Drain cameras provide a view into the depths of your sewer and drainage. Equipped with integral LED lights, drain cameras project light over the camera lens to illuminate the piping. This enables the operator to observe clear images of the state of the pipe walls and the internal workings of the pipes.
Used with a fiber optic cable, the camera transmits real-time video images on the screen for accurate inspection of the magnetic issues.
Our drain camera service includes recording your footage. This information can be invaluable when leasing or selling your property, in need of repair estimates, or in the case of an insurance claim.
There is more to a drain camera that may not be visible. Since drain pipes are often not visible to the eye, it is through video inspection using a drain camera that many problems can be accurately assessed.
Our technology also allows for cleaning of these challenges as part of our standard services.
