The Power of Drain Cameras
What Are Drain Cameras?
CCTV drain cameras are high-resolution, waterproof cameras mounted on a remote-controlled crawler. These units are guided through pipes, sending back live video so professionals can see exactly what’s happening underground. This non-invasive technology makes inspections precise, fast, and avoids unnecessary digging. As they travel through your pipes, they transmit live video, giving professionals a real-time view of what’s happening underground, without damaging your property.
