The precise process of conducting a video pipe-inspection:

Upon getting a client’s request to locate a supposed sewer line leak which escapes normal over ground detection, our team reaches the site with our equipment and from the opening provided by a manhole drain cover or other inlet, insert an inspection rod which has a special camera attached to it.

The camera thus attached has high resolution and is attached to a recorder by a fiber optic cable for interruption-free high-resolution images. This camera is best suited for the job in terms of durability which means it is waterproof, shock and scratch resistant. In addition, the camera has a 360-degree swivel head to record pictures in every direction. The camera and cable on their part, are latched on to a motorized tray with small wheels which on its part is attached to a flexible cable which makes movements easy especially in tight spaces, turns and corners.

When turned on, the tray with the camera moves ahead while the camera sends live video footage of the entire sewer pipe from every angle. Our personnel above the pipe get clear video and still images of the conditions existing in the sewer line which include existing problems and potential ones. The footage thus received is stored on the computer to be shown to the home owner and to chart the future course of action. Also, the video pipe-inspection unit transmits its position relative to everything around it. Where it stops moving, and on the basis of the photographs it generates, our personnel can make a decision regarding the future course of action which could alternate between digging a hole and blasting the obstruction with jet spray.
