A leak inside your wall or under your foundation isn't something you can see, but you'll know it's there when your water bill spikes or mold starts showing up. Camera inspection and leak locating in Aptos uses a small waterproof camera on a flexible rod to travel through your pipes and show exactly where the problem is. No guessing. No tearing out walls. You watch the footage on a screen and see for yourself what your plumber is seeing.

Most homes in Aptos and the surrounding communities have older clay or cast iron pipes, especially in Seacliff and near downtown. These pipes fail from root intrusion, corrosion, or just age. A camera inspection takes maybe 30 minutes per section of line and gives you a crystal-clear picture of what needs repair. From there, we can plan the right fix, whether that's a spot repair, pipe relining, or a full section replacement.

Slab leaks are common under homes built in the 70s and 80s. The water lines run concrete, and when they start to fail, you'll hear running water under the floor or see soft spots in the slab. A camera can't always see through the slab itself, but it can check the exposed sections and help us locate where to dig. Leak locating technology also uses acoustic sensors and water-pressure testing to pinpoint the exact spot, so your plumber doesn't spend a week tearing up your yard.

We'll be at your door in about 45 minutes. We bring the camera rig, run it through your line, record what we find, and explain it to you before we quote any repair work. You see the problem, you understand the solution, and you approve the price before we start.

Common questions

Can a camera inspection find a leak if I don't know where it is?
Yes. The camera travels through your pipes and shows us exactly where the leak, clog, or damage is. If the leak is in a buried line or inside a wall, the camera will catch it on video, and then we can use acoustic leak detection to pinpoint the exact spot so repair is as simple as possible.
Will the inspection damage my pipes?
No. The camera is small and flexible, and it only goes into lines that are already there. It doesn't break anything or force its way through. If a line is completely blocked, we clear it first so the camera can pass safely.
How long does a camera inspection take?
Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how much of the system we're checking and whether we need to clear a clog first. We'll give you an accurate time frame when we arrive and assess what we're looking at.
What if the camera finds something but I'm not ready to fix it?
That's fine. We'll give you a detailed report with photos and recommendations. You keep the information, and you can call us back when you're ready to move forward. Knowing what's wrong is half the battle.
