Types of CCTV Sewer Inspection
American Underground, Inc. is committed to providing our clients with high-quality inspection services, so we only use the best CCTV technology when conducting our inspections. We utilize our CCTV technology to perform many types of CCTV inspections, including mainline sewer inspection cameras and lateral sewer line inspection.
Our superior CCTV technology includes versatile, flexible, and compact cameras that enable the American Underground, Inc. team to identify the cause of sewer problems quickly. We use our CCTV sewer cameras to take incredibly high-definition, detailed images of even small pipe systems to identify the issue and determine the best solution on the spot. Our CCTV inspections quickly identify sewer problems without digging and prevent costly sewer line problems.
American Underground, Inc. also performs home inspections using CCTV technology to provide professional pipeline maintenance and inspection services. Our CCTV camera inspections can check your home’s sewer and pipe system to detect a wide range of sewer line issues, from root intrusion to cracks or obstructions such as sludge, grease, garbage, stones, and more. We are committed to tracking the health of your home’s pipes and preventing future property damage.
Mainline Sewer Camera Inspection
American Underground, Inc. mainline sewer cameras are lightweight and versatile to get the job done quickly and correctly. Our lightweight, compact wheeled unit can pull 1000 ft. while fitting into a 6” line with a pipe size range of 36”. The versatile unit traverses 45- and 90-degree bends in lateral services to quickly remove and insert wheelsets. It includes a fiberglass push cable with up to 150 ft. push cable.
The mainline sewer camera inspection uses cameras to capture high-quality video to find and identify challenging pipe conditions. The mainline sewer camera allows our professionals to pinpoint issues such as clogs, blockages, cracks, and obstructions in the pipe.
Lateral Sewer Line Inspection
Our lateral launch sewer inspection utilizes a lateral viewing camera system that is compact in length and inspects 6”-30” mainlines and 3”-8” lateral services. Mounted on the front is a pan and tilt zoom camera (40:1 Optical/Digital Zoom) that completes the mainline inspection and monitors a lateral camera. It articulates to facilitate inverted entry and automatically centers the image. The lateral camera includes a built-in auto upright feature that keeps the image stabilized at all times and can be quickly removed so the unit can be used as a mainline transporter with the front-mounted pan and tilt zoom camera.
CCTV Sewer Inspection Technology
Our camera systems have pan-and-tilt capabilities with directional lighting that can be inserted into pipes as small as 6” and up to 144”. Our equipment features 40:1 optical/digital zoom, autofocus, iris control, and remotely activated lighting. This latest technology ensures we capture high-quality images, no matter the conditions. Suppose a physical obstruction gets in the way of our camera system’s ability to travel through a pipe system. In that case, we can use our zoom feature to see objects further down the pipe with fantastic clarity.
Used in pipelines that measure 3” to 10” in diameter, American Underground, Inc.’s Mini-Push camera system features “self-uprighting” technology. It returns incredibly high-quality, detailed images of even small pipe systems. This camera can even pass through a short 90-degree turn or a single tee connection in a 4” pipe with the end connector and cable attached.
Additionally, we can track the camera’s location above ground via a specially designed sonde.
American Underground, Inc. can produce clear pictures with incredible detail, giving them an unmatched ability to assess their sewer and piping systems.
