Why is CCTV surveying of drains important?
Friday, August 28th, 2009Drains are situated underground and are placed under roads and cannot be easily accessed. Drain systems are complex and need to be handled with a lot of care. The reason for any sort of blockage has to be found in order to solve the issue efficiently. Drain clogging is a serious problem and can pose a threat to the city’s safety and health.
A CCTV survey allows a complete view of the inside of the drain. With the help of CCTV, a comprehensive report is made. The report includes video footage of the drain and the reason for its clogging.
Drain maintenance which involves techniques such as drain jetting and root removal, drain repairs, lining and patch repair and de-scaling is performed only after a CCTV survey is done. A CCTV survey gives you an idea of what is happening inside a drain – the reason for clogging and the best method to employ to combat it.
For any physical damage, a CCTV survey is a must so that you can repair it without causing any further complications. Entangled roots can create a serious drain blockage and need to be cut and flushed away. Combating such a kind of tree root infiltration has to be done very carefully causing no damage to the lining inside the drain.
A CCTV survey can prove to be handy in solving any drainage issues.
