Have you ever wished you could just open up your pipes and see what’s going on down there directly? That may not be feasible, but a drain camera can accomplish nearly the same thing without causing any damage. No1PHD’s staff of trained professionals can use this equipment to find out exactly what is going on in the pipes inside and underneath your home.
A drain camera is just what it sounds like – a small video camera that can be inserted into a pipe using a drain as an entry point. Doing this allows the operator to record a pipe inspection video of what is in front of the camera as the device is pushed further and further into the plumbing system. Once enough footage has been recorded, the CCTV drain inspection camera can be reeled up again and taken out of the drain without any lasting effects on the plumbing whatsoever.
These devices can record and store several hours of video feed data, and some of them also have additional features like zoom functions or the ability to record notes that can be displayed alongside the video feed for further information. They can be used in residential, municipal and commercial settings alike; whenever you need a vantage point to see what’s going on inside a pipe, this piece of equipment can provide it.
So what specific situations should lead you to consider putting a drain camera down your pipes? Here are a few common instances where they are frequently used.
As useful as a drain camera can be, it’s important to remember that it is only a tool. Many hardware stores will rent one to any customer who asks for one, but that doesn’t mean that you will be able to achieve the same results with one that a professional could.
For a drain camera inspection to be effective, the user must be able to identify what type of problem the video feed indicates, decide on the best course of action to resolve it, and then put that solution into action. It won’t do you any good if you don’t know what you’re looking at. You need this tool to be used by a plumbing and drainage professional you can trust.
