One of the many challenges property owners face is identifying pipe degradation before total failure.
Implementing extensive repairs too frequently can unnecessarily drive up costs, but waiting too long can result in violation fines, system failure and emergency repairs. CCTV underground pipe inspections help property owners not only find the best time to act but also ensure the problem is properly identified before repairs are implemented, guaranteeing a high ROI.
CCTV underground pipe inspections are performed by AQUALIS’ certified professionals, trained by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO), to ensure underground infrastructure is fully functioning and up to code. CCTV pipe inspections can be used to inspect and identify problems in underground infrastructure as small as 2” and up to 120” in a non-invasive manner. Offering both stormwater line inspections and wastewater line inspections, AQUALIS helps owners and managers visualize their underground infrastructure to assess damage.
What is CCTV?
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) technology uses remote-controlled video cameras to display real-time footage on specific display monitors. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV signals are not openly transmitted, allowing for private viewing. This limited transmission is why CCTV technology is used in a variety of services, including security surveillance, jumbotron sporting displays and video underground pipe inspections.
CCTV in Video Underground Pipe Inspections
CCTV utilizes remote-controlled crawlers or rovers that can detect, inspect and capture live images and videos of pipe deficiencies in below-ground stormwater and sanitary systems. This technology may be preventative as an annual inspection or implemented when above-ground issues, such as parking lot depressions, potholes, sinkholes, or pooling, are present.
Employing CCTV technology for underground pipe inspections allows AQUALIS’ trained operators to locate and diagnose problems in a non-invasive manner. A remote-controlled camera with CCTV capabilities is driven into the desired pipe(s) while the AQUALIS team monitors the display, looking for any damages or areas of concern. This unique and otherwise inaccessible view of underground infrastructure offers many benefits.
CCTV Underground Pipe Inspection Benefits
- Efficient:
Real-time viewing by AQUALIS’ trained professionals allows for same-day diagnosis. Our experts can then develop maintenance and repair plans designed specifically for your system’s needs based on the CCTV underground pipe inspection findings. Future maintenance also benefits as defects are caught early. The sooner we identify issues, the better we can serve our customers.
- Non-Destructive:
Other inspection methods are invasive, destructive and costly. AQUALIS’ CCTV underground pipe inspections do not require any excavation or daylighting before the service. If repairs and excavation are required based on findings, pinpointing the defect’s location reduces the repair required.
- Cost Saving:
Minimizing project time and environmental disruption is just the start of the cost savings AQUALIS’ CCTV underground pipe inspection services offer. Proactive inspections before implementing repair plans may determine that simple cleaning or other maintenance services are required, rather than invasive repairs.
What is Identified During Inspections?
Without CCTV underground pipe inspections, repair and maintenance requirements for underground infrastructure can be a bit of a guessing game. The inside-view offered through AQUALIS’ CCTV underground pipe inspections allow our professionals certified by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) to accurately identify and diagnose a variety of common causes of failure:
- Operational Obstructions:
Accumulation of debris, sediment, and trash as well as intruding roots can clog pipes and cause backflow. If identified, AQUALIS’ jetting services can clean your system and restore function without the need for expensive repairs.
- Pipe Damages:
Cracks, fractures, breaks, and askew joints must be caught early and repaired before the integrity of the pipe is compromised, leading to collapse.
- Pipeline Condition:
AQUALIS professionals with years of experience can inspect any deficiencies or installation defects, assess overall pipe health, and ensure the life of the underground pipe.
- Compromised Systems:
If a system has areas of complete collapse or serious defects, the location of required maintenance can be pinpointed to minimize pipe replacement. During inspections, possible violations can be identified and corrected before Notices of Violation and corresponding fines are issued.

FAQs
CCTV inspections are non-invasive and do not require any digging or excavation, allowing for a thorough inspection without disrupting your property or infrastructure.
You should schedule a CCTV sewer inspection if you notice any signs of above-ground issues like pooling water, sinkholes or parking lot depressions. Annual CCTV inspections may be required by your local municipality or Operations & Maintenance Agreement.
Even with regular maintenance, underground systems can develop issues that are invisible from above ground. CCTV pipe inspections provide a real-time view of your pipes, catching early signs of degradation and saving you from costly repairs or system failures.
