No Dig Pipe Inpection: How Sewer Pipe Video Cameras Work

Sewer Pipe Video Cameras

Whether you have had an ongoing sewer draining issue or you experience continuous blockages, the best way to remedy sewer pipe problems once and for all is a thorough sewer pipe inspection. In some cases, this can be a seriously costly endeavor which can include digging up the entire piping system to find the problem.

But there is another way, developments in CCTV technology have allowed contractors the ability to inspect your sewer pipe system, sans costly digging. This innovative sewer inspection camera system can pinpoint the exact location of your sewer pipe problems.

How Sewer Pipe Video Cameras Work

At Vactone, we use digital imaging inspection cameras to detect problem areas within your piping system. The process begins by inserting a small camera into the sewer piping system using cabling. The camera can be placed in the system through a storm water line or your sewer. As the camera system travels through the pipe, images are sent to a monitoring system in real time, providing technicians with an in-depth look at your entire sewer pipeline. As these images are reviewed by our technicians, the exact location and cause of blockage can be determined and assessed. This process effectively takes the guess work out of remedying sewer pipe problems.

Once this information is reviewed, our experts can pinpoint the area which needs repair and decide whether pipe jetting or pipe replacement is required. Most common issues can include pipe breaks, pipe sag, sludge obstruction, and offset joints. No matter the issue, once found, the technicians will dig only where necessary to repair it. If pipe jetting is the answer, this type of trench-less repair can be performed to fix the issue without digging.
