  2. 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!!
  3. 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.
