Before and after.
Root Intrusion in Clay Tile Line
Before
A homeowner in Winston Park had repeated kitchen sink backups. The line was snaked twice, but the clog returned. The old clay tile pipe was full of roots.
After

Grease Clog in Restaurant Drain
Before
A restaurant near Melrose Park Industrial Park had a floor drain backing up during dinner service. Grease had built up over months and narrowed the pipe to a pencil-width opening.
After
We ran a camera and saw the grease clog at 15 feet. We hydro jetted the line with 4,000 PSI water and cleared the clog. The drain flowed freely the same night.
Collapsed Pipe in Pre-1970 Home
Before
A home near the Maywood border had sewage odors in the basement. The sewer line was original cast iron and had a collapsed section at 45 feet.

You need a camera inspection if you have repeated clogs, slow drains, sewage odors, or gurgling sounds. It is also smart before buying a home or after a major backup. The camera shows whether the problem is a simple clog or a broken pipe. That tells you whether to snake, jet, or replace the line.
