Scope

Scope of Sewer Inspection: CCTV & Smoke Testing

Scope of Services #1

CCTV Sewer Camera Inspection for Condition Assessment

CCTV inspection evaluates the internal condition of sewer mains, lines, and laterals to identify cracks, offsets, root intrusion, debris buildup, and structural defects. Camera inspection supports accurate decision-making by confirming where issues exist and how severe they are.

When visibility is limited, line cleaning or jetting may be recommended prior to inspection to improve results.

Smoke Testing for Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) Investigation

Smoke testing helps locate potential I&I sources and cross-connections by introducing non-toxic smoke into the system and observing where it escapes. This can reveal points of entry such as faulty connections, broken cleanouts, leaks, and stormwater pathways into sanitary systems.

Smoke testing is commonly used to support compliance programs and reduce wet-weather impacts.
