Understanding the Camera Inspection Process

Most of the work done by the experienced technicians from SLB Pipe Solutions involves a sewer camera inspection in Bedford, IN at one time or another. If you’re new to the camera inspection process, keep reading to get a better feel for what you can expect when our trained local technicians arrive.

Getting Started

The first step we typically take with a sewer or drain inspection is to have a general idea of why we’re doing the inspection in the first place. If, for example, you’ve been experiencing frequent drain backups, we’ll perform a camera inspection to look for blockages or possible structural issues. Inspections can also be done to determine what approach to repair is most appropriate.

Performing the Inspection

The actual drain or sewer inspection is done by inserting the camera into the pipe that needs to be inspected. Attached to a flexible rod, the lighted camera is inserted into a cleanout, or existing access point. The images seen by the camera as it’s moved along the inside of the pipe are displayed on a monitor for the technician to view in real-time. The camera can be extended deep within the line, if necessary.

Benefits of Camera Inspections

The pipe inspection process is non-intrusive, and it’s something that can be done fairly quickly. Plus, the results are recorded for reference and review. Camera inspections also take the guesswork out of identifying potential sewer or drain line issues, which eliminates the need to do exploratory excavation. Lastly, video inspections can be done when work is completed to make sure everything is functioning properly.
