See what is affecting the line
A drain camera can help identify roots, obstructions and visible pipe-condition issues in the sections reached. Drain Kings also uses locating equipment to help identify the position and depth of a problem. The findings can guide a decision about clearing, cleaning or further assessment rather than treating each blockage in isolation.
Agree the inspection scope
Tell us the question you need answered and whether you require footage, written findings or location details. Access points, bends, debris and standing water can limit the inspection. Clearing may be needed first. CCTV shows the accessible interior visible at the time; it cannot guarantee the whole system is free of defects.
Common questions
Can CCTV identify tree roots?
It can help identify roots visible within the accessible line. A heavy obstruction may need clearing before the camera has a useful view.
Will every pipe be inspected?
Not necessarily. Access, layout, obstructions and visibility determine what can be reached. Ask which sections were inspected and whether anything limited the findings.
