CCTV Pipe Inspection
Internal camera inspection for drains, sewers and pipelines to identify cracks, roots, blockages, displaced joints and pipe defects.
The Problem We Solve
Drain and sewer problems often repeat because the real cause is hidden inside the pipe. A blockage may be caused by roots, grease, collapsed sections, broken joints, poor gradient, foreign objects or structural failure. Without camera inspection, the repair plan is guesswork.
HydroTrace Solution
A CCTV pipe inspection places a camera into the pipe to visually inspect and record the internal condition. This allows HydroTrace to identify the cause of the problem before cleaning, relining or replacement is recommended. It is especially useful before and after pipe relining.
Our Step-By-Step Process
- Access the pipe through an inspection opening, manhole, cleanout or drain point.
- Clean the line first if heavy debris prevents camera access.
- Push or drive the camera through the pipe while recording key defects.
- Identify cracks, roots, displacement, grease, sags, collapse or blockages.
- Report findings and recommend cleaning, repair, relining or maintenance.
Why This Matters
- Shows the real internal pipe condition
- Helps prevent repeat blockages
- Supports relining design and repair planning
- Provides video evidence for owners and managers
- Reduces unnecessary excavation
Best For
- Blocked drains
- Sewer lines
- Commercial kitchen drainage
- Pre-purchase property checks
- Pre-relining inspection
- Post-repair verification
CCTV Pipe Inspection FAQs
When should I book CCTV pipe inspection?
Book inspection for recurring blockages, bad smells, slow drains, suspected pipe damage, root intrusion or before relining.
Does the pipe need to be cleaned first?
If the camera cannot pass through because of grease, roots or debris, cleaning or jetting may be required before the inspection.
Can CCTV find leaks?
CCTV can identify visible defects and infiltration signs, but pressure testing or other leak detection methods may still be needed for pressurised lines.
