As time goes on, drains and sewers can deteriorate leading to possible structural problems. The cause for this deterioration can be a variety of different reasons from ground movement, root intrusions or simply poor construction. Whatever the reason for the problem, it cannot harm you by knowing what is going on under your property. CCTV is one way to be sure that you know what problems that you may have to face
Clearly the fact that a drain runs underground means that you cannot see what is going on inside it. You really do need to know what is going on inside the drain or you could end up solving the wrong problem. Knowing as opposed to guessing means that you get the best possible chance of the best and cheapest solution to your drainage problem
Once you know that you have a drainage problem, there are a couple of ways that you can diagnose the problem. Using CCTV, there are two systems available to you. These are the push rod and also available is the crawler system. The push rod and the crawler system are both available through reputable drainage specialist- better perhaps to know that they are available so you can ask your drainage contractor which they carry. They should carry both systems
The Crawler is used for larger lines 150mm upwards and the push rod is used for smaller lines 150mm downwards. By using this technology, comprehensive reports can be provided which show the condition of the drains underground. If the drains are in good shape, the very worst that has happened is that you now have peace of mind- a wonderful thing in my humble opinion
When using CCTV, there are several problems that an experienced operator can pick up. Collapsed pipes can look very similar to blockages. Tree root intrusion can also be picked up on the screen but the thing that all have in common. Surveys are then written up following assessment and they are then burned on to DVD with recommendations to solve the problems
CCTV Surveys are also used for Build Over Surveys ( for example when building an extension on your home) or for a Homebuyers Report ( to assess the quality of the drainage in a home you intend to buy ). Avoid problems in the future by commissioning a build over survey first rather than last - 30517
