Many drainage problems are not visible from the surface. Pipe camera inspection is the only way to see what is really happening inside the pipe, without opening anything up.
It is a check that gives a clear answer to questions that would otherwise stay unanswered, such as exactly where a fault is and how serious it is.
The symptoms
Recurring blockages at the same point, slow drainage that persists despite cleaning, unpleasant smells around manholes, and damp patches or ground settlement above the pipe route are all signs that justify a camera inspection.
The same applies before buying a property or before renovation work, when you want to know the real condition of the drainage system before taking on any commitment.
Another sign is a rise in water use with no obvious cause, which can point to a leak in a section of the system that is not visible.
All of the above are good reasons to ask for a camera inspection before the problem develops into a full blockage or damage that would be harder to deal with.
What the camera records
The colour camera has a length counter and records the position and depth of each fault precisely. It picks up cracks, displaced joints, root intrusion and points where the pipe has narrowed due to build-up.
The whole run is recorded, so we get a complete picture of the system and not just the point where the problem appeared.
Recording is done through the existing manhole, with no need for any ground opening to carry out the check.
The clarity of the footage lets us tell a simple build-up apart from a genuine structural fault, which shapes how we proceed from the outset.
Why it comes before repair
No repair starts without a prior camera inspection. Without it we would be repairing blind, risking working on the wrong spot or missing a second fault further along the pipe.
The camera footage determines whether pressure cleaning is enough, whether a local no-dig repair is needed, or whether the damage calls for a different approach.
This avoids unnecessary work, since we know in advance exactly what needs to be done and at which point in the system.
What you get
After the check we tell you the exact position and depth of each fault, along with the recommended solution. Access is always through the existing manhole, with no opening of road or yard.
That way you decide with a full picture of your system, before committing to any work.
