CCTV Sewer Inspection
At Bob Robinson & Son Construction, we leverage cutting-edge technology to provide precise and comprehensive CCTV sewer inspection and manhole inspection services. Our CCTV inspection services utilize state-of-the-art equipment to deliver accurate diagnostics and evaluations. Whether you're a municipality, contractor, or business owner, our CCTV inspections are designed to ensure the reliability and performance of your underground systems. For sewer inspection cameras, call us to arrange a detailed site evaluation.
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Services
We take pride in performing all field inspections in-house, so we can ensure quality data is obtained and ready for our clients to use as soon as possible.
Unidentified sewer problems can cause serious issues such as inflow and infiltration, sewage backups, spills, overflows, as well as overall reduced capacity.
We specialize in a wide range of inspection services, including:
-
CCTV inspections
-
manhole inspections
-
Zoom inspections
-
mini TV inspections
We also provide other wet weather inspections to help identify, analyze, and remediate Inflow and Infiltration along with their associated system defects. In addition, we assist with construction assumptions where new sewers, laterals, and manholes require inspection and review to verify that the installation meets the design specifications before it can be accepted as a municipal asset.
Our drainage camera inspection services will help ensure that your sewers are running as they should be, as a drainpipe camera inspection can help identify root-cause issues that are impacting your sewer systems.
High-resolution Sewer Inspection Cameras
At Bob Robinson & Son Construction, we employ advanced sewer inspection cameras to assess underground infrastructure without excavation. These camera systems provide detailed visuals inside pipelines, enabling thorough inspections of sewer conditions.
Our process includes:
-
deploying robotic crawler cameras for internal pipeline views
-
recording video in real time to monitor structural conditions
-
identifying cracks, root intrusion, sediment, and obstructions
-
creating visual logs for maintenance planning and compliance
-
supporting accurate mapping of sewer networks
We aim to assist municipalities, engineers, and contractors by delivering reliable, clear footage and detailed reporting to support infrastructure assessments.
The Importance of Manhole Inspections
When a manhole fails, the results can be extremely costly. Municipalities and various organizations can pay thousands of dollars to fix or replace a manhole. There is also potential for fines and penalties if this failure affects residential or commercial operations.
In general, manhole inspections help municipalities identify and prevent three types of failures:
Blockages: When a manhole becomes blocked at the bottom or in a nearby pipe, sewage and other debris can overflow onto the pavement, potentially leading to hazardous conditions and damages to surrounding residential and commercial buildings.
Structural failures: Corrosion and erosion can wear away at manholes over time. When left unrepaired, a manhole can fail and turn into a dangerous sinkhole, which can shut down an entire street as repairs are made. These sinkholes are costly to repair, and they can negatively impact the entire surrounding area.
Leakage: When too much water enters the system, either via rainwater or groundwater, water treatment plants work extra hard, and this may necessitate upgrades or building a second plant. Both are costly choices, and they could even increase annual taxes for residents.
Regularly inspecting manholes can catch and prevent these issues from occurring.
Reasons for using Different Sewer Inspection Equipment
CCTV inspections are the ideal choice when:
-
you require precise and visual assessments of your underground infrastructure
-
access to the asset needing to be inspected is not an issue. Typically, access is on a street through a manhole or catch basin
-
in-depth analysis and reporting are needed for various condition requirements that need to be sent or submitted to engineering firms or municipalities
Zoom inspections are the ideal choice when:
-
you require a “bird's-eye view” of your underground infrastructure for accurate resource dispatching and allocation
-
non-invasive inspection methods are preferred
-
quick and efficient diagnostics are needed
-
you want to prevent costly repairs by identifying issues early
Mini TV inspections are the ideal choice when:
-
there is a smaller diameter pipe that requires inspections where traditional CCTV or Zoom inspections cannot be completed
-
an inside inspection is required within a residential or commercial building. These sewer laterals typically have much smaller diameter pipes as well as difficult-to-reach access points
