What Is Pipe Camera Inspection?

Pipe and drain camera inspection is exactly what it sounds like: a camera goes into the pipe, and you see what is in there. No guessing, no digging blind, no assuming. A trained technician deploys the camera, records the footage, and gives you a clear picture of what is going on — blockages, cracks, root intrusion, deterioration, or a clean bill of health.

Camera inspection is how you prevent drain emergencies, document condition before and after construction, satisfy municipal reporting requirements, and make repair decisions based on real information instead of estimates.

Our Equipment

Two Types of Camera — Right Tool for the Pipe

We run two different camera systems depending on the pipe size and what you need documented.

Push Rod Camera

A flexible rod with a camera head, deployed manually through a cleanout or drain access. Used for smaller diameter pipes — typically 2 to 8 inches. Fast to set up, great for residential laterals, smaller commercial drains, and quick diagnostics. Produces exportable video documentation.

Best For

Residential drain systems
Pre-purchase inspections
Smaller commercial lines
Quick blockage identification

Crawler Camera

A self-propelled robotic crawler unit with an HD camera, driven remotely through the pipe. Built for large-diameter pipes — 8 inches and up — including culverts, storm drains, and municipal infrastructure. GPS-tagged footage. Produces NASSCO-standard inspection reports accepted by engineers and municipal agencies.

Best For

Municipal storm and sewer systems
Large commercial drainage
Pre- and post-rehabilitation inspections
Infrastructure condition assessments requiring formal documentation

NASSCO-Standard Reporting

For municipal and infrastructure projects, we produce NASSCO-standard inspection reports. NASSCO (National Association of Sewer Service Companies) is the industry standard for pipe condition assessment. These reports are the format engineers, municipalities, and project owners recognize and require. If your project needs formal documentation, we have the equipment and the process to produce it.
