Professional CCTV Sewer & Pipe Camera Inspections in Cape Breton

A CCTV sewer camera inspection uses specialized video equipment to visually inspect the inside of sewer lines, drain pipes, stormwater systems, and other underground infrastructure. The camera provides a real-time view of the interior of the pipe, allowing technicians to identify blockages, roots, cracks, damaged joints, deterioration, debris, and other potential problems without unnecessary excavation. 

A specialized camera is inserted into the sewer or drain line and travels through the pipe while transmitting video footage to the technician above ground. Depending on the size and configuration of the line, we may use a push camera or advanced robotic crawler camera equipment. The footage allows our technicians to examine the condition of the pipe and identify areas that may require cleaning, maintenance, or repair. 

A professional CCTV pipe inspection can help identify blockages, root intrusion, cracks, separated joints, collapsed or deteriorated sections of pipe, grease and sludge buildup, sediment, debris, foreign objects, and other conditions that may be affecting the drainage system. Camera inspections are also useful for documenting the general condition of underground sewer and drainage infrastructure. 

 Yes. CCTV sewer camera inspections can often identify visible pipe damage such as cracks, breaks, collapsed sections, separated joints, deterioration, and other structural concerns. The inspection can help determine where the problem is occurring so that the appropriate next steps can be considered. 

Yes. Our camera inspection equipment and locating equipment can help identify the location of a blockage, damaged section, or other concern within a sewer or drainage line or other system underground.

Yes. Root intrusion is often clearly visible during a CCTV sewer camera inspection. Roots can enter sewer lines through cracks, damaged connections, or separated joints and may eventually restrict flow or contribute to recurring blockages. A camera inspection can help determine the extent of visible root intrusion and whether additional cleaning or repairs may be required. 

A robotic crawler camera is a remotely operated CCTV inspection system designed to travel through larger sewer lines, storm drains, pipelines, and underground infrastructure. The crawler moves through the pipe while capturing detailed video footage, allowing technicians to inspect areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access.

Robotic crawler inspections are particularly useful for municipal, commercial, and industrial pipe inspections where detailed condition assessments and visual documentation are required.

A push camera is manually fed through a pipe and is commonly used for smaller sewer and drain lines. A robotic crawler is a motorized, remotely operated camera system capable of travelling through larger or more complex pipelines under its own power.

The appropriate camera depends on the diameter, length, configuration, and accessibility of the pipe. Pipe Eyes has multiple inspection technologies available so we can select the equipment best suited to the project.

Not always. However, excessive grease, sludge, sediment, standing debris, or other buildup can obstruct the camera's view and make it difficult to properly assess the condition of the pipe. When necessary, we may recommend high-pressure drain jetting before the CCTV camera inspection to provide a clearer view of the interior of the line. 

Yes. KDR Industrial Services provides both high-pressure drain jetting and CCTV sewer camera inspections. If buildup or debris is preventing a clear inspection, we can clean the line before performing the camera work. Combining drain jetting and CCTV inspection can provide a much more complete picture of the condition of your sewer or drainage system. 

Yes. Depending on the type and scope of the CCTV inspection, we can provide video footage and inspection documentation detailing the condition of the pipe and any concerns identified during the inspection. Documentation requirements can also be tailored for commercial, industrial, or municipal projects where formal inspection records are required. Inspection reports are provided for all septic inspections. 

 A sewer camera inspection can provide valuable information about the condition of the property's sewer lateral before you purchase a home. Problems such as root intrusion, damaged pipes, separated joints, deterioration, or existing blockages may not be visible during a standard home inspection.

Having the sewer line inspected can help identify potential concerns before they become unexpected repairs. This can be particularly valuable for older properties or homes with a history of sewer or drainage problems.
