A CCTV (closed-circuit television) camera can be used for many purposes, but you are probably most familiar with the technology in security cameras. The same technology enables water and sewer service providers to access subterranean pipes and sewer systems. From 70mm to 3m in diameter, remote access and video streaming to the monitoring station are possible. High-tech cameras can detect pipe faults and deterioration in any condition. Then we diagnose the issue and plan for no-dig pipe repair option or the pipe relining.

A CCTV pipe inspection can find blockages, leaks, and pipe damage that regular cameras can’t reach. Many homeowners and businesses are unaware of concealed pipe issues caused by degradation, incursion, or weather. A cctv pipe Is the best instrument for finding and fixing leaks in sewer and water systems.

Depending on the issue, this could include structural damage such as a crack, leak, or collapse, or it could be something non-structural such as a blockage that needs to be cleared. It’s difficult – if not impossible – to know exactly what damage has occurred and whether the pipeline will require remedial work to restore it to a good state of repair for the future unless you take a closer look.

The added benefit of knowing what corrective action or maintenance is required is that you can better control costs and obtain quotes tailored to the specific scheme of work involved. We have state of the art CCTV pipeline inspection cameras at Sewer Surgeon that allow us to see damage and blockages that occur far below ground without excavating the pipeline.

CCTV is a very cost-effective inspection method and there are a number of reasons for this, including:

• No costly or time-consuming excavation is required
• Problems are located, identified and solved quickly, thereby reducing costs and increasing productivity
• Preventative repairs can be done as a result of the information collected by the camera
• Minor faults can be sorted out before they turn into expensive, major issue
• Identifies issues accurately the first-time, thereby avoiding unnecessary costs involved with incorrect diagnosis of a problem

 In addition to the cost savings, here’s a brief summary of a further six benefits of this easy-to-use yet highly specialised technology:

• Completely non-destructive
• Fast and precise
• Pinpoints accurate location (including depth) of problem
• Incorporates fully integrated software which enables real-time results and decision-making as well as recordable data for future use/referencing
• Easy to operate
• Environmentally friendly
