Video pipe inspection in Gaithersburg
Before camera inspection, diagnosing a buried pipe meant an educated guess followed by digging to find out whether the guess was right. Video inspection replaced the guess with a picture.
A waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed down the line, and the technician steers it while watching the image. Mallick uses video pipe inspection across residential and commercial plumbing in Gaithersburg and throughout Maryland.

Condition, Not Just Fault
Pipe condition assessed as well as the fault, so one repair does not become three.
Pre-Purchase Scopes
Pre-purchase sewer scopes turned around to suit a closing date.
Recurring clogs, or an unknown sewer line? Buying a house? Scope the line first.
Call (301) 804-6759Worth Knowing
What the camera actually finds
What the camera is looking for is specific: water leaks in underground lines, drain faults, sewer line damage, root intrusion, corrosion, and the general condition of the pipe it is travelling through.
The condition matters as much as the fault. A crack in otherwise sound pipe is a repair. The same crack in a line that is corroded along its length is the first of several, and knowing that before the work starts is what stops a job being done twice.
Diagnostic sequence
How an inspection runs
A sewer scope before purchase documents a buried line that a standard home inspection may not cover.
If the line is sound, you have removed the largest unknown. If it is not, you know before closing rather than after — and a failing sewer line found afterwards is entirely the new owner's problem.
What are we looking for
We establish what you need to know — a recurring fault, a pre-purchase check, or the condition of a line before work.
The line, seen
Camera fed down the line and steered, with the image reviewed as it goes rather than afterwards.
Located and assessed
Fault located and the surrounding pipe condition assessed, because one crack in failing pipe is not one crack.
Shown, not told
Findings explained with the footage, so the repair recommendation is something you can check.
Worth Knowing
Why we start here
The point of inspecting is to make the repair correct rather than approximate. When we can see the exact location of a leak and the condition of the pipe around it, we can say whether a repair will hold or whether the pipe needs replacing.
This is most valuable on water and sewer lines that run underground, where being wrong means opening the ground a second time. We start with the camera for that reason rather than as an upsell.

Quickly diagnosed the issue, thoroughly explained everything, and gave me a few options to move forward. I've had great experiences working with Mallick, highly recommend.
Chrissie Schenkel · Gaithersburg, MD Abbas came to our house for an emergency repair on a Saturday.
He was courteous and kind, he didn’t rush, and he worked hard to fix our problem and thoroughly investigate. It was hard to find a plumber who could do this on a Saturday at the last minute, and we appreciated Mallick’s and Abbas’s willingness.
Raj Nayak · Gaithersburg, MD Abbas Rahimiari was exceptionally professional, looking at our two plumbing problems, describing the underlying issues, fixing one immediately and explaining options on the other. Courteous, clear and efficient. And knowledgeable.

They inspected and guided me to make safe choices with my range that had a gas leak.
Andrea Huerta · Gaithersburg, MD Abbas and Bryan installed my new water heater.
There was a leak in my furnace and they fixed it also! The job was perfect. They had to install vents that were well done. They left no trace and the house was completely clean. The new water heater works like a charm. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team and Mallick.
Janet · Gaithersburg, MD Kyle was so helpful in helping my husband and I fix the water pressure in our house. Kyle was very well versed and experienced, providing great options for future improvements to water filtering. I would highly recommend his services to anybody struggling with plumbing issues.

Still Stuck?
Talk To A Plumber
(301) 804-6759Someone picks up 24/7 — nights, weekends, and holidays included.
What is a video pipe inspection, and why is it useful?
A high-resolution waterproof camera is fed into the plumbing on a flexible cable so the line can be seen from the inside. It locates clogs, cracks, root intrusion and corrosion exactly, without digging and without guesswork — which is what makes the repair that follows the right one.
When should I schedule a video pipe inspection?
If you have recurring clogs, slow drains or sewer odours, and before buying a home. It is also worth doing before any major plumbing repair, so the work done is the work actually needed. A sewer scope is not part of a standard home inspection and is usually ordered separately.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
Yes. A sewer scope can identify hidden defects before purchase and document the condition of the line.
Do you inspect commercial lines as well as residential?
Yes — we use it for both. The same equipment and approach applies to a residential drain and to a commercial line, and for commercial properties it is often part of scheduled inspection rather than a response to a fault.
