Everything you need to know about pipes and drains along Adelaide's coastal suburbs, we have the monopoly over the plumbing market
Inspections of pipes and drains using cameras
Living along Adelaide's coastal suburbs such as Glenelg, West Lakes and Seacliff can sure have it advantages, beautiful sandy beaches and a great place to cool off after a hard days work during summer. But with every positive there can be a negative and when your located along the coast line the drain pipes are going to be very susceptible to movement and blockages.
Tree roots thrive in sandy soils and the sand also has a habit of making its way into the pipes around the beaches which inevitably lead to blockages.
When the drains start to clog up its time to get the inside of your drains surveyed using the latest technology available on the plumbing market toady. Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting use Ridgid CCTV Cameras and Pipe Locators, this technology is imported directly from the USA. We have been investing in drain camera inspection equipment for many years and when you need to find the source of a problem only the best will do. When you are looking at the control monitor while the camera is going through the drains we can record the footage onto a USB stick, the image is so clear you wont believe we are actually inside the drain pipes. The head of the camera is lit up with multiple high powered LED lights and there is also a tracking sonde inside of the cameras heads allowing us to pin point the exact location of the camera inside of the pipes (we can also tell you the exact depth as well). Our pipe locating equipment can accurately detect and show where the source of the problem is coming from and just what can be done to now fix the offending issues.
Depending on your level of cover and the type of house hold insurance the initial camera investigations of drain damage can be covered by your policy. Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting have a good working relationship with many of Australia's leading Insurance companies. We know what the report will need to entail and also how the processes work with Insurance companies in Australia when it comes to investigate drain pipes which are badly damaged and may need repairing in the future. We also provide a drain cleaning service which in some cases is required in order to get a better under standing of just what is going on inside of the pipes around your home or business.
In the above image you will see one of our more complex drainage and pipe system inspection camera set ups. This is known as the tractor camera and is suited to larger commercial and infrastructure drainage systems typically installed in the streets/roads or larger buildings ie: Hotels, Warehouses, Apartments, Shopping Centres, Nursing Homes, Distribution Centres, Car Lots, Shipping Yards, Rail Stations and Hospitals.
The tractor camera is a self propelled device (tractor) and is remotely operated from above the ground which can be seen in the above image taken from one of our projects recently performed for a large infrastructure company in Adelaide.
The more common domestic style of drain camera inspections we perform across the state of South Australia is with our smaller Ridgid Cameras and these are a push style camera. The rod is very stiff which allows our technicians to push the camera along the drain pipes. The head of the camera has a large spring incorporated into it which allows for flexibility to go around corners, 45 degree bends and tee pieces.
