What is a CCTV pipeline inspection?

CCTV pipeline inspection uses remote cameras to visually inspect the interior of pipes, identifying issues like cracks, blockages, and root intrusions without digging.

What types of pipelines can be inspected?

We inspect sewer lines, stormwater drains, culverts, and industrial pipelines using HD robotic camera systems.

Do you provide reports with the inspection?

Yes. We supply detailed digital reports including video footage, images, defect classification, and recommendations.

Is this service available throughout South Africa?

Yes. Camjet operates nationwide with mobile inspection units equipped for all site conditions.

Can CCTV inspections detect pipe defects like sagging or root intrusion?

Yes. Our camera systems can detect and document structural issues such as root intrusion, cracks, corrosion, and pipe sagging.

Frequently Asked Questions

CCTV pipeline inspection involves using remotely operated camera systems to visually inspect the interior of underground pipes, sewers, and drains. It allows us to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and structural defects without any excavation.
It’s essential for early detection of problems like pipe collapse, corrosion, or infiltration. CCTV inspections help you avoid costly repairs and keep your drainage systems compliant and functional — especially important for municipalities, developers, and industrial facilities.
We inspect a wide range of pipeline types and diameters, including stormwater drains, sewer lines, industrial pipelines, culverts, and municipal systems.
Our advanced camera systems provide high-resolution footage, pan-and-tilt features, and laser profiling to give accurate defect locations and detailed pipeline condition reports, including slope measurements.
Yes. You receive a detailed digital report including HD video footage, photos, defect classification (WRC or SABS standards), GPS mapping, and repair recommendations if needed.
Absolutely. Camjet offers CCTV pipe inspections nationwide, with mobile units equipped to service both urban and remote areas. Our main service areas are Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Definitely. Pre-construction and pre-purchase inspections help detect hidden pipeline issues early, reducing future liabilities for developers, engineers, and property buyers.
This depends on the length and condition of the pipeline. On average, a standard residential line takes 1–2 hours, while large commercial or municipal systems may take a day or more.
Yes. All CCTV inspections are carried out according to local and international standards.
Yes. Our cameras can clearly identify intrusions, deformations, fractures, and sags ("bellies") in pipelines, allowing us to recommend the correct remedial actions.
Unlike traditional inspections, CCTV is non-invasive, quicker, more accurate, and offers a permanent visual record. It also reduces guesswork when planning repairs or rehabilitation.
Yes. Camjet provides trenchless pipeline rehabilitation, including cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, patching, and cleaning services — making us a one-stop solution for inspection, reporting, and repair.
