sewer drain camera
A sewer drain camera is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to provide detailed visual inspection of underground plumbing systems and pipelines. This sophisticated device consists of a high-resolution waterproof camera mounted on a flexible fiber-optic cable, capable of navigating through complex pipe networks ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter. The camera transmits real-time video footage to a monitor, allowing plumbers and technicians to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other potential issues without the need for excavation. Modern sewer cameras feature LED lighting for clear visibility in dark pipes, distance counters to pinpoint problem locations, and recording capabilities for documentation and future reference. The system often includes self-leveling technology that keeps the image upright regardless of the camera's orientation in the pipe. Additionally, many models come equipped with locating transmitters that help determine the exact position and depth of pipeline issues from above ground. This technology has revolutionized pipe inspection by enabling precise diagnosis of plumbing problems, leading to more accurate repairs and reduced restoration costs.
