For municipal pipes, camera inspections verify the state of your system in a thorough way. This is an important step because an accurate diagnosis gives pipe specialists a way in, a gameplan, and protection against mistakes. Advanced Pipe Repair has the technology to offer the most cutting-edge camera inspections. With an inspection, you will immediately know what state your pipes are in, and if you have any cross bores to deal with.
IDENTIFY CROSS BORES
Municipal pipe camera inspections are key to identifying cross boring. When the pipework is done without due diligence, mistakes happen. Either a new contractor makes a mistake reading a pipe chart of the area, or a previous contractor improperly registers changes made to your grounds. Between the two, one pipe cross bored through another.
In some cases, pipe boring is just an expensive mistake. Damaged pipes leak whatever passed through its system. While water leaks are not the worst-case scenario, if the damaged pipe is carrying sewage or natural gas, you could have a larger problem on your hands. Cross bores have been blamed for explosions on properties where natural gas or sewer vapor was allowed to mix with an electrical cable. Even in a best-case scenario, you stand to lose a valuable utility.
PREPPING MUNICIPAL PIPES
Municipal pipe camera inspections ensure that your pipe is prepped for CIPP installation. As a result, you can make sure that it’s clean enough and in good shape. Typically, a collapsed or corroded pipe cannot host the new liner installation, but double-checking with a video inspection allows you to prep before a CIPP installation.
TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE MUNICIPAL PIPES
The ability of Advanced Pipe Repair to perform these checks depends on the latest in robotic technology. The robotic inspector is slim, small, and fitted with a variety of hardware to make inspecting pipes easy. First of all, the robot’s tractor body makes it easy to cross uneven terrain. The main pipeline is hardly ever perfectly clean and smooth. This robot can handle a bumpy ride.
Just because the terrain is not ideal, the video footage does not have to be. Advanced Pipe Repair’s self-leveling technology ensures that the picture is clear for the technicians and insurance claims. It allows the robot to pass over difficult to navigate terrain, from a clogged pipe to offset joints, without sacrificing picture quality.
Finally, with 2,000 feet of cable, this robot is prepared to go as far as your pipes will take it. It can navigate through pipes thirty inches and larger. This is enough to take you from the main sewer line all the way into the interior of the pipe. Whether your pipes are pressed for space or cavernous, Advance Pipe Repair’s robotic camera can perform high-quality inspections.
Whether you’re looking to replace your pipes, or you just want to be sure you’re not suffering from cross boring, Advanced Pipe Repair is there. Camera inspections for municipal pipes are quick, high quality, and versatile. Our new technology makes seeing your pipes easier than ever. Contact us today if you have any questions.
