Pipe Inspection
Municipal Pipe Tool Co., LLC has been televising pipelines since the 60's. We are now using the latest technology in TV equipment. Use Municipal Pipe's color TV to inspect your sewer pipes.

  1. BEFORE YOU PAVE ANOTHER STREET!! A spot repair under new paving can cost thousands. Televising assures structural integrity of your sewer pipes and locates trouble before you pave at a fraction of the cost.
  2. LOCATE POINTS OF INFILTRATION/INFLOW!! Several leaks located and repaired, either by internal sealing or excavating, can save thousands in treatment or pumping costs. Making televising a quick cost effective answer to your I and I problem sources.
  3. BEFORE ACCEPTANCE OF A NEW SEWER!! Simple air testing, flow measuring and lamping are not sufficient to locate sags or low spots which will cause excessive sedimentation, grease buildup and eventual blockage. You are also provided with accurate location of service entries, transitions, open joints and a multitude of other potential problems on permanent record and video tape. It's low cost insurance for a proper new sewer installation!!
  4. LOCATE TROUBLE SPOTS!! Most sewer stoppages are caused by defects in the pipeline. No longer is there a need to dig blindly for these problems!!
SEWER LINE TELEVISION INSPECTION

After cleaning, the manhole sections shall be visually inspected by means of closed circuit television equipment. The inspection will be done one manhole section at a time and the flow in the section being inspected will be suitable controlled.

The television camera used for the inspection shall be one specifically designed and constructed for such inspection. Lighting for the camera shall be suitable to allow a clear picture of the entire periphery of the pipe. The camera shall be operative in 100% humidity conditions. The camera, television monitor, and other components of the video systems shall be capable of producing picture quality to the satisfaction of the customer.

The camera shall be moved through the line at a moderate speed, stopping when necessary to permit proper documentation of the sewer line conditions.

Documentation of television results include:

  1. Television inspection logs: Printed records are given to the customer and clearly show the location in relation to an adjacent manhole of each infiltration point observed during the inspection. Other points of significance such as locations of lateral connections, unusual conditions, roots, broken pipe, presence of infiltration scale and corrosion and other discernible features will be recorded.
  2. Photographs: At the request of the owner, photographs of the television picture of problems shall be taken and included with the inspection logs sent to the customer. Video images can also be captured from the screen and printed as part of the report.
  3. Videotape recordings: The purpose of tape recording is to supply a visual and audio record or problem areas of the lines that may be replayed.
  4. Completely computerized reports on CD, PACP Certified


LATERAL INSPECTION - Your Total Inspection Solution

Now before you do another street paving project have the main sewer and all the connecting laterals inspected all at one time.



The lateral inspection system shall enable a closed circuit television system operator to simultaneously perform mainline and lateral inspections from a single, fully integrated unit. The system shall utilize a picture-in-picture format enabling the operator to view mainlines and also launch and inspect adjacent lateral lines. The system shall display mainline footage as well as lateral footage on the viewing screen for use with data collection/inspection software. The system shall inspect main lines from 6”– 30” and lateral lines from 4”– 8”. The lateral camera shall launch and extend and retract at a maximum speed of 30’ per minute. The unit shall incorporate two high-resolution color cameras and be self-propelled via a tread drive transporter. The system shall allow lateral inspections of 80’minimum, at distances of up to 1,000’from a manhole. A single, auxiliary control box shall operate both cameras and the transport unit.
