Sewer Camera Inspection in Houston | Stop Guessing, Start Seeing

If you have a recurring clog that comes back every few months, “snaking” it again is a waste of money. You are treating the symptom, not the disease. You need to know what is causing the blockage and where it is located.

At Blackmon Plumbing, we believe in Evidence-Based Plumbing. We don’t guess. We deploy waterproof, high-definition sewer cameras deep into your lines to visually verify the condition of your pipes.

Whether it’s a crushed pipe under your driveway or a ball of grease under your kitchen, we find it, record it, and show you the proof.

You don’t need a camera for a simple clogged toilet. But you absolutely need one for:

• Recurring Backups: If you’ve snaked the same drain twice in a year, there is a structural issue (roots/break) that snaking can’t fix.
• Home Purchase (Pre-Purchase Inspection): Never buy a home built before 1980 without inspecting the Cast Iron sewer lines. A $300 inspection can save you from a $20,000 tunnel job.
• Foundation Movement: If your slab has shifted, it may have sheared your plumbing. A camera confirms if the pipe is intact.
• Planning a Pool or Addition: Before you dig a pool in your backyard, you must know where your sewer line runs. We locate and map the line so your pool contractor doesn’t accidentally sever your plumbing.
• Lost Valuables: Dropped a wedding ring down the drain? We can locate it.

You may see ads for “Free Camera Inspections” from large franchise rooter companies. Be careful. In the plumbing trade, if the diagnostic is free, the “repair” is often guaranteed to be expensive.

• The Sales Trap: These companies use the camera as a sales tool to upsell unnecessary replacements. They are incentivized to find problems that might not exist.
• The Blackmon Difference: We charge a fair, flat rate for our diagnostic time. Because you are paying for the inspection, our only goal is to tell you the unbiased truth—even if that truth is “your pipes are fine, it was just a wipe.”
