SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION
At Septic Tank Guy we employ cutting-edge sewer camera technology for precise and thorough sewer assessments.
What is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection is a process in which a small, high-resolution camera is sent into the sewer lines through a flexible cable. This allows the technician to view the inside of the pipes in real time on a monitor. It's often used to detect issues like blockages, tree root intrusion, cracks, or corrosion. The camera’s footage is recorded, providing a clear view of the problem area.
Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspections
Non-Invasive Diagnosis:
Traditional methods of inspecting sewer lines often required excavation, leading to property disruption and increased costs. Sewer camera inspections eliminate the need for digging by providing a clear view of the pipe's interior without external interference.
Accurate Problem Identification:
The real-time footage captured by the camera enables technicians to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the problem, whether it's a blockage, crack, or root intrusion. This precision ensures that only the affected areas are addressed, optimizing repair efficiency and minimizing costs.
Preventive Maintenance:
Regular sewer camera inspections can detect early signs of potential issues, such as minor leaks or developing blockages. Identifying these problems before they escalate can prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of the sewer system.
Documentation and Record Keeping:
The video footage from the inspection serves as a valuable record, allowing homeowners and technicians to monitor changes over time and make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.
The Sewer Camera Inspection Process
Preparation:
The technician identifies an appropriate access point to insert the camera, ensuring minimal disruption to the property.
Insertion and Navigation:
The camera is carefully fed into the sewer line, navigating through bends and joints to reach the area of concern.
Real-Time Analysis:
As the camera moves, the technician observes the live feed, assessing the condition of the pipes and identifying any issues.
Reporting:
After completing the inspection, the technician provides a detailed report, often accompanied by the video footage, outlining findings and recommending necessary actions.

Limitations of Sewer Camera Inspections
While sewer camera inspections are highly effective, they may not detect issues beyond the camera's reach or in areas with limited visibility. For instance, the presence of debris or water flow can obstruct the camera's view, potentially leaving certain problems undiagnosed.
Advancements in Sewer Inspection Technologies
Beyond traditional sewer camera inspections, advancements such as Electro Scan technology have emerged. Electro Scan Inc., for example, utilizes electric currents to detect leaks in non-conductive sewer pipes, offering a more comprehensive assessment of sewer integrity.Conclusion
Sewer camera inspections represent a significant advancement in plumbing diagnostics, offering non-invasive, accurate, and efficient assessments of sewer systems. By providing clear visual insights into the condition of pipes, these inspections facilitate timely maintenance and informed decision-making, ultimately preserving the integrity of the plumbing infrastructure.
