Viemäritarkastus

Viemäritarkastus, or sewer inspection, is a process used to examine the condition of underground sewer pipes. This is typically done using a specialized camera that is fed into the pipe. The camera transmits live video footage, allowing for a detailed visual assessment of the pipe's interior. This inspection is crucial for identifying potential problems such as blockages, cracks, leaks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections of the sewer line.

The primary purpose of a viemäritarkastus is preventative maintenance and early detection of issues. By identifying problems before they become severe, homeowners and property managers can avoid costly emergency repairs and significant water damage. It is often recommended during real estate transactions, before major renovations, or when experiencing recurring drainage problems like slow drains or sewage backups.

Modern sewer cameras are equipped with powerful lights and often have self-leveling capabilities to ensure a clear and stable image. Some advanced systems can also record the inspection, allowing for later review and documentation. The footage can help pinpoint the exact location and nature of any damage, which is essential for planning effective repairs. The findings of a viemäritarkastus are usually compiled into a report that details the condition of the pipes and recommends necessary actions.
