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.

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.

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

Seth provided an estimate on 8/25 for upgrading my basement sump pump to a dual system. He explained the setup clearly and promptly reordered the exact Wi-Fi-capable model I requested before installation. Seth and Maddie returned on 8/28 and did a fantastic job. The system works great, and their professionalism was top-notch. Highly recommended!

Katie and the Clarksburg Plumbing team were phenomenal. Katie came highly recommended, and it could not have been a better choice. During an emergency plumbing issue at one of the buildings we service, her team came right out and made it happen. It was a complicated situation, but they handled it from start to finish with great responsiveness, professionalism, and patience throughout the entire process. We greatly appreciate their help and highly recommend them.

The plumber from Clarksburg Plumbing who worked on my broken gas hot water heater was John Brown. John is an amazing plumber. He is extremely energetic, very efficient, has amazing knowledge about plumbing, and is very honest. He is also very friendly, considerate, and took the time to answer all my questions. He diagnosed the problem quickly (which was a defective burner assembly). Then when I showed him the manufacturer's warranty, he took the initiative to immediately call the manufacturer and order all the necessary parts (which were free under the warranty). When the parts were delivered, he made sure to show up the next day and install the parts. As we talked throughout his time in the house, I could see that he has very deep knowledge of plumbing, which gives me confidence that his work is top quality. I also had a problem with very high water pressure in the house. The pressure regulator had to be replaced. John, working with Maddie, did a great job in fixing that as well. After the work, everything was cleaned up completely.
