The Role of CCTV Inspection in Sewer Maintenance
Let’s take a closer look at why CCTV inspections play such a vital role in sewer system maintenance, and how we’re using them to serve communities across the Rocky Mountain Region.
What Is a CCTV Sewer Inspection?
CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) inspections use specialized, waterproof cameras to visually inspect sewer pipelines from the inside. These cameras are attached to remote-controlled crawlers or push rods, navigating through the pipes while transmitting high-resolution video in real time.
It’s like sending a robot into the sewer—except it doesn’t come out covered in muck, and it gives us incredibly valuable data we can use immediately.
Why It Matters: The Benefits
1. Pinpoint Accuracy
CCTV inspections give us a live look at the condition of a sewer line. We can detect blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other problems right down to their exact location. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging—just clear, actionable insight.
2. Preventing Bigger Problems
Routine CCTV inspections are a cornerstone of preventative maintenance. By spotting small issues before they become costly repairs, we help municipalities and property owners avoid emergencies—and the budget-busting surprises that come with them.
3. Minimal Disruption
Because we don’t have to dig to inspect the pipes, there’s no damage to landscaping or infrastructure. That means less cleanup, less downtime, and happier residents or customers.
4. Full Documentation
Every inspection includes a full report with video footage and detailed notes. It’s a permanent record that can be used for maintenance planning, regulatory compliance, or just peace of mind.
