Modern sewer systems, laid underground, often remain out of sight until serious problems arise. Blockages, leaks, pipe collapses - all of this can lead to flooding, unpleasant odors, soil contamination, and costly repairs. Fortunately, there is an effective and non-destructive diagnostic method that allows us to "look" inside sewer pipes and identify problems at an early stage - this is sewer system inspection using video surveillance. Drain Care Advocate offers high-quality sewer system video inspection services throughout Southern New Jersey and New Jersey, utilizing advanced technology and the expertise of qualified specialists.
Traditional diagnostic methods, such as excavation for visual inspection of pipes, require significant time, money, and effort, and also lead to landscape destruction. Video surveillance, on the other hand, offers numerous advantages:
• Non-Destructive Method: Video diagnostics does not require excavation, which preserves the integrity of your property and reduces repair costs.
• Accurate Diagnosis: High-resolution cameras allow you to see the smallest details of the internal surface of the pipes, identifying cracks, blockages, collapses, misalignments, and other damage that may be invisible when using other methods.
• Early Problem Detection: Video surveillance allows you to detect problems at an early stage, before they lead to serious consequences and costly repairs. Timely correction of minor defects can prevent major accidents.
• Saving Time and Money: Accurate diagnosis allows you to develop the most effective repair plan, avoiding unnecessary excavation and the cost of replacing entire sections of pipe when only local repair or cleaning is sufficient.
• Documentation of System Condition: The video recording of the inspection provides detailed documentation of the condition of your sewer system, which can be used for insurance purposes, when selling real estate, or for planning future repairs.
• Safety: Video surveillance avoids working in hazardous conditions associated with excavation and contact with sewage.
The process of video surveillance of sewer systems includes several stages:
1. Preparation: Before starting the inspection, Drain Care Advocate specialists conduct a preliminary inspection and determine access points to the sewer system, such as manholes, downspouts, or cleanout openings.
2. Camera Insertion: A specialized waterproof camera, equipped with lighting and a rotating mechanism, is inserted into the pipe. The camera is connected to a monitor and recording device, allowing the operator to see the image inside the pipe in real time.
3. Camera Control: The operator controls the movement of the camera through the pipe, inspecting the internal surface for damage, blockages, or other problems. Special sensors allow you to determine the exact location of defects.
4. Data Recording and Analysis: During the inspection, a video image is recorded, which is subsequently analyzed by specialists. Based on the results of the analysis, a detailed report is compiled, indicating the detected problems, their location, and recommendations for their elimination.
Sewer line camera inspection allows for the identification of a wide range of problems, including:
• Blockages: Accumulation of grease, dirt, hair, tree roots, and other debris can lead to partial or complete blockage of the pipe.
• Cracks and Breaks: Damage to pipes caused by corrosion, ground shifting, or external factors can result in leaks and soil contamination.
• Tree Roots: Tree root intrusion into pipes is a common problem, especially in older sewer systems. Roots can damage pipes and cause blockages.
• Pipe Misalignment: Pipe misalignment can occur due to ground settling, earthquakes, or other geological processes.
• Subsidence: Ground subsidence can lead to pipe deformation and the formation of cracks.
• Corrosion: Over time, pipes can corrode, especially if they are made of metal. Corrosion leads to the weakening of pipes and the formation of leaks.
• Improper Slope: An improper pipe slope can hinder wastewater flow and lead to blockages.
• Joint Defects: Poor-quality pipe connections can cause leaks.

Trenchless Pipe Relining: An Innovative Solution
If the video inspection reveals pipe damage that requires repair, Drain Care Advocate offers an innovative solution: trenchless pipe relining. This technology allows you to restore the integrity of pipes from the inside without resorting to costly and labor-intensive excavation.
The essence of the technology is as follows:
1. Pipe Preparation: The pipe is cleaned of blockages and buildup using specialized tools.
2. Liner Insertion: A flexible liner impregnated with a special resin is inserted into the pipe.
3. Liner Inflation: The liner is inflated inside the pipe, pressing against its walls.
4. Resin Curing: The resin is cured, forming a strong and airtight layer inside the pipe.
Advantages of Trenchless Pipe Relining:
• No Excavation: Minimal disruption to the landscape.
• Fast Completion: Significant reduction in repair time.
• Cost Savings: Reduced costs for restoring the area after excavation.
• Durability: The new liner is highly durable and long-lasting.
• Increased Pipe Capacity: The smooth inner surface of the liner improves wastewater flow.
