CCTV Video Camera Inspections
Pipeline Video Inspection & Manhole Inspections
See Problems Before They Become Emergencies
Real-time video pipeline inspection has transformed the way sewer, stormwater, and underground utility systems are maintained. Hidden issues that once required excavation to locate can now be identified quickly and accurately using advanced CCTV inspection technology.
Champion Environmental utilizes professional pipeline inspection equipment and robotic camera systems to evaluate underground infrastructure in real time, helping property owners, municipalities, contractors, and facility managers detect problems before they escalate into costly failures.
Our inspections provide clear visual documentation of system conditions, allowing informed decisions to be made regarding maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, or replacement.

What Is Achieved Through Video Inspection
Clear Answers. Informed Decisions.
Pipeline video inspection provides valuable information that helps property owners and managers make informed maintenance and repair decisions.
Pipe Conditions Identified
Determine the current condition of underground piping systems and identify signs of deterioration or damage before failure occurs.
Precise Problem Location
Locate blockages, breaks, root intrusion, offsets, or damaged sections with accuracy to reduce unnecessary excavation and repair costs.
Video Documentation
Inspection footage can be provided for third-party review, including municipalities, engineers, insurance carriers, contractors, HOAs, and property management companies.
Maintenance & Repair Planning
Video inspection allows informed decisions to be made regarding cleaning, rehabilitation, spot repairs, lining, or full replacement options.
Manhole Inspections

CCTV FAQs
CCTV inspections are recommended for both residential and commercial properties to diagnose issues like clogs, roots, breaks, or buildup inside pipes. They are especially useful for homes with recurring drain problems and commercial properties with heavy usage, such as restaurants or large facilities, to prevent costly backups and downtime.
CCTV camera inspections are recommended when there are recurring clogs, slow drainage, or backups, as they help identify the exact cause such as roots, grease buildup, breaks, or bellies in the line. They are also useful before purchasing a property, after major repairs, or following hydro jetting to verify the pipe is clear and in good condition.
A CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) plumbing inspection involves inserting a specialized waterproof camera into your plumbing or sewer line. The camera transmits real-time video footage, allowing our technicians to see the exact condition of your pipes from the inside.
