What to know

The assessment question is specific.

It should identify which drainage path may need protection, where an accessible valve could be installed, whether the pipe appears suitable and what additional evidence is required.

Project context

CCTV can reveal internal pipe conditions.

Camera work may document branches, material changes, roots, deposits, cracks, offsets, standing water and obstructions. It does not show every external condition or replace accurate survey where grade must be confirmed.

CCTV can reveal internal pipe conditions.

Owner handover

The output should support a decision.

Useful deliverables can include findings, photos or video references, proposed location, permit needs, limitations, rebate-documentation needs and a scope for installation or further investigation.

Project checklist

Keep the decision specific to the property.

Use the assessment, authority requirements and written scope rather than choosing from a generic product package.

  • Flood and sewer-backup history review
  • Interior and exterior access review
  • CCTV private-lateral inspection
  • Storm and sanitary connection identification
  • Written installation or next-step recommendation

Frequently asked questions

Important scope and homeowner questions.

Is CCTV always required?

Not for every project, but it can reduce uncertainty about pipe route, condition and connections, and some programmes require technical evidence.

Can the camera locate the exact pipe depth?

A locator and site measurements may help, but video distance alone is not a complete excavation plan.

Will the assessment confirm rebate approval?

No. It can support the application and technical decision; the programme administrator makes the eligibility decision.

Can assessment fees qualify for Toronto support?

Toronto’s expanded programme includes an eligible one-time home plumbing assessment category, subject to its current requirements.
