Push Rod Camera
Flexible pipe camera for smaller diameter lines — fast diagnostics, exportable video.
What It Is
A push rod camera is exactly what it sounds like: a flexible rod with a camera head on the end, pushed manually through a pipe or drain line. It’s the right tool for smaller diameter pipes — typically 2 to 8 inches — where you need to see what’s going on without the setup required for a full crawler deployment. Push rod cameras are fast to deploy, versatile, and produce clear video documentation.
How It Works
The technician feeds the flexible rod into the pipe through a cleanout, floor drain, or other access point. The camera head transmits live video back to a monitor, and the inspection is recorded. The footage can be exported for the client, shared with a contractor, or attached to a report. The whole setup takes minutes, not hours.
Best Used For
- Residential lateral lines and household drain systems
- Smaller commercial drain lines
- Pre-purchase property inspections — know what you’re buying
- Identifying blockages, root intrusion, cracks, and pipe condition
- Quick diagnostics before scheduling a repair
- Documentation for insurance, warranty, or legal purposes
Why It Matters
Most drain problems are not visible from the surface. A push rod inspection gives you a clear answer fast — whether it’s a root ball, a collapsed section, or a grease buildup — so you are not paying for a repair until you know exactly what the repair needs to be.
