When Should I Get a Camera Inspection?
If you’re dealing with frequent backups, gurgling toilets, or drains that clear slowly no matter what you do, a camera inspection is the best next step. Our equipment lets us see exactly what’s happening inside the pipe. Common issues include cracks, collapsed sections, foreign objects, or root intrusion.

What’s the Difference Between an Auger and Snake?
An auger is a handheld snake. It is typically used for small, shallow clogs like those in sinks or bathtubs.
A drain snake is more powerful. It’s a motor-driven tool that clears longer, deeper blockages through the full length of the line.
At Reliable Plumbing, we always run the snake all the way through to ensure proper flow and avoid repeat issues down the line.
