How to Inspect a Pipe or Sewer
You can start the inspection at the clean-out. The camera head is attached to a push rod. Simply insert the camera head with the push rod into the pipe system. It is useful if the inspection camera used has a camera head that can be rotated and tilted. This allows the walls of the pipe and branches to be inspected optimally.
You can watch the resulting image on a monitor while the push rod maneuvers the camera through the sewer. For quality assurance, it is helpful to record the camera inspection. The documentation of the visual inspection is not only important for you as the company carrying out the work. It is also interesting for customers to gain insight into their pipe system. For possible damage, the video recording also provides a good basis for analysis and the preparation of repair proposals.
Useful functions such as a position and angle display help to maintain orientation in the pipe. Since the course of the line is not always clear, the camera head can be located with a locator. This allows the position of the damaged area to be located quickly.
