PIPE INSPECTION

Leak detection and pipe inspection has never been easier than with our video camera inspection system.
Our technicians use video inspection in conjunction with our radio detection equipment to find all types
of line leaks, clogs, and breaks. Our process, depending on the project, can look like this; we send in a
camera on a reel, visually locate the break or leak, use radio detection to locate the path of the pipe,
and then energize a sonde transmitter on the camera head to determine the precise location and depth
of the problem or leak in the pipe. Our video inspection equipment allows our certified technicians to
not only find leaks accurately, but also extremely quickly as the display tells us the exact footage of
camera within the pipe. In addition to being able to view the damage in real time, we can record the
findings on a DVD and provide a copy to the customer for later use or to share with others. This
innovative pipe inspection system allows for immediate results and saves you time and money, whether
on a large construction site or in a single family home.

VIDEO INSPECTION

The key piece of equipment we use during leak detection is the multi-angle camera snake. This allows
the technician to manually articulate the camera to better view problems and leaks in tight spaces.
Couple this camera snake with our radio detection, ground penetrating radar, and acoustic leak
detection (what we use to locate slab leaks) equipment.
Video camera inspection allows us to get a very clear picture of the problem without doing extensive
damage to the problem area while searching for the true location of a leak or break. With our
unsurpassed quality and field-proven reliability, our certified technicians are your solution providers.
