Understanding CCTV Drain Inspections
At Blueys Plumbing & Gasfitting, we understand the importance of keeping your drainage systems in top condition. One of the most effective ways to do this is through CCTV drain inspections. This blog will explain what these inspections are, their benefits, and why you should consider them for your property.
What is a CCTV Drain Inspection?
A CCTV drain inspection involves using a small camera to inspect the inside of your pipes. This advanced technology allows plumbers to see precisely what's going on inside your drains without having to dig up your yard or disrupt your home.
The Benefits of CCTV Drain Inspections
- Accurate Diagnosis- CCTV inspections provide a clear view of the inside of pipes, helping us accurately diagnose any issues. Whether it's a blockage, crack, or other problem, our cameras can spot it quickly and precisely. 
- Cost-Effective Solution- By identifying problems early with a CCTV camera, our drain pipe inspection services can save money in the long run. Fixing minor issues before they become big problems can prevent costly repairs down the road. 
- Non-Invasive Method- One of the best things about CCTV inspections is that they are non-invasive. There's no need for digging or heavy machinery, which means less disruption to your property and daily life. 
What’s Involved in a CCTV Drain Inspection?
During an inspection, we use specialised cameras designed to navigate through pipes. These cameras are connected to monitors that display real-time images from inside the drains. After the inspection, we review all findings with you. We'll explain what we've found and recommend any necessary actions based on our analysis. Here's how a typical inspection works:
- 1. Preparation- We prepare by setting up our equipment at the access point. 
- 2. Inspection- The camera is inserted into the drain and guided through the pipes. 
- 3. Observation- As the camera moves along, it sends live footage back to our monitors. 
- 4. Analysis- We carefully analyse this footage to identify any issues. 
When Should You Consider a CCTV Drain Inspection?
There are several scenarios where a CCTV drain inspection might be beneficial:
- If you're experiencing recurring blockages.
- When buying a new property.
- After severe weather events that may have affected your drainage system.
