Camera inspection and leak locating in Salinas saves homeowners months of guessing and thousands in water damage. When water shows up in a wall, under the foundation, or pooling in a yard, the first question is always where it's coming from. A plumber uses a waterproof camera on a flexible rod to travel through your pipes and see exactly what's happening inside. No digging, no drywall removal, no assumptions.
Salinas homes built in the last 40 years often have copper or PVC lines running under slab foundations. Soil movement, mineral buildup, and age wear on these pipes. The camera tells us if a leak is a pinhole, a crack, root intrusion in a sewer line, or a joint that's separated. Once we know, we know the cost and the fix. You approve the plan before a shovel goes in the ground.
Water pooling near your foundation, a warm spot on the kitchen floor, or a sewer smell in the yard all point to a buried problem. A video inspection takes 45 minutes to an hour and costs less than emergency water removal later. We route the camera, narrate what we see, and give you stills and a report so you have proof for insurance if you need it.
