See inside your pipes. Know before you spend.
Advanced HD camera diagnostics to find the exact cause of recurring backups, root intrusions, or mystery leaks — without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Precision diagnostics, zero guesswork.
Recurring Backups
When drains keep clogging after clearing, there's a deeper issue — cracks, bellies, or root intrusion. Camera inspection reveals the true cause.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying an older Montreal home? A camera inspection of the drain system can reveal hidden problems that save you thousands in unexpected repairs.
Mystery Leaks
Water damage with no visible source? We can trace leak origins through walls and under slabs by inspecting the pipe interior.
Post-Repair Verification
After any major plumbing repair, we camera-inspect to verify the work was done correctly and the line is flowing at 100%.
Location & Detection
Our camera's built-in locating transmitter pinpoints the exact position and depth of any problem — both inside your home and outside in the yard — so repairs target only the affected area.
French Drain Inspection
We camera-inspect French drains and weeping tiles to detect blockages, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or sediment buildup that compromise your foundation's waterproofing.
Excavation & Exterior Repair
When camera inspection reveals broken exterior drains, damaged water entrances, or collapsed sewer lines, our crew handles the excavation and repair — from diagnosis to restoration.
From mystery to clear answers.
Access Point
We identify the best entry point — typically a cleanout, drain opening, or vent stack — to insert our HD inspection camera.
Live Inspection
You watch the live feed on our monitor as we navigate through your pipes, documenting everything we find in real-time. The entire inspection is recorded so you have a permanent copy for your records.
Diagnosis
We identify the exact location, nature, and severity of any issues — cracks, roots, blockages, bellies, or deterioration.
Written Report
You receive a detailed report with the full video recording, key screenshots, location markers, and our professional recommendation for repair or monitoring.
Diagnostics that save you money.
A $200 camera inspection can save you $5,000 in unnecessary excavation. We believe in diagnosing before prescribing — you'll know exactly what's wrong and what it costs to fix before we pick up a wrench.
“We were about to spend $8,000 on a full drain replacement. Bella Vita's camera inspection showed the problem was just one cracked joint. Repair cost $600. They saved us a fortune by being honest.”
— Alain & Dominique B., NDG
Why camera inspection matters in Montreal.
Montreal's aging infrastructure means most homes are sitting on plumbing systems that are 50 to 100 years old. Cast iron stacks, clay sewer lines, and outdated connections are the norm — and problems are often invisible until they become emergencies.
Without a camera inspection, plumbers are forced to guess. That guessing leads to over-diagnosis, unnecessary excavation, and inflated repair bills. A 20-minute camera inspection eliminates the guesswork entirely — you see the problem with your own eyes.
For anyone buying a pre-1980 Montreal home, a camera inspection is essential due diligence. General home inspectors cannot see inside your pipes — only an HD push-camera can reveal cracked joints, root intrusions, and bellied sections that will cost thousands to repair down the road.
