CCTV (closed circuit television) is well known for its use in public areas, to deter crime and to catch speeders. However, a CCTV camera is simply a video camera that sends an encoded, digital signal to a screen, computer or recording device. CCTV cameras have many uses, and one of them is to diagnose problems in drain pipes.
In a CCTV drain inspection, a compact camera is inserted into the piping system, and a visual inspection is performed inside the pipes. This can detect:
- Full and partial blockages
- Leaks and breaks in the pipes
- Improper pipe slopes
- Bad connections
- Inadequate capacity
If the problem is with the system’s design or installation, then we may need to dig up the pipes in order to fix the system. If a section of pipe is damaged, then we can pinpoint the location using the CCTV technology, and we’ll only need to dig in the immediate area of the repair. If the cause of the drainage problem is a fully or partially blocked pipe, then often it can be cleared by water jetting.
