Sort Your Drainage Problems Using CCTV

By Lee Davidson

Over time, drains and sewers, like all of us get older and in time will deteriorate and get worse. Walls can collapse, blockages can occur and the result is that you get drainage problems. The cause can be things like ground movement, intrusion from things like tree roots or it could be that the drains are simply badly constructed in the first place.better to know rather than guess at the root cause of problems underground

Drains run underground mostly. Stating the obvious I know but that means that you can't know for sure what is going on inside the pipe. The problem could be a blockage, or equally, a collapsed wall, a tree root intrusion, and also many other possible causes of the problem with your drains. Not knowing to me is not an option, better to know what you're dealing with so that preventative measures can be taken

Once these problems arise, it is vital to know exactly where they are and what you are dealing with. There are two types of camera systems that can be used , the Push Rod and the Crawler System. These two systems are different but do effectively the same job. The technical differences of the two systems should not bother you- leave this to the professionals

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
