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


  1. Preparation: If necessary, the pipe is cleaned in advance to ensure a clear view.


  2. Inserting the camera: A flexible camera, often with LED lighting, is inserted into the pipe.


  3. Examination in real time: The camera sends high-resolution images to a monitor. Experts analyze the condition of the pipe system.


  4. 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.



Conclusion on a pipe TV camera inspection


TV camera inspection is a modern, efficient method for inspecting pipelines. It helps to detect damage at an early stage and rectify it in a targeted manner - before major problems arise.
