1. What is a TV camera inspection?
During a TV camera inspection, a special high-resolution camera is inserted into the pipe system. This transmits live images to a monitor so that experts can inspect the pipes in real time. This allows blockages, deposits, cracks or root ingrowths to be precisely localized.
2. The process of a TV camera inspection
Preparation: If necessary, the pipe is cleaned in advance to ensure a clear view.
Inserting the camera: A flexible camera, often with LED lighting, is inserted into the pipe.
Examination in real time: The camera sends high-resolution images to a monitor. Experts analyze the condition of the pipe system.
Diagnosis & measures: Based on the images, a decision is made as to whether cleaning, renovation or repair is necessary.
3. When is a TV camera inspection useful?
For recurring pipe blockages
For damage analysis in the event of water damage or unpleasant odors
After construction or renovation work for quality control
As a preventive measure to avoid major damage
4. Advantages of the TV camera inspection
✅ Precise diagnosis: problems are detected in a targeted manner.
✅ No unnecessary excavations: Damage can be precisely localized without major
intervention.
✅ Time-saving & cost-efficient: Fast analysis saves time and money.
✅ Preventive measure: Early detection protects against expensive repairs.
