viemärikameratarkastus

Viemärikameratarkastus, often referred to as drain camera inspection or pipe inspection, is a diagnostic procedure used to visually examine the interior of sewer and drain pipes. This process employs specialized cameras mounted on flexible rods or cables, allowing technicians to navigate through the pipe system. The camera transmits real-time video footage to a monitor, enabling a detailed assessment of the pipe's condition.

The primary purpose of a viemärikameratarkastus is to identify and diagnose problems within the drainage system. Common issues detected include blockages caused by debris, grease, or foreign objects, as well as structural defects such as cracks, collapses, or root intrusion from nearby trees. The inspection can also reveal issues with pipe joints, leaks, or improper grading.

This technique is invaluable for both preventative maintenance and troubleshooting. Homeowners and businesses may opt for an inspection before purchasing a property to assess the condition of the existing plumbing. It is also frequently used when recurring drainage problems occur, such as slow drains or recurring backups, to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the issue.

The information gathered from a viemärikameratarkastus allows for targeted and efficient repairs. Instead of excavating blindly, technicians can plan repairs based on the visual evidence, potentially saving time and money. In some cases, minor issues can be resolved with less invasive methods once identified. The recorded footage can also serve as documentation of the pipe's condition at a specific point in time.
