Video inspection for sewers, drains and mainlines can be a useful tool in plumbing. It is not enough to know that you have a leak. Locating it and assessing the depth of the problem there is the main issue.
Sewer inspection cameras are made of specialized fiber optic that allows you to see within the depths of your plumbing lines and assess the condition. A flexible rod with a high-resolution color video camera on its tip is inserted into the pipe for inspection. Video images are transmitted to the camera operator and can be saved onto a videotape for a permanent record. Radio transmitters on the camera record the depth and physical location from the surface so that defects and obstructions can be corrected cost effectively.
