Camera Inspection & Leak Locating in San Antonio, TX

A leak you can't see is the worst kind. You hear water running when every faucet is off. Your bill jumps for no reason. A spot on the slab stays warm or damp. Guessing wastes money and tears up your floor for nothing. A camera changes that. We feed a waterproof scope through the drain or sewer line and watch a live picture of what's happening inside your pipes.

Here's how it works. The plumber picks an access point, usually a cleanout or a pulled toilet, and runs the camera through the line. On the screen we spot cracks, root intrusion, bellied pipe, grease buildup, or the break causing your backup. For pressurized water leaks under a slab, we use acoustic listening gear and line tracing to mark the exact spot on your floor. You see the same footage we do. No mystery, no jackhammering the whole slab.

San Antonio makes leaks tricky. Our clay-heavy soil swells in the rain and shrinks in the summer heat, and that movement shifts pipes and cracks slab lines all over town. Older cast iron under homes in Monte Vista, Alamo Heights, and Terrell Hills corrodes and scales from the inside. Newer builds out in Stone Oak, Cibolo, and Schertz sit on that same shifting ground. Pinpointing the leak first means we open one small area instead of chasing it blind.

Once we know the where and the what, we walk you through your options in plain terms. Sometimes it's a spot repair. Sometimes the camera shows a bigger sewer or slab issue. Either way, you'll have a clear picture before you decide anything.
