Well Camera Inspection Services in Hermitage, PA
If something’s going on inside your well and you’re not sure what it is, guessing is never the right move. Parker Brothers Well Drilling now offers professional downhole camera inspection services using the Heron Dipper-See Examiner, a high-resolution inspection camera built specifically for well environments.
Whether you’re dealing with unexplained water quality changes, a drop in water pressure, or you just want to know the condition of your well before buying or selling a property, a downhole camera inspection takes the guesswork out of the equation.
What Is a Downhole Well Camera Inspection?
A downhole camera inspection involves lowering a waterproof camera into your well to get a clear, real-time view of what’s happening below the surface. This kind of inspection can reveal issues that no surface-level test can detect — things like casing damage, sediment buildup, equipment wear, or structural problems that could be affecting your water supply.
The Heron Dipper-See Examiner is a vertical inspection camera designed to go where most equipment can’t. It works in wells and boreholes as narrow as 1 inch (25mm) in diameter, making it useful for a wide range of well types common throughout the Shenango Valley and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
What the Heron Dipper-See Examiner Can Do
The Dipper-See Examiner is purpose-built for real-world field use. It’s rugged, portable, and gets the job done without requiring a full crew or heavy equipment on site.
Here’s what it brings to your inspection:
- Inspects wells as small as 1″ (25mm) in diameter, covering a wide range of residential, agricultural, and commercial well sizes
- Adjustable angle monitor that swings side-to-side and up-down, giving the technician a clear view from multiple angles without repositioning the camera
- On-site video recording so the full inspection can be reviewed at the office or shared with the property owner
- Audio note capability via an included microphone, allowing technicians to narrate findings in real time as the inspection is taking place
- Modular design that makes the unit easy and affordable to maintain and repair over time
When Should You Schedule a Well Camera Inspection?
There are quite a few situations where a camera inspection makes sense before taking any other action. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a downhole look at your well is a smart first step:
- Sudden or gradual drop in water pressure
- Changes in water taste, color, or odor
- Unusual sediment or particles in your water
- Concerns about well casing integrity or age
- Pre-purchase or pre-sale property inspection
- Well has not been inspected in several years
- Suspected pump or equipment damage below the surface
Getting a clear picture of what’s actually happening in your well can save you from spending money on repairs or replacements that may not even address the real problem.

Well Camera Inspection — Frequently Asked Questions
A waterproof camera is attached to a flexible cable and lowered into your well. As it descends, it transmits live video to a monitor above ground where our technician can see exactly what’s happening at every depth. The entire inspection is recorded so we can review footage afterward if needed.
The Heron Dipper-See Examiner works in any well or borehole that is 1 inch (25mm) in diameter or wider. That covers the vast majority of residential, agricultural, and commercial wells we service in the Shenango Valley area.
Most inspections can be completed in under an hour, depending on the depth of the well and what we find along the way. Your technician will give you a time estimate based on your specific well before getting started.
Yes. The inspection is recorded on-site and you can receive a copy of the video. Our technicians also use a microphone to narrate findings during the inspection, so the recording includes commentary on what you’re looking at.
The Dipper-See Examiner is designed primarily for vertical inspection in drilled wells, boreholes, and narrow shafts. If you have a dug well or a unique setup, give us a call and we’ll let you know whether a camera inspection is the right fit for your situation.
No — and it’s not meant to. A camera inspection is a visual tool that gives us a look at the physical condition of your well: the casing, the equipment, sediment levels, and structural integrity. Water quality testing is still the right method for evaluating what’s in your water. Many customers benefit from both, especially when troubleshooting a problem or preparing for a property transaction.
If the inspection reveals an issue, your technician will walk you through what was found and discuss your options. Because Parker Brothers handles well repairs, pump service, and water treatment, we can address most problems in-house without you needing to call a separate contractor.
Just give us a call at (724) 346-4141 or use the contact form on our website. We’ll get you scheduled and answer any questions you have before the appointment.
