Inspecting the Wastewater Line with a Plumbing Camera

Now that everything is clearer with the plumbing, let’s inspect the wastewater line, because that’s the one I’m most interested in. We’re going to pass the drain camera through the pipe — it’s right here. It’s the Sanyipace drain inspection camera, and its reference is displayed on the screen.

I don’t remember the exact model name, but you’ll find the link in the review along with a discount code. Everything I show in this video includes a promo — pretty great, right?

We’ll send the camera through the drain to see how far it goes. It shows the number of meters traveled, so we’ll know exactly how long the line is. Hopefully, it doesn’t go as far as the neighbor’s bathroom — otherwise, he might end up on YouTube without knowing it!

Normally, the line goes straight to the street, around 15 meters before reaching the main sewer system. If everything is clear up to that point, that’s a good sign — it means the line is fine. It’s mostly the rainwater drains that were problematic, but we’ll need another solution for those.

Overview of the Sanyipace Sewer Inspection Camera

Here’s the Sanyipace plumbing camera, an excellent tool I’ll quickly show you how to use. The camera head is equipped with several attachable accessories. I prefer using the spring attachment — it’s practical and flexible.

My version comes with a 100-meter cable. On top, there’s a built-in monitor that looks like a small laptop. Let’s turn it on. It features a mini SD card slot for recording and exporting footage easily.

The adjustable screen allows comfortable positioning while working over a manhole. The reel includes smooth rollers for winding and unwinding the cable. It’s lightweight and easy to carry — similar to an electrician’s fish tape, but with live video feedback.

Camera Features and Performance

This sewage camera includes several useful features:

• Adjustable LED lighting for clear visibility inside pipes
• Dual power modes – battery or AC
• Long battery life suitable for field work
• 10-inch Full HD screen with excellent image resolution
• Real-time distance counter displayed during inspection

These features make it one of the most practical tools for professional drain inspections.

When inspecting, the system displays a real-time distance counter. For instance, when I pull the cable, it reads 1.12 meters. As I push the drain camera further — 3 meters, 6 meters, 10 meters — everything looks clean. At around 16 meters, we’ve reached the main city sewer network. Beyond that point, it’s the city’s responsibility.

Maintenance and Handling

When rewinding the cable, it’s easy — just roll it back while keeping a cloth handy to wipe off sand or dirt. You should regularly spray WD-40 on the rollers to keep them clean and smooth.

After finishing the job, export the video from the SD card, add notes, and save it for your client or project files. It’s practical and straightforward — think of it as an electrician’s reel with a camera.

You can also use this plumbing inspection camera to check empty conduits before pulling cables. Attach the wire to the camera head, send it through, and retrieve it from the other side — super efficient.

Accessories and Completeness

The kit comes with various accessories — different camera supports, protective caps, replacement seals, screwdrivers, and extension pieces. It’s a complete professional kit, ready for any kind of inspection.

If you work on drainage, rainwater, or wastewater lines, this type of drain inspection camera is essential. Even for bathroom or toilet installations, it’s a great investment.

I’ve also used it for wall inspections. Once, I couldn’t pass a wire through a partition, and with this camera, I discovered a plaster plug blocking the conduit — it saved me hours of guessing and unnecessary drilling.

Why the Sanyipace Drain Camera Is Worth It

Honestly, the Sanyipace sewer camera is one of those tools that becomes indispensable once you have it. I hesitated at first, but after testing it and comparing it with my colleague’s units, I can confidently say it performs excellently.

A thermal camera might seem more high-tech, but I rarely use mine. This, on the other hand, is a must-have for plumbers, contractors, and property managers.

Whether you’re checking blocked drains, damaged ducts, or hidden obstacles, this sewage camera helps you understand what’s happening instantly.

If you plan to invest in one professional tool this year, make it this one. There’s a $100 discount on the Sanyipace official website with the promo code provided. Multiple versions — 20m, 50m, and 100m — let you choose what fits your work best.

Final Notes: Why a Sewer Camera Is Essential

If you’re buying a property, always check the sewage and rainwater lines — not just the roof or structure. A quick inspection with a sewer camera can save you from costly surprises later.

I’m really glad I checked everything here — now I can move forward with a clean, working system.
