What Is Video Sewer Inspection? Banner

What Is Video Sewer Inspection?

Video sewer inspection is a new diagnostic method that uses a specialized waterproof camera mounted on a flexible cable to examine the inside of the sewer lines. Our technicians insert this device into the pipes, transmitting real-time footage to a monitor above ground. This allows us to see what’s happening inside the plumbing system – from tree root intrusions and pipe breaks to blockages and corrosion. Unlike traditional methods, sewer line video inspection takes the guesswork out of diagnosis, pinpointing problems accurately and helping us recommend the most effective solutions.

Types of Problems Detected

Collapsed Sewer Lines

Certain lines in the sewer system can collapse due to shifting soil, aging, or external pressure, causing complete blockages or backups. A video inspection pinpoints the location and severity of the collapse, allowing for a targeted and efficient repair.

Leaks or Cracks in Joints

Leaks or cracks in the joints of sewer pipes may allow wastewater to escape, potentially damaging surrounding areas. A video inspection highlights these cracks, ensuring timely repairs to avoid costly destruction.

Bellied Pipes

A bellied pipe occurs when a section sags or settles, accumulating wastewater and debris at the low point. Video inspections can detect this issue early, enabling prompt repair and preventing further clogs and backups.

Misaligned or Off-Grade Pipes

Misaligned or settled pipes may cause improper flow and lead to persistent clogs. Our sewer scope reveals these problems and helps technicians recommend the necessary repairs to restore proper drainage.

Corrosion or Deterioration

As pipes age, they may corrode or deteriorate, weakening their structure and causing leaks. A video sewer line inspection helps detect the affected areas so that repairs can be made before a pipe bursts.

Pipe Cracks or Breaks

If left unchecked, cracks or breaks in pipes may lead to leaks and sewer line damage. Video inspections provide a clear view of the pipe’s condition, enabling targeted repairs and reducing the risk of future problems.

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, causing cracks, leaks, and other problems. A video inspection allows technicians to identify these intrusions and determine the extent of the damage, preventing further issues.

Pipe Blockages

Sewer video inspections can reveal blockages caused by debris, grease, food waste, or foreign objects lodged in the pipes, obstructing the wastewater flow. Identifying these blockages early helps prevent complete obstructions that may lead to backups or costly repairs.

How Is Sewer Camera Inspection Performed?

Initial Consultation

Our technicians begin by discussing the client's concerns and any issues they have noticed, such as slow drains or recurring backups. We aim to understand each situation in-depth and address the problem.

Video Camera Insertion and Navigation

Our high-definition camera, mounted on a flexible rod, is carefully inserted into the sewer line. The device is self-leveling and equipped with powerful LED lights, providing clear images.

Distance Tracking

Our equipment includes a device that tracks the camera's position and depth. When we discover an issue, we mark its exact location above ground and record its distance from the access point for precise future repairs.

Detailed Report and Recommendations

Our clients receive a detailed report outlining the situation, with images and descriptions of any issues discovered. We recommend repairs or maintenance and provide cost estimates for any necessary work.

Access Point Location

Our team identifies and opens the sewer system's main cleanout or access point. We ensure safe access and set up our equipment to protect the property while allowing for efficient inspection.

Real-Time Inspection and Documentation

As the camera travels through the sewer system, our technicians monitor the live feed on a high-resolution screen. We record the entire inspection and document any issues, including cracks, blockages, tree root intrusions, or pipe deterioration.

Comprehensive Analysis

After completing the inspection, our technicians review the footage with the client, explaining any problems found and showing them exactly where and what the issues are. We provide clear documentation of all findings, including video footage.

Follow-Up Planning

Based on our findings, the client chooses the most suitable option, and we develop a plan to address any issues discovered. Our team provides expert guidance for immediate repairs or preventive maintenance to achieve the best results.

Accurate Diagnosis

Video sewer inspection eliminates guesswork by visualizing the pipe's interior. Unlike traditional methods that rely on indirect signs, our HD cameras show exactly what's happening inside the sewer line. This precise diagnosis means that clients know the exact nature and location of any problems, ensuring that repairs target the real issue, not just symptoms.

Forget about destructive digging or disrupting your property. Video inspection requires only a small access point to examine the sewer system. There's no need to tear up your yard, break through walls, or disturb landscaping. Your property stays intact while we get all the information about your sewer line's condition.

By identifying problems accurately the first time, we avoid costly trial-and-error repairs or unnecessary work. Video inspection can be completed in just a few hours, and the precise diagnosis means the solutions are targeted and efficient. Our technology helps prevent expensive emergency repairs by catching issues early, potentially saving you hundreds of thousands in the long run.

Regular sewer inspections help us stay ahead of potential problems. Our clients can plan repairs on their schedule and budget by detecting minor issues before they become major emergencies. This proactive approach helps prevent sewer backups, flooding, and other costly disasters that often occur at the most inconvenient times.

Knowledge is power, and video inspection gives us complete clarity about the sewer system's condition. Whether you're buying a new property, experiencing drainage issues, or want to ensure your pipes are in good shape, our detailed evaluation provides the confidence of knowing exactly what's happening underground. You'll have visual proof of your pipes' condition and can make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.
