2. One of the biggest fears about pipework is a blockage. For years and years, the
pipes will work tirelessly to remove water and waste from your building like
cylindrical silent heroes! But when you get a blockage it can be distressing,
disruptive, and potentially costly. Pipes are often buried beneath the ground, so
getting to them and finding the cause of the blockage can be really tricky.
3. CCTV pipe inspection takes all the worry away and has so many benefits to you
and your building that we thought we should share them with you.
4. Pipe Inspection uses very intelligent and versatile underground CCTV cameras to
detect problems in your pipes. The cameras used in CCTV pipe inspections can be
fed into pipes all of sizes and then give a full 360-degree view.
5. If there’s a crack, damage to the pipe,
tree roots growing through it,
residual fat, or any other reason for
your pipes being blocked, the camera
shows it up. This quickly shows the
operator the actual reason for the
block or problem. This means the
building owner can arrange for the
right repair or work to be carried out
in the right place.
8. Using a 360-degree camera to inspect your pipes gives you the view you really
need. No presumption is required. You get accurate data with which to make
decisions.
Problems in your pipes are therefore located and identified with great speed and
without any further damage to your pipes which is likely to save you time and
money on future repairs or unnecessary work.
9. An inspection gives you:
1. The accurate location of the problem, including the depth
2. Data that’s recorded and can be shared with other workers or contractors
3. The precise issue in no time at all.
11. Another great reason for a Pipe inspection is to take a look at your pipe work and
spot any issues that might be arising before they become a bigger problem.
There’s a lot that could go wrong with your pipe in its lifetime and keeping on
top of maintenance and having a clear view of what’s going on is important.
12. Some of the dangers to your pipes could be:
1. Grease and fat
2. Hair
3. Foreign objects
4. Toiletries and wipes
5. Tree leaves or roots
These are very normal and left untreated could well lead to bigger leaks and
problems.
Preventative repairs can be carried out thanks to the results of the filming and
this could save you a lot of future headaches.
14. Most of the time, with pipe investigation camera, once you spot a problem and
remedy it quickly you can save on the huge cost and upheaval of an excavation.
Without it though, one of the only ways to see what’s going on in your pipe is to
excavate a lot of them and see what’s going on.
15. This is going to cause a lot of work and unnecessary digging on your land.
Without the right data or guidance, you could find that the problem could be
hidden for a long time.
17. It inspects the entire pipe and therefore if there’s a problem, we’ll find it with
the camera. This then eliminates and guesswork and ensures we find the
actual problem for you and you get a one-time solution and fix to that
troublesome pipework.
18. It helps you avoid any unnecessary costs that come with incorrect diagnosis of
a problem in a pipe and leave you to pay for the problem, not the research!
20. It is gentle and non-invasive and saves causing more harm while you’re trying to
fix a problem. Many of the other alternatives will actually give you more
problems and if a pipe is under stress already it could give you more of a
problem.
Pipe inspections should be carried out by a professional who understands this
and does it without disrupting too much of the pipe in question.
22. We all like to do our bit for the environment and digging up the ground
when you don’t need to is not great.
Pipe inspections limit the excavation and sometimes save it all together,
saving your environment from being disturbed unnecessarily.
