As time goes on, drains and sewers can deteriorate leading to possible structural problems. The cause for this deterioration can be a variety of different reasons from ground movement, root intrusions or simply poor construction. Whatever the reason for the problem, it cannot harm you by knowing what is going on under your property. CCTV is one way to be sure that you know what problems that you may have to face
The simple fact is that you cannot tell from above ground exactly what is going on with a drain that is underground. You need to know exactly what is going on- where the blockage is happening for example, so the best solution can be found. Blockages can be from many causes, organic or otherwise, they need to be removed and quickly so that problems don't worsen
CCTV is a way of solving this problem. CCTV or closed circuit television means that you can see inside the pipe and diagnose the exact problem. There are two types of CCTV system available, the crawler and the push rod systems. The physical and technical specifications and differences in these two systems should not bother you- just rest assured that they will find and solve the problems that you don't yet know about
The crawler system is used for drainage pipes over 150mm in diameter. Smaller drainage systems (less than 150mm) are diagnosed using the push rod system. Full, detailed reports are then compiled to show exactly what is wrong with the drain so you can then decide what is the best method of solving the drainage problem
The problems to look out for can stem from collapsed pipes , sumps in the line to tree roots etc, all of which can cause blockages. All surveys are written up and assessed on site then burned onto DVD and handed over to the customer with recommendations to fix the problems. If you want a CD or .mp3 as well then that will not be a problem, most companies will not do this for you though- check them out thoroughly
If you are planning to build and extension to a property, CCTV can be used for a build over survey. Basically, this is a survey of the drainage condition underground so that you can see the condition before building over them. If you bury a problem, it will be much more expensive in the future should problems arise in the future
