What Are CCTV Drain Cameras?
A closed-circuit television (CCTV) drain camera or plumbing camera is a diagnostic device we use to get accurate, real-time visual data of a plumbing or drainage system.
With a drain inspection camera, we can conduct a proper, thorough inspection of your system without any digging or excavation required.
A plumbing camera comprises the following parts:
-
Waterproof Camera - As the primary component of a CCTV drain camera, this special camera is impenetrable to water and not susceptible to water damage.
-
Access Rods - These are flexible rods connected to plumbing cameras and necessary for camera navigation.
-
Remote-Controlled Crawlers - These parts allow users to control the movement of the cameras inside drainage pipes.
-
Sondes Units - While a drain inspection camera can provide visual information, sondes units provide accurate locations of the issue and depths inside the drain pipe.
-
High-Intensity Lights - These lights provide the superior illumination necessary to get a clear visual of the plumbing or drain system.
Why Would You Need to Get a Drain Inspected?
Every household needs a well-maintained drainage system. Therefore, it’s important that you take the necessary steps to ensure your system is in tip-top condition. You need to be vigilant about signs of wear and tear or as most major drainage problems start out as simple and small issues.
If these small issues aren’t addressed immediately, they could get worse as time goes by and could turn into very costly repairs or a replacement project. To keep your drains in excellent condition, we recommend that you get your property drains inspected every three to five years to minimise the amount of times the repair process is required.
The problem, of course, is that most property owners don’t follow this advice and usually wait for issues to get worse before they report them. Avoid making this mistake by calling Tunnel Vision as soon as you notice something is amiss.
What Are Some Common Drainage Issues?
Common drainage issues you need to watch out for include:
-
Sluggish or painfully slow water flow
-
Water backflow
-
Collapsed pipes
-
A blocked drain or clogged drain
-
Tree root ingress
-
Strange or unpleasant odours emanating from drains
These problems don’t usually occur overnight and there are often underlying reasons as to why you might not have noticed. If such problems are detected early on, we can help save you money and from a lot of stress - which is precisely why regular drain inspections are crucial.
