Camera inspection and leak locating in Soquel pinpoints hidden water damage before it becomes a bigger problem. A lot of homes in Soquel and the surrounding areas sit on older clay soil that shifts with the seasons, and slab foundations can crack or settle. When you notice soft spots in your flooring, wet patches in the yard, or your water bill jumps without explanation, a camera can see exactly what's happening under the house.
Our plumber runs a small waterproof camera through your pipes or into the soil around your foundation. The video feeds to a monitor so you both see the crack, root intrusion, or break as it happens. This means we know the exact spot that needs repair, not just the general area. You get a clear picture before any digging starts.
If we find a leak, we show you the location and what needs to happen next. Some leaks are small and patched quickly. Others call for a section of pipe replacement or slab repair. Either way, you know the scope before work begins. We shut off the water where needed and start only after you approve what you've seen.

Common questions
How does a camera inspection find leaks under the house?
We run a waterproof camera on a flexible cable through the pipe or under the slab, and it sends live video to a monitor above ground. You see the crack, break, or root intrusion in real time. We mark the exact spot on the surface so repair is fast and precise, without digging up the whole yard.
What if the camera finds a leak? Do I have to fix it right away?
No. You see the inspection video and get a report with photos. Then you decide if you want to repair it now, monitor it, or wait. If it's a slab leak or under-house damage, we'll explain what happens if you delay, but the choice is yours. We don't pressure you into work the same day.
Can you inspect sewer lines and drains?
Yes. If you have a backed-up drain, slow drains throughout the house, or a history of root problems, camera inspection shows if the issue is a clog, tree roots, a broken section, or grease buildup. It helps us decide whether you need a simple cleaning or a bigger repair.
How long does a camera inspection take?
Most inspections take 30 to 45 minutes depending on how long the line is and what we're looking for. We'll give you a time frame when you call. If we're checking a clogged drain, we often clear it first, then camera-inspect to make sure it's really clear.
