Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Video Pipe Inspection (VPI)?
Video Pipe Inspection (VPI) is a process where a small, high-resolution camera is inserted into your drain tile  piping system to provide a real-time, visual assessment of the pipe’s condition. This helps identify blockages, collapses, and other issues without the need for invasive digging.
Why should I get a Video Pipe Inspection?
VPI can identify problems early before they become costly repairs. It provides a clear and accurate diagnosis of your drain tile system, helping to ensure it operates efficiently and prevents future issues.
What are the common signs that I need a VPI?
Common symptoms include roof water overflowing, outside drains backing up, standing water in your basement/crawlspace, and visible mold or mildew in the basement. If you notice any of these issues, a VPI can help diagnose the underlying problem.
How does the Video Pipe Inspection process work?
The process involves an initial consultation to understand your issues, followed by an on-site inspection where we insert a camera into the drain tile system. We provide a detailed report with our findings and recommendations, and discuss the next steps to resolve any identified problems.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, including: Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Ladner, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Richmond, Surrey, Tsawwassen, Vancouver, West Vancouver, White Rock. Contact us to check if we cover your location.
How long does a VPI take?
The inspection itself typically takes an hour, depending on the complexity and length of your drainage system. The total time from initial consultation to the on-site inspection may vary based on scheduling, location, and the specifics of your situation.
What equipment do you use for VPI?
We use state-of-the-art, high-resolution fibre optic cameras specifically designed for inspecting drain tile systems. Our equipment provides clear images and video footage, ensuring an accurate assessment of your drainage system.
Is the VPI process messy?
No, the VPI process is minimally invasive and does not require any digging or significant disruption to your property. The camera is inserted through existing access point cleanouts around the perimeter of the home.
Can I see the inspection?
Yes, we encourage you to be on-site during the inspection! This allows you to see exactly what we see and better understand any issues within your drain tile system.
What do I need to do to prepare for a VPI?

What happens after the inspection?
