sewer scope camera
A sewer scope camera is an advanced diagnostic tool designed for thorough inspection of residential and commercial plumbing systems. This sophisticated device consists of a flexible fiber-optic cable equipped with a high-definition camera and powerful LED lights at its tip. The camera streams real-time video footage to a monitor, allowing plumbers and property inspectors to visualize the internal conditions of pipes and sewer lines without destructive excavation. The scope can navigate through pipes ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter, capturing detailed imagery of potential issues such as cracks, root intrusion, blockages, or pipe deterioration. Modern sewer scope cameras feature self-leveling capabilities, ensuring the image remains upright regardless of the camera's orientation within the pipe. Many models also include built-in locating transmitters that help pinpoint the exact location of problems from above ground. The footage can be recorded and stored digitally, providing valuable documentation for property owners and maintenance records. This technology has revolutionized plumbing diagnostics by enabling precise, non-invasive inspections that save time, money, and prevent unnecessary excavation work.
