Sewer Work That Starts With a Camera, Not a Guess.
Recurring backups, sewer smell in the yard, or a new build that needs a fresh lateral run to the main — from camera inspection through full sewer installation, a Sasquatch shows you exactly what’s happening and quotes the honest fix.
Camera first. Guesswork never.
Most Vancouver Island homes built before 1980 have clay tile or cast-iron sewer laterals — and most of them are on borrowed time. Some just need clearing. Some need spot repair. Some need a full replacement. The only way to know is to put a camera down the line, watch the monitor together, and quote the option that actually fits your yard, budget, and timeline.
Camera inspection
Real-time video down your sewer lateral so you see exactly what we see — grease, roots, collapsed sections, or bad slope. Documented for insurance, real-estate inspections, or your peace of mind.
Sewer clearing & hydro-jetting
Heavy-duty snaking and high-pressure jetting for root intrusion and full-line grease build-up. Sometimes that’s all a sewer needs — and it costs a fraction of a replacement.
Sewer installation & replacement
New builds, additions, and full replacements of old clay, cast-iron, or Orangeburg laterals. Sized for your home’s actual load and connected to the municipal main correctly the first time.
When to book a sewer camera
- Recurring backups that a snake clears for a month, then fail again — usually a collapsed section or heavy root intrusion.
- Sewer smell in the yard — often a cracked lateral leaking into the soil.
- Wet spot on the lawn that never dries — same story, leak below grade.
- Multiple fixtures backing up at once — main line problem, not a branch drain.
- Buying an older home — a sewer camera before you close is the cheapest insurance in real estate.
- City-mandated repair notice — camera confirms scope so you can price it out properly.
Fixed pricing, staged for approval
Sewer work is one of the few jobs we quote in stages because the underground reality doesn’t always match the survey. You get a written quote for the camera inspection, then a written quote for the recommended fix once we see what we’re dealing with. Nothing gets excavated without your signature on the number. If the work needs municipal permits or coordination, we’ll walk you through what’s required.
