At JDC, we proudly supply sewer inspection cameras from the most trusted names in sewer inspection technology. These rugged, high-resolution systems are designed for accuracy, efficiency, and safety in even the most demanding environments.
Visibility is everything when it comes to underground utility and sewer infrastructure. Whether you’re locating a blockage, identifying a collapsed line, or inspecting aging municipal systems, relying on outdated equipment or guesswork is no longer an option.
That’s where a sewer inspection camera changes the game.
What Is a Sewer Inspection Camera?
A sewer inspection camera is a remotely operated camera system used to examine the interior of underground pipelines, storm drains, and sanitary sewer systems. Typically mounted on a robotic crawler or pushrod cable, these cameras transmit live footage to an operator above ground—providing a clear and detailed view of the pipe’s condition without excavation.
Industry-leading sewer cameras, like those from one of our partners Rausch USA, are equipped with high-definition video capture, pan-and-tilt control, and modular attachments that allow them to inspect pipes of various diameters and lengths.
Benefits of Sewer Inspection Cameras
- Minimize Disruption: Sewer cameras allow contractors and municipal teams to pinpoint exact problem areas without opening up entire stretches of roadway or landscaping.
- Improve Jobsite Safety: By reducing the need for confined space entry or manual probing, inspection cameras help protect field workers and reduce liability.
- Reduce Downtime: A fast, clear diagnosis means quicker decision-making. With accurate data, your team can make repairs or perform maintenance without delays or guesswork.
- Save Money: Early detection of cracks, corrosion, tree root intrusion, and other issues prevents costly emergency repairs and extends the life of your infrastructure, ensuring your investment pays dividends for years to come.
- Full Documentation: Today’s sewer cameras can record, store, and even geotag inspection footage, making it easier to provide proof of condition to customers, regulatory agencies, or insurance providers.
