Our Sewer Camera Inspection Services

We take pride in performing all field inspections in-house, so we can ensure quality data is obtained and ready for our clients to use as soon as possible.

 

Unidentified sewer problems can cause serious issues such as inflow and infiltration, sewage backups, spills, overflows, as well as overall reduced capacity.

 

We specialize in a wide range of inspection services, including:

CCTV inspections

manhole inspections

Zoom inspections

mini TV inspections

We also provide other wet weather inspections to help identify, analyze, and remediate Inflow and Infiltration along with their associated system defects. In addition, we assist with construction assumptions where new sewers, laterals, and manholes require inspection and review to verify that the installation meets the design specifications before it can be accepted as a municipal asset.

 

Our drainage camera inspection services will help ensure that your sewers are running as they should be, as a drainpipe camera inspection can help identify root-cause issues that are impacting your sewer systems.

High-resolution Sewer Inspection Cameras

Are you curious about how our Sewer Cleaning process works? Here's a brief overview:

Assessment: We start by assessing the condition of your commercial sewer lines to determine the most suitable approach for your business.

High-pressure flushing: Utilizing high-pressure water jetting, we meticulously flush your sewer lines to remove blockages and buildup.

Thorough inspection: Following the flushing process, we conduct a meticulous inspection to ensure your sewer lines are clear and functioning optimally.

Preventive recommendations: Based on our assessment, we may recommend preventive measures or scheduled maintenance to keep your commercial sewer system trouble-free.

The Importance of Manhole Inspections

When a manhole fails, the results can be extremely costly. Municipalities and various organizations can pay thousands of dollars to fix or replace a manhole. There is also potential for fines and penalties if this failure affects residential or commercial operations.

 

In general, manhole inspections help municipalities identify and prevent three types of failures:

Blockages: When a manhole becomes blocked at the bottom or in a nearby pipe, sewage and other debris can overflow onto the pavement, potentially leading to hazardous conditions and damages to surrounding residential and commercial buildings.

Structural failures: Corrosion and erosion can wear away at manholes over time. When left unrepaired, a manhole can fail and turn into a dangerous sinkhole, which can shut down an entire street as repairs are made. These sinkholes are costly to repair, and they can negatively impact the entire surrounding area.

Leakage: When too much water enters the system, either via rainwater or groundwater, water treatment plants work extra hard, and this may necessitate upgrades or building a second plant. Both are costly choices, and they could even increase annual taxes for residents.

Regularly inspecting manholes can catch and prevent these issues from occurring.

Reasons for using Different Sewer Inspection Equipment

CCTV inspections are the ideal choice when:

you require precise and visual assessments of your underground infrastructure

access to the asset needing to be inspected is not an issue. Typically, access is on a street through a manhole or catch basin

in-depth analysis and reporting are needed for various condition requirements that need to be sent or submitted to engineering firms or municipalities

Zoom inspections are the ideal choice when:

you require a “bird's-eye view” of your underground infrastructure for accurate resource dispatching and allocation

non-invasive inspection methods are preferred

quick and efficient diagnostics are needed

you want to prevent costly repairs by identifying issues early

Mini TV inspections are the ideal choice when:

there is a smaller diameter pipe that requires inspections where traditional CCTV or Zoom inspections cannot be completed

an inside inspection is required within a residential or commercial building. These sewer laterals typically have much smaller diameter pipes as well as difficult-to-reach access points
