Sewer Camera

A sewer camera, also known as a pipe inspection camera or drain camera.

Key Features of Sewer Cameras:

  1. Camera Head:
    • Equipped with a small, waterproof camera that can be inserted into pipes and sewer lines. The camera head often includes LED lights to illuminate the interior of the pipe for clear visibility.
  2. Flexible Cable:
    • Attached to a flexible, durable cable that can navigate through bends and turns within the piping system. The length of the cable varies, allowing for inspection of both short and long distances.
  3. Monitor:
    • Includes a monitor or display unit that shows real-time video footage captured by the camera, enabling operators to see inside the pipes without direct access.
  4. Recording and Storage:
    • Many sewer cameras have recording capabilities, allowing users to save video footage and images for later review and documentation.
  5. Self-Leveling Camera:
    • Some advanced models feature a self-leveling camera that keeps the image upright regardless of the camera’s orientation, providing a consistent and clear view.
  6. Push Rod or Motorized System:
    • Depending on the design, the camera may be pushed manually through the pipe using a push rod or motorized for easier navigation, especially in longer or more complex pipe systems.

Applications of Sewer Cameras:

  1. Plumbing and Drainage Inspections:
    • Used by plumbers to diagnose problems such as blockages, leaks, and structural damage within residential and commercial plumbing systems.
  2. Municipal Sewer Maintenance:
    • Employed by city and municipal workers to inspect public sewer lines and storm drains, ensuring proper maintenance and identifying areas needing repair.
  3. Construction and Building Maintenance:
    • Utilized in new construction to verify the integrity of newly installed pipes and during building maintenance to troubleshoot plumbing issues without extensive disruption.
  4. Real Estate Inspections:
    • Conducted as part of pre-purchase inspections to assess the condition of a property’s plumbing system, providing potential buyers with valuable information.
  5. Industrial Applications:
    • Applied in industrial settings to inspect and maintain large-scale piping systems, including those used in manufacturing plants and chemical processing facilities.
