What is a CCTV Drain Survey in Sandwell?
A CCTV drainage evaluation evaluates drainage systems using cutting-edge control camera technology that records videos and other important information that can be used to identify drainage issues.
To check for damage, you must insert a camera into your drainage system. We can identify problems more quickly and precisely with the use of a CCTV camera system, allowing us to successfully complete repairs.
Types of CCTV drainage camera systems in Sandwell
The two main camera types that could be utilised for your CCTV drain examination in Sandwell are robotic crawlers and push CCTV drainage cameras.
An automated crawler camera is managed by a panel inside a specialised truck. The camera is housed in a robust shell, and all it needs to move through the pipe is an electric motor to propel its wheels. Due to technological advancements, these cameras can now be found in a variety of diameters, from 150mm to 2000mm. HD-quality video can also be captured thanks to LED lighting upgrades. Our cameras’ articulating arms, rotating camera heads, and zoomable lenses enable us to precisely identify what is actually causing the clogged drains.
A push CCTV drainage camera is more usually employed when a pipe has a smaller surface area, is vertical, or perhaps contains curves that are difficult for a robotic crawler to operate. These cameras come with flexible rods that may be moved along the pipe by the user and are kept on a little reel. To monitor the camera’s movement, a monitor is placed above the reel. These cameras also include LED lights to see inside the pipe and find problems.
What type of issues can a CCTV drainage survey find in Sandwell?
A CCTV inspection can be used to quickly, discreetly, and affordably identify drainage problems, such as minor obstructions in the drain that can be quickly fixed or significant collapses of the drain or pipe that need to be attended to right away.
With the help of our CCTV drainage study, the following problems will become clear, which you can then address and take into account in a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme to keep your drains operating for years to come:
- Blockages
- Scale Build Up
- Signs of poor installation or displacement
- Corrosion
- Wear and Tear
- Leaks
- Displaced joints
- Cracked and collapsed drains
Note: Sometimes it is necessary to jetter wash the drains before a CCTV scan in order to clean the pipe and check to see whether the pipes are damaged when they are scaled up.
CCTV Drain Surveys and Extensions Sandwell
When adding on to your Sandwell house, drainage must be taken into account since it may be impacted. For instance, if your addition spans or is situated close to a public sewer, the local sewage undertaker may need to approve it. In addition, pipes may be damaged if a building is built over an existing drain or sewer, resulting in leaks, blockages, odors, and possibly even health issues and environmental harm. Using our technologies, we can accurately simulate the existing drainage system and determine whether any upgrades are required prior to the construction of the extension.
CCTV Surveys and Moving House in Sandwell
When moving into a new home, for example, you might want to think about getting a CCTV inspection. You might be able to see any drainage issues with the home before making a purchase if you have the opportunity to bargain with the sellers to have any flaws fixed. Since you would own the property and be in charge of handling any issues, this might be preferable to buying the property outright and waiting for issues to arise. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange a drain inspection so that we can look into any problems.
