Stop guessing what's wrong underground. A sewer camera shows exactly what's happening inside your line, and where.
Your sewer line runs underground and under your slab, where nobody can see it. When drains back up, gurgle, or clog over and over, the only way to know what's really happening is to look inside. A sewer camera inspection sends a waterproof camera through the line, showing roots, cracks, breaks, offset joints, sagging sections, grease buildup, and blockages in real time.
MC 1 Plumbing uses camera inspections to diagnose recurring drain problems, confirm what a smoke test or backup points to, check a line before and after hydro jetting, and help buyers understand the condition of a sewer line before they purchase a home. We can also locate the position and depth of the problem so any repair is targeted precisely.
A camera inspection often saves money by preventing unnecessary digging. Instead of excavating to find a problem, you know exactly where it is and what it is. Every inspection is led by a licensed Texas Responsible Master Plumber (RMP M-43246) with 30 years of experience.
A camera inspection turns guesswork into a clear, targeted plan.

Know the sewer line's condition before you buy a home.
Many San Antonio homes still have original cast-iron or clay sewer lines, which crack, corrode, and separate with age. Mature trees send roots into joints and cracks looking for water. And the area's expansive clay soils shift through wet and dry seasons, which can cause sections of pipe to sag, offset, or break.
Those problems are invisible from above until they cause a backup. A camera inspection shows the true condition of the line so you can decide whether it needs cleaning, a spot repair, or replacement.
If you're buying an older home, a sewer camera inspection before closing can reveal an expensive problem while you still have time to negotiate.
Every camera inspection gives you a clear view and a clear explanation.
