Finding a problem in your plumbing isn't always easy. There are a lot of pipes, and a lot of them aren't easy for the plumber to get to without digging up your lawn or cutting into your walls. That's a lot of prospective damage to your property that will cost a lot to put back together, just for the chance to maybe find where the problem is. That is also going to take a lot of time, and you don't really want to be without your plumbing for a long time. That's why there are other ways that the plumber can find out where the problem is. 

Video Inspection

One of the ways that a plumber can figure out where the problem in your plumbing is to use a video inspection. This kind of inspection happens when they feed a cable that has a camera on one end down into your pipes. The plumber may send the camera into the pipes from different places so that they can see as much of the pipe as possible. Which drain they choose to use depends on where the problem seems to be manifesting. For example, if most of your drains appear to be working right but a toilet is being slow, then the plumber may send the camera down through your toilet's drain to see what is slowing down that drain. The plumber has a lot of reasons why they might use this method to find the problem. 

Location

One of the main reasons a plumber would choose to use the video inspection to find the problem in your plumbing is that they are going to be able to pinpoint exactly where the problem is. Not only that, but they are also going to be able to know exactly what the problem is. Knowing where the problem is means that the plumber is going to be able to go right to the problem so that they aren't tearing up your entire yard or all your walls to find where the problem is. Since the plumber is going to know what the problem is, they are going to be able to use the right tool to fix it.
