FAQs About CCTV Drain & Pipe Inspection Services
If you have questions about CCTV drain & pipe inspection, our team is here to help you. Below, you can find answers to frequently asked questions, or feel free to give our team a call!
How Does CCTV Pipe Inspection work?
CCTV pipe inspection uses cameras to inspect the interior of pipes, helping to identify any blockages or damage. We can inspect pipes of all sizes and shapes using two cameras, Mainline and Push rod. This method is essential for drain tracing, locating and identifying any pipework issues, especially when figuring out how to fix drainage problems.
What type of camera is used during a CCTV drain and pipe inspection?
CCTV drain inspections use specialised cameras that can navigate the inside of drains and sewer systems. These cameras are typically mounted on flexible rods or tractor crawler units, allowing them to access hard-to-reach areas and capture clear, high-definition images of the internal pipework.
What are the Common Problems Detected by CCTV Drain Inspection?
- Blockages: Tree roots, grease, and other debris can cause blockages, leading to slow drainage and potential overflows.
- Corrosion: Over time, pipes can corrode, especially in harsh environments.
- Cracks and Leaks: These can lead to water damage, structural issues, and potential health hazards.
- Misalignments and Offsets: These can affect water flow and cause blockages.
- Infiltration and Inflow: These can contaminate water sources and lead to sewer overflows.
By providing clear, detailed video footage, these inspections offer an accurate diagnosis of the specific issue and its location within your drainage system.
Can CCTV drain and pipe inspections help prevent future blockages?
Absolutely! Regular CCTV inspections allow you to proactively identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems. By detecting early signs of damage, such as minor cracks or root intrusion, you can schedule timely repairs to prevent costly blockages and water damage.
How often should I arrange a CCTV drain inspection?
It depends on factors like your property’s age, pipe condition, and local climate. Generally, annual or biennial inspections are recommended, but if you notice slow drains or recurring blockages, schedule one sooner.
What happens after a CCTV drain inspection?
Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report with video footage of the pipe’s interior. If issues are found, our team will explain the problem and suggest solutions, like repair, replacement, or water jetting.
Can CCTV Pipeline Inspections Be Performed on Any Type of Pipeline?
Yes, CCTV inspections can be performed on most pipelines, including sewer lines, storm drains, water mains, and industrial pipes. The technology is adaptable to various pipe materials like PVC, cast iron, clay, and concrete. However, the feasibility of inspection can depend on factors such as pipe size, accessibility, and overall condition.
