Underground Sewer Pipe & Storm Line Inspection
Video Pipe Inspection
Video pipe inspection is a useful information gathering process that utilizes advanced CCTV camera equipment to inspect the inside of specific utility pipes. Sewer and storm drain lines are most frequently inspected with CCTV video cameras but any type of pipe can be inspected with available access, even large water lines can be inspected if the line is first de-pressurized and made accessible. Video Camera inspecting these utilities is typically conducted to investigate the utility pipe for damages or abnormalities such as: breaks, cracks bellies, blockages, corrosion, other damages and even tree roots. There are no other methods that can locate these internal pipe damages, only the proper video inspecting equipment will be able to collect this type of information. Different camera types are needed for different pipe size and we have all the proper equipment to get any job completed. No matter the pipe size or equipment used; video camera pipe inspection allows us to accurately pinpoint exactly where there are damages or anomalies in a pipe so you can avoid over costly repairs , collect information about the type of damage and proceed accordingly in a timely manner

Your Business Needs
GPR OneCall: Our Process
Sometimes knowing the location of a pipe isn’t enough, and a visual inspection of the pipe is required to investigate for defects, blockages, or bellies. This is especially important when dealing with sewer lines and sewer pipes. The CCTV video camera inspection in the hands of one of our experienced technicians can help discover the exact damage to the structural integrity of a pipe or sewer system.
Step 01
Call
Easily call and schedule with one of our knowledgeable office staff. Are you looking to inspect for damages or simply locate a difficult pipe location? Describe the scope of work and we can decide which tools are best needed for the job and if additional work would be necessary.
Step 02
Deploy
Our highly trained technicians excel at locating, accessing and video inspecting your proposed pipes. We will complete the work precisely and efficiently, making sure to gather as much information as possible on the pipe and other factors outside the scope that may affect result or our work.
Step 03
Deliver
Quickly receive results on site in the form of utility mark outs and verbal reporting of the work results followed by emailed deliverables in the form of a detailed report, videos of the pipe inspection highlighting important features or damages and field pictures.
Keep Sewer Lines & Storm Lines Clear
Sewer Video Inspection Tools
We have multiple video inspection tools to accommodate any pipe size or condition. Whether it’s inspecting a short run of a 4-inch diameter sanitary line using our push camera or hundreds of feet in a 3-foot diameter storm line using a camera crawler with an articulate camera head, we have the tools necessary to investigate.
In addition to recorded video footage data deliverables also include accurate pipe location above ground, the exact location of points of interest inside the pipe, pipe depth, diameter, total footage, and pipe junction and turn locations.
Our CCTV video camera inspection service or sewer camera inspection can also be paired with any of our other services to give you the most comprehensive information on all underground systems in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a video inspection company?
GPR One Call can offer cost effective solutions depending on the type of sewer system being inspected and if any additional services are required. Standard inspections are fixed, while pipes with an unknown damage or blockage location may have varying costs affected by length of inspection, pipe manufacturing, compliance, project engineering, and operations demand.
What problems can a CCTV inspection determine?
Camera inspection can help identify leaks, corrosion, compromises to pipe walls, and any other crucial details that can be detected visually inside a pipe. Usually within minutes of analyzing the data, our technicians are able to deliver an accurate assessment of the questionable line so clients can continue construction or find an alternative solution.
Is a CCTV inspection the same as a sewer camera inspection?
Yes, CCTV inspection is the same as a sewer line camera inspection , also known as a sewer video inspection.
What is the environmental impact of having your pipelines inspected by video?
Inspections such as these usually require little more than a small hole and pose minimal to no damage to the raw materials of your sewer lines or pipes. Typically, pipes can be accessed through cleanouts, valves, or other pre-existing pipe access points. Customers prefer methods such as sewer camera inspection or other methods of camera inspection as it’s one of the many noninvasive services offered and provides a clear picture of your sewer or pipes without compromising the pipeline.
Is there a type of pipe or drain that is not eligible for this type of visual testing?
Most drains and pipes are created with quality assets and should not experience any loss of efficiency through this type of inspection. A sewer line is an especially idea candidate for CCTV, typically known as a “sewer camera inspection”.
What is the inspections or operation process to use cameras in testing?
First, after transporting equipment to the job site, a scope and pipe location is established. In some instances, it is important for us to help discover which pipe or utility are experiencing the issue or where it is located. We can help in the determination of this factor by locating the pipe with our other locating equipment and techniques.
After this crucial first step is completed, our technicians can then assess the pipe for utility type and size to determine what camera tools best to use for the job. Storm sewers typically have a larger pipe diameter that require larger camera inspection equipment, such as a remote-controlled camera crawler, while sewer line camera inspections require smaller, push cameras systems.
Next the actual video inspection. We extend our camera into the pipe and begin inspection. Video is constantly recorded and saved. Information such as length of the camera inserted and camera depth are all automatically recorded as well, increasing the security of after job deliverables.
A safe working environment is our top priority when completing an inspection. In addition to strict PPE standards, our technicians complete their work with all health and safety factors in mind for both biological and environmental points of potential contamination. Equipment and work areas are well sanitized and properly cleaned after data is collected with our cameras.
Once the job is completed, we can deliver the information gathered to you in the form of videos and maps, indicating exactly where any damages or issues were encountered. Additionally, we can use our own knowledge and expertise in recommending you on how to address the issues uncovered during the camera inspection.
