CCTV is a modern tool utilised by plumbers to locate the issue within drainage systems. Instead of guessing or excavating plumbing lines, technicians now use CCTV drain cameras to precisely identify the problem.The drain camera consists of a durable camera attached to a flexible cable, which is fed into the drainage lines. The camera sends a continuous view of the internal condition directly to the plumber. This live footage can also be saved for later analysis, helping the plumber address the issue with confidence.CCTV technology is extremely valuable and is regularly used in the following applications:
