Process of CCTV Pipe Inspection

Each plumbing company adopts its inspection process; some use equipment vans with closed-circuit television video pipe inspection. In the process, we insert remotely controlled CCTV cameras into the sewer entry points that range between 1.5” to 72” diameters. These cameras help us to inspect sewer laterals to a distance of approximately 70 to 80 feet. Once we have inserted a camera, we can see a picture of sewer pipes and find the reason behind the damage.

What is the purpose of using CCTV video for Inspections?

Video inspections have many benefits for homeowners.

With the camera, a plumber or pipe repair expert can analyze the nature and type of the problem and find the solution. The solution depends on case to case bases. Sometimes, it might not be necessary to repair or change the whole pipe, but a damaged part required modifications. Coming up with a specific solution reduces both the cost and the time.

CCTV inspection in an environmental friendly approach

There is no need for digging for CCTV inspection. It means if you are inspecting the road sewerage lines; there is no need to remove plants, shrubs, or any natural elements.

CCTV cameras find problems quickly

Through the camera, a plumber can detect a problem leaving no scope of guesswork. Some of the CCTV cameras are so powerful that you can see the pipe underground.

If a pipe is cracked or broken

There are many reasons for a pipe to get a crack or break. One of the reasons is earth compacting, the incorrect layout of the pipe systems, or movements in the ground. Tree roots can cause cracks by creating an obstruction inside the pipe and obstructing the flow of water. Your CCTV drain camera can help the plumber make the correct evaluation of the damage and find the best solution to repair that damaged section.

Pipe Sagging

Pipe Sagging happens due to poor installation and compaction around the pipe when it is getting laid. It prevents water and other materials from seamlessly getting drained through pipes. Your plumber can use a CCTV camera to check the extent of pipe sagging. From there, they would find out the way and perform the repair. Generally sagging, or back fall happens due to excavating and replacing the section of pipe.

Displaced or Collapsed Pipe

A collapsed or displaced pipe happens due to incorrect installation, use of outdated materials, and damage due to clearing of blockages or rages. It can also block the drains causing water to gather around and damage the area. Excavating the drain is very expensive, so a plumber uses a CCTV camera for assessing the damaged part.

Blockages of a drain due to tree roots

Tree blockages are very common in sewer and stormwater drains systems.
How do they happen? Tree roots grow towards the water source if house pipes are old and get cracks. It is not difficult for even a hair-like tree root to enter into the drains turning into a thick fibrous mass, and block or break the pipes. A plumber can use a camera to assess the point from where the tree roots have entered and how much damage it has caused?
