Benefits of CCTV Drain Inspections

CCTV drain inspections are a proactive way to maintain the integrity of your drainage system, prevent costly future repairs, and ensure your property’s plumbing remains reliable. With a CCTV drain inspection and the information gathered, you can make an informed decision regarding required action and keep your drainage system functioning efficiently. Advantages of CCTV drain inspections include:

Accurate Problem Diagnosis - CCTV drain inspections provide a clear, real-time view of the inside of your pipes, allowing experts to pinpoint the exact cause of blockages, leaks, cracks, or root intrusions.

Non-Invasive - Unlike traditional methods that require digging or invasive procedures, CCTV inspections are entirely non-destructive, fast, and efficient.

Cost-Effective -  CCTV inspections help avoid unnecessary digging or trial-and-error repairs, and reduce the overall cost of fixing drainage issues.

Detection of Hidden Problems - CCTV inspections can uncover issues that may not be visible from the surface, allowing you to address them before they become major, costly repairs.

Clear Visual Evidence - The real-time footage captured during a CCTV drain inspection is often shared with you, providing clear visual evidence of the issue. After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report with footage and images of the inside of your drains. This documentation is valuable for future reference and can serve as a useful tool for any necessary follow-up work or insurance claims.

Prevents Future Blockages - Regular CCTV drain inspections can help identify vulnerable areas in your pipes, such as weak spots or early signs of damage.

Improves Long-Term Drainage Health - CCTV drain inspections help maintain the long-term health and performance of your drainage system, preventing recurring problems and improving the efficiency of your system.

 

The Process of a CCTV Drain Inspection

CCTV is a non-invasive and highly effective tool regularly used by our drainage plumbers. Our highly trained and experienced specialise in CCTV drain inspections to guarantee accurate results every time. The process includes:

1. Initial Assessment - The process begins with a thorough assessment of the issue you're experiencing.
2. Accessing the Drainage System - Identify an accessible point to insert the CCTV camera through a drain inspection chamber, manhole, or drainage pipe access point.
3. Camera Insertion - The camera is pushed through the pipes, allowing it to travel along the drainage lines while capturing real-time footage of the pipe's interior.
4. Live Footage and Inspection - As the camera moves through the drain it transmits live video footage to a monitor, allowing the technician to closely observe the condition of the pipes.
5. Marking Problem Areas - Areas of concern, such as blockages or damage, will be carefully noted and sometimes marked with the camera’s location.
6. Detailed Report Generation - The technician will compile a detailed report, including high-resolution video footage and photographs of the inside of your pipes, outlining the findings, highlighting any problem areas.
7. Recommendations and Solutions - Based on the findings you will receive a clear explanation of the issues and discuss possible solutions. If repairs or further investigation is required, they will recommend the most efficient course of action to fix the problem.
8. Follow-Up - If a follow-up is required the service will be scheduled to resolve the issue. The CCTV inspection helps ensure that the right solution is applied with minimal disruption and cost.
