Corrosion causes a myriad of problems like leaks or blockages that could lead to lasting damage. However, determining the exact location and nature of issue can be challenging.

What is it? CCTV Drain Inspection Does It Work

CCTV cameras enable us to conduct an internal inspection of the drain system with out the need for excavation work which could damage your yard or property.

The process is quite simple:

We insert a fiber-optic camera attached to a flexible cable into the drain.
The camera captures high-resolution images of the insides of your drain pipes which are then transmitted to our staff operating in our Control Center.
Our highly trained technicians utilize these images to pinpoint and identify any defects within the pipe, which includes corrosion.

Why Use CCTV Inspection?

Air pollution seismic activity, shifting soil, changing patterns of rain could all contribute to pipe blockages; therefore it is essential to quickly identify and address these issues before they grow. Here’s the reason why CCTV inspections are beneficial:
