Expert Drain Camera Inspection in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA

Drain camera inspection lets Gomez Sewer and Drain see exactly what is happening inside your pipes before any repair work begins. A flexible rod with a camera attached is fed into your drain or sewer line. The live video feed shows cracks, root intrusion, blockages, pipe bellies, and joint separation in real time. Many homes across San Jose, Campbell, and Los Gatos were built with clay or cast iron sewer lines. These older pipe materials are common in Santa Clara County's pre-1980s housing stock, and they are prone to joint separation, root intrusion, and cracking from soil movement and seismic activity. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact location and cause of the problem. That means no guesswork, no unnecessary digging, and a clear picture of what your pipes actually need. Whether you are dealing with a recurring clog, a slow drain across multiple fixtures, or you are buying or selling a home, a drain camera inspection gives you the facts. Call Gomez Sewer and Drain to schedule yours.

Drain Camera Inspection FAQ

Common questions about drain camera inspection in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.

You likely need one if you have recurring slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, or backups in multiple fixtures. These signs often point to a deeper issue in the main sewer line, especially in older San Jose homes with clay or cast iron pipes.

No, the camera is attached to a flexible rod and fed gently through your existing drain or cleanout access point. The process is non-invasive and does not require any cutting or digging.

Yes, a camera inspection gives you a clear view of the sewer line condition before you close on a property. It can reveal cracked pipes, root intrusion, or pipe bellies that are not visible during a standard home inspection.

Our experience was terrific. We had a medium sized job: replace the 90 year old iron sewer connection out rom back of home, down the driveway and out to the property line, and add a BBQ island (sink, garbage disposal, gas appliances) in the back yard. All together about 150' of sewer plus venting for the BBQ island, and water, gas to the BBQ. All work was done with permits. The quote included connection to the sewer under the home (not just at the exterior foundation where other quotes specified). Communication was excellent. They arrived when they said they would. Both the principals and the workers are very good people. Work went quickly when not waiting on inspections (schedule inspections early!). I judge a firm by how they handle problems. In this case, the rough plumbing inspector gave the OK for a certain island venting technique. The different final inspector said it must be changed, and Gomez plumbing just fixed it promptly, all within the original quote. Of course we waited for a second final inspection before getting the project closed (schedule early!) Gomez is now our go-to plumber.

5/5 stars – I was very impressed with Gomez Sewer and Drain. Ivan & his entire crew are wonderful! They showed up on time as promised, squeezed me in next day on the schedule, handled the problem quickly & efficiently, cleaned up beautifully, and sent me the emailed invoice, all within 24 hours! I'm a realtor of 23 years and had a back up in a condo I'm selling. I had no time to waste and they came to my rescue quickly! They made me look good to my clients. I have them on speed dial and part of my trusted team. I highly recommend you put them on yours.

I appreciate the timely service and will definitely call them again for any plumbing repair needs.

He patiently answers all my questions and clearly explains the work needed. Fidel’s pricing is fair and honest. I highly recommend Fidel!

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Fidel Gomez for his quick response and help! My daughter had a bit of a mishap by putting a toy down the toilet, and we were without a working toilet for nearly three months. A plumber came to fix it, but they initially suggested replacing the entire toilet. However, something just didn’t feel right, and I suspected the toy was still inside. To my surprise, when I called Fidel, there was a bubble bee inside! So, we owe him a huge thank you for his prompt assistance and for saving the day. He’s definitely my go-to plumber from now on.
