A crawler camera drain survey is the most effective way to identify recurring problems. But with multiple camera options to choose from, how do you know which one is best for the job?
At Drain 365, our CCTV drain surveys utilise industry-leading technology, including crawler cams, to achieve optimal results. If you require crawler camera drain surveys in West London or across London and the South East, here’s what to expect from this high-tech solution.
What Is A Crawler Cam?
The clue is in the name. Our robot crawler cam is a remote-controlled device fitted with a CCTV camera that crawls through your drains. It allows us to inspect every inch of your drainage system, identifying damage, blockages and other issues for a comprehensive drain survey.
There’s no place the crawler can’t access, however challenging it may be. Our crawler cam drain surveys capture high-definition, real-time images from across the drainage network, allowing our team to rapidly create a bespoke solution. Drain 365 can arrange CCTV drain surveys in North London and across the capital.
When You Need A Crawler Cam Drain Survey
Our crawler cam surveys are great at identifying new and persistent problems. But when might you need to arrange one?
- You get persistent blockages. Always unblocking your toilets and sinks? A crawler cam drain survey in Bedfordshire can identify the cause of the problem and provide a lasting solution.
- You suspect structural damage. Leaks, cracks, and root damage can all go unnoticed until you experience recurring drainage issues. If you suspect structural damage is the cause, a CCTV drain survey in Hertfordshire will confirm whether your pipes need repairs or replacement.
- You’ve noticed a nasty odour. Unpleasant smells are a sign that your drain issue needs to be repaired quickly. Our CCTV drain surveys in Buckinghamshire and across the South East can help identify the problem without the hassle of digging up your drains.
- You’re a homebuyer. A homebuyer’s drain survey is a quick and effective way to get peace of mind before you move into a new property. If your survey uncovers any potential issues, you’ll have bargaining power in any price negotiation.
- You’re a landlord. Our CCTV drain surveys are a fast and affordable way to maintain your property and deal with any tenant complaints.
What’s The Best Camera For My Drain Survey?
Our crawler camera drain surveys are just one way of taking a look at what’s going on in your drainage system. But what’s the difference between a crawler cam and a pushrod or CCTV camera setup?
Pushrod systems are more portable than crawler cams and are generally used for exploring DN100 pipes and small-diameter drains where crawlers cannot fit.
Push Cams are attached to long cords, which are then inserted into your pipes to feed back images. These systems typically have an inspection range of 120m, in contrast to crawler cams, which can inspect up to 500m of pipe. Pushcams can also wiggle past blockages in smaller pipes where crawlers can sometimes get stuck.
CCTV cameras are a popular choice for more comprehensive surveys. However, they can have blind spots and may not detect minor cracks. If you want an access-all-areas survey with high-definition, real-time imaging, a crawler cam drain survey is generally the best fit.
The Benefits Of Using A Crawler Camera
Using a crawler cam is a modern solution to an age-old problem. This robotic device doesn’t require human intervention and can thoroughly inspect hundreds of metres of pipes.
There are plenty of advantages in using this cutting-edge technology to get to the bottom of your drainage system:
• Precision Inspection
With their high-definition cameras, crawler cams capture real-time data on the state of your drainage system. Unlike time-consuming manual methods, they’ll spot every potential issue, from minor cracks to tree root damage. These detailed images are invaluable in helping us create a customised solution tailored to your specific problem.
• Avoid Disruption
With a crawler cam drain survey, you can say goodbye to invasive drain inspections. There’s no need to dig up your pipes, ensuring minimal disruption and intrusion.
• Go Anywhere Technology
Crawler cams are incredibly flexible and can go just about anywhere. They’re an excellent choice in urban areas with complex drainage systems or for a homebuyer’s survey that needs to spot any minor issues.
• Proactive Maintenance
By providing real-time data on your drainage system, a crawler cam survey identifies hairline cracks and potential problems before they escalate into a real headache. This proactive approach saves time and money, and it’s a game-changer when you need to know your drains are robust and reliable.
