GCT ALWAYS STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT OUR CLIENTS WANT US THERE
PIPE INSPECTION
We do pipe inspection to:
- Locate and pinpoint where the blockage is in the line.
- Establish what is causing the blockage.
- Establish what is going on below ground, which in most instances is meters deep.
Dependent on the CCTV drain cameras used some have built in locators that will allow GCT to pinpoint the location and depth of the camera in the drainage system. The location of the blockage can then be identified.
- With this CCTV drain camera one is also able to map and survey the pipe.
- Our plumbing teams will then be able to show customers where the drainage problems are.
- After analysing the footage a detailed plan on the best way to fix the problem will be generated. GCT’s goal is to always ensure a long lasting solution.
- The CCTV cameras can be used under water in pipes from 40mm diameter upwards.
Once we know what is causing the problem/blockage we will advise you on the options available to generate an appropriate quote.
Dependent on the blockage we would normally:
- Rod the line with the appropriate rodding head either to hook (pull) or push the blockage.
- Excavate and repair the relevant section of the drain.
In areas where it is not obvious where the drain line is running, or the client is not aware of where the drain is running, the camera can show us where it is running below the ground.
- We use specialised CCTV drain cameras.
- In most cases we can see what’s causing the blockage but unfortunately that’s not always the case.
- The camera footage becomes more unclear when there is more sewage in the line.
- Sometimes we will need to rod to try and get the line level to drop or move some of the solids, clearing the camera’s view.
- We then insert the camera back into the drain line.
