Sewer Camera Inspection

Common Uses of Sewer Camera Inspection

1. Blockage Detection
   Cameras can pinpoint clogs caused by debris, grease, foreign objects, or root intrusions.
2. Damage Assessment
   Cracks, corrosion, misaligned joints, and collapsed sections of the pipe can be identified accurately.
3. Preventive Maintenance
   Regular camera inspections can detect early signs of pipe deterioration, allowing proactive maintenance before major issues develop.
4. Post-Repair Verification
   After repairs or installation, camera inspection confirms that pipes are properly aligned, clear of debris, and functioning as intended.

Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspection

1. Accurate Diagnostics
   
   • Provides a visual assessment of the sewer line’s interior.
   • Allows plumbers to determine the exact location and nature of problems.
2. Targeted Repairs
   • Repairs can be performed precisely where needed, avoiding unnecessary excavation.
   • Minimizes disruption to landscaping, flooring, or other structures.
3. Cost Reduction
   
   • Reduces labor and material costs by focusing repair efforts only on affected areas.
   • Prevents repeated repair attempts due to misdiagnosis.
4. Time Efficiency
   • Quick identification of the problem speeds up repair planning and execution.
5. Enhanced Safety
   
   • Eliminates guesswork and reduces the risk of damaging adjacent pipes or utilities during repairs.

Inspection Process

1. Initial Assessment
   The plumbing team evaluates symptoms, such as slow drains, backups, or odors, to determine which sewer lines require inspection.
2. Camera Deployment
   A flexible, waterproof CCTV camera is inserted into the sewer line. The camera transmits live video to a monitor for real-time observation.
3. Recording and Analysis
   The footage is recorded for detailed analysis, allowing identification of blockages, cracks, corrosion, and other issues.
4. Reporting and Recommendations
   A comprehensive report is generated, including the location of issues and recommended repair methods, whether it’s unclogging, patching, or full pipe replacement.
