Drain camera surveys allow local councils, authorities, and facilities to stay on top of drain maintenance with live feeds and accurate reporting of the interior pipe condition. This is the most effective way to identify and locate potential repair issues before excavation, repair, and pipe replacements.
At Drain Medics, we use a combination of drain camera equipment to access drains and sewer pipes for proactive maintenance and compliance regulations. Our state of the art drain cameras can be inserted into drain pipes of all lengths and diameters to pinpoint blockages, identify structural repairs, and assess the condition of piping infrastructure. These cameras provide live images, sharply defined pictures, and precise, shadow-free illumination.
This not only saves time and money but also allows you to formulate long term preventive maintenance programs and remedy potential risks before they develop into major issues. There’s no need to excavate to locate the source of the plumbing fault or wait until there’s a severe blockage or piping collapse before undertaking repair.
With a detailed overview of the drain and sewer pipes through CCTV drain camera inspections and real time WinCan reporting (available on our larger diameter tractor-cam surveys), we can help devise immediate solutions to drainage problems.
This takes the guesswork out of drain maintenance and helps local councils and authorities provide a better service to the community by minimising drainage issues with on-point strategies to keep drain pipes in good condition.
Drain problems are generally caused by tree root intrusions and displaced pipes due to ground movement, as well as grease, waste, and debris obstructions. While drain blockages can be prevented with routine high pressure drain cleaning, tree roots, ground movement, and other variables cannot be preempted.
This is why CCTV drain camera surveys are the most effective tool in drain and sewer maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, offering the benefits of:
Our CCTV drain inspections are backed by over a decade of industry experience and extensive knowledge of large scale plumbing systems. This provides error free information on the condition of the underground pipes to implement maintenance programs and prepare compliance reports.
We use a wide range of drain cameras for pipe inspections to deliver the most credible and accurate results. This ensures that every drain pipe corner and bend is inspected for a system-wide assessment to make informed decisions and streamline work processes.
Some of the different types of drain cameras we deploy include:
A push camera is generally used for pipe diameters ranging from 100 to 150 mm. These cameras can be deployed via drain openings of various types. The push camera’s compact size makes it perfect for negotiating tight bends and enclosed corners with ease and flexibility. They are equipped with:
Tractor cameras are deployed into large-diameter drains for CCTV drain camera inspections. They can move through the pipes until the source of blockage or fault is located, and provide an overall view of the entire pipe length for preventive maintenance. Tractor cameras are designed for larger diameter drainage systems, and provide a 360-degree view with a rotating head and pan and tilt camera.
A tractor camera:
Quick View Cameras are affordable, fast, and reliable, and can be used by a single operator to access sewer pipes. The powerful zoom camera can be deployed via an adjoining manhole to pinpoint obstructions and defects with colour images and videos. There’s no need to waste valuable resources on a CCTV van and crew as the camera can be operated at street level by a single user.
The Quick View camera provides:
We have a dedicated push camera for reclaimed water (stormwater that gets stored in tanks) to prevent cross-contamination from sewer cameras. We don’t use sewer cameras on services that transfer reclaimed water.
All our camera systems support WinCan Reporting software to collect detailed data for insights, budgeting, identifying trouble spots, maintenance plans, and compliance regulations. With diagrams, images ,and cloud integration to allow for team sharing and streamlining work processes, WinCan reporting allows you to manage and analyse data for sustainable drain maintenance solutions.
