my Mom's ancient leaky kitchen faucet with a new store-bought one that I provided. During the process, Mr. Brown detected and showed me two other problem areas contributing to the water leaks: a cracked drain pipe and then rusted threads on the sink trap. He efficiently and expertly repaired all three elements to our full satisfaction. Plus, John is a super nice guy, completely honest and classy enough to laugh at all my corny jokes! The next time you need any plumbing work in your home or business, I strongly endorse John Brown and anyone on the Clarksburg Plumbing team! UPDATE 2: John and his understudy Maddie visited, and quickly solved the problem of a pinhole leak in copper tubing leading from our hot water heater. He advised us on other plumbing needs, for which we have scheduled and will otherwise follow-up. Thank you Clarksburg Plumbing for your top quality people - John Brown in particular - and performance.

Tevon, Noah, Markell, and Morrow were sent by Clarksburg Plumbing LLC to repair an outside broken waterline They arrived at the appointed hour and completed the work in about 3 hours. I was very impressed with them and I would like to recommend all four of these very professional and friendly technicians. Clarksburg Plumbing is a fantastic organization; the office staff, Katie and Charlotte, who helped me are the best.

Thank you to Seth, who came on Wednesday and fixed one of our two toilets and fixed our primary bedroom shower. And thank you to Charlie, who came today and replaced our other toilet and replaced our garbage disposal. You are both lifesavers! Our weekend (and going forward) will be MUCH nicer now that we can use our bathrooms (and garbage disposal) again. Highly recommend Clarksburg Plumbing.

GREAT service and expertise! John and Maddie just installed a water filtration system to our home. The process took one day to install and then they came back from the 48 hour install period to ensure everything was working well. John was familiar and knowledgeable about the water system we bought. Maddie and John kept our space clean, clearly explained how to ensure longevity for our system to last, and the difference it will make in our home. We appreciate their hard work and professionalism. This is our second time using Clarksburg plumbing. We would highly recommend their company to our family and friends.

John Brown was knowledgeable, responsive and pragmatic. He saved us time by diagnosing then recommending best course of action. We are now waiting for the estimate for the project and will be going with Clarksburg Plumbing on our 1948 cap cod renovation.

Franklin and his crew showed up promptly and communicated great with us to help limit disruption with the tenants at 4 of our building. Unfortunately for us a second water main leak occurred the day before. But luckily for us they were able to stay on site another 2 days and knock the second one out, even staying till 8pm to find the line and get it repaired. These will be the guys I request for our next time needs

We were very happy with the service we received today from John and Maddie. They were both very professional, ran the necessary tests to confirm the issue, and explained what they were doing step by step. They wore the protective booties to keep the floor nice and dry from the rainy weather too. Thank John and Maddie for all your help!

Good questions
Camera inspection FAQ
What homeowners and buyers ask us most about video pipe inspection.
What is a sewer camera inspection?
We feed a waterproof, high-resolution camera on a flexible cable through your sewer, septic, or drain line and watch the feed live. It lets us see cracks, roots, bellies, and blockages exactly where they are, without digging.
When should I get a sewer camera inspection?
Common times are recurring or multiple backups, before buying or selling a home, before any major sewer repair, or when slow drains have no obvious cause. It is the smartest first step for any underground line problem.
Do you do sewer scopes for home buyers?
Yes. A pre-purchase sewer scope shows the condition of the main line before you close, so you do not inherit a costly hidden repair. We can provide footage and a clear summary of what we found.
Can you tell exactly where the problem is?
Yes. We locate the depth and position of the issue and mark it, so if a repair is needed, it is targeted to the right spot instead of guessing and over-digging.
Do you inspect septic lines too?
We do. We scope septic lines and inlets to diagnose slow drains and backups, and recommend the right next step for your system.
Does video inspection work for commercial properties?
Yes. We inspect lines for restaurants, retail, rentals, and multi-unit buildings to find problems and plan repairs with minimal disruption to your business.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Clarksburg, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Damascus, Potomac, North Bethesda, and the surrounding Montgomery and Frederick County area.
