Sewer Camera Inspection & Underground Pipe Inspection

When an underground pipe is damaged, blocked, or otherwise not functioning properly, digging is not always the best place to start. C&M Subsurface provides video pipe inspection services in Texas using professional sewer camera equipment to inspect accessible underground sewer, drain, stormwater, and other piping systems.

Our video pipe inspections help contractors, property owners, engineers, facility managers, and project managers identify problems inside underground pipes without unnecessary excavation. Depending on site conditions and pipe access, we can also help determine the approximate location of inspected piping and potential problem areas from the surface.

Sewer Camera Inspection

We use professional sewer camera equipment to visually inspect the interior of accessible underground pipes and identify conditions that may require cleaning, repair, or further investigation.

Sewer Line Inspection

Our sewer line inspections can help identify damage, blockages, root intrusion, separated joints, collapsed sections, debris, and other conditions affecting underground piping.

Pipeline Locating

When applicable, our camera system can help determine the approximate location and path of the inspected pipe from the surface. This provides valuable information for planning repairs, excavation, or additional subsurface investigation.

Locate the Problem Before You Dig

A camera inspection can show you what is happening inside the pipe, but knowing where that problem is located can be just as important.

C&M Subsurface combines video pipe inspection with our experience in underground locating to help clients better understand both the condition of their piping and where it is located. When conditions and equipment allow, we can help identify the approximate surface location of the inspected pipe or potential defect.

Our Equipment

C&M Subsurface uses professional video pipe inspection equipment to capture visual information from inside accessible underground piping.

The camera allows our technicians to inspect the interior of the pipe in real time while documenting conditions that may be difficult or impossible to identify from the surface.

When applicable, locating capabilities can also be used to help determine the approximate surface location of the inspected pipe or potential problem area.

C&M Subsurface

GPR Locating

We use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to identify and map subsurface features, including utilities, voids, and buried structures, without disturbing the ground.

C&M Subsurface

EM Locating

We use electromagnetic (EM) equipment to detect and trace metallic utilities and conductors, confirming their path, depth, and location.

C&M Subsurface

Combined Inspection and Locating

A video pipe inspection can tell you what is happening inside the pipe. Locating technology can help determine where that pipe or problem is located.

Our expertise supports a wide range of industries, delivering safety, accuracy, and efficiency on every project.

Video Pipe Inspection Services Frequently Asked Questions

What is a video pipe inspection?

A video pipe inspection uses a camera inserted into an accessible underground pipe to visually examine the interior of the pipe. This allows technicians to identify potential problems without immediately excavating the area.

What types of pipes can you inspect?

Depending on the pipe size, configuration, access, and condition, video inspection can be used for sewer lines, drain lines, stormwater systems, French drains, and other accessible underground piping.

What can a sewer camera inspection find?

A camera inspection may identify blockages, cracks, breaks, root intrusion, separated joints, collapsed sections, debris, sediment, and other visible conditions inside the pipe.

Can you locate the sewer line?

When the equipment and site conditions allow, we can help determine the approximate surface location and path of the inspected pipe.

Can you locate where the pipe is broken?

When the camera is able to reach the suspected defect and the equipment and site conditions allow, we can help identify the approximate surface location of the problem area.

Do you provide the inspection video?

Video documentation can be provided as part of the agreed scope of work. Additional reporting can also be provided when requested.

Do I need to dig up the pipe first?

Generally, the purpose of a video pipe inspection is to inspect the pipe through an existing access point whenever possible. Access requirements depend on the specific piping system and site conditions.

How far can the camera travel?

Camera travel distance depends on the pipe size, configuration, bends, debris, water, blockages, and other conditions inside the piping system. The camera may not be able to travel through every section of every pipe.

Do you provide sewer cleaning or repairs?

C&M Subsurface provides inspection and locating services. We do not perform sewer cleaning, excavation, or pipe repairs as part of the inspection service.
