    Frequently Asked Questions

    A flexible cable is affixed to a high-resolution drain pipe inspection camera, which is then inserted into the drain pipes to capture live video and images of your pipeline.

    In the course of a CCTV drain inspection, a plumber utilises specialised equipment to examine the condition of a drainage system. The technician inserts a CCTV camera into the drain, transmitting live video footage to a monitor for assessing the pipe condition and identifying issues like blockages, leaks, or damage.

    The plumber may employ other tools, such as a rotary machine cleaner or high-pressure hydro jetting, to eliminate any identified blockages. Upon review of the survey findings, the plumber will suggest a suitable course of action, which could involve drain repairs, pipe lining, or replacement of damaged pipes.

    The duration of CCTV drain surveys may fluctuate based on factors such as the size and complexity of the drainage system, as well as the specific issue at hand. A straightforward CCTV drain inspection might be completed within 30 minutes to an hour. Intricate inspections covering larger buildings or more complex systems, on the other hand, could extend over several hours.

    The drain camera inspection cost in Cape Town can vary based on the nature and extent of the issue. Please contact us for a quick and accurate quote for your drain camera inspection.
