The importance of illumination

• Illumination: The bright ring of LEDs around the lens is essential because, as you can imagine, it’s pitch black inside a sewer line. This allows the operator to see the condition of the pipe in real-time on a monitor above ground. • Inspection: The central lens is capturing a "point-of-view" video feed. This is used to find blockages, cracks, or collapsed sections of the pipe without having to dig up the entire yard or street. • The Environment: You can see the textured, grimy interior of the concrete or clay pipe and the mist/spray created by the water pressure, which illustrates just how much force is being used to clear the line.

High Pressure Jetting

• High-Pressure Jetting: The thin, powerful streams of water shooting backward from the head aren't just for cleaning; they provide propulsion. The force of the water jets pushes the camera forward through the pipe, much like a miniature rocket engine, while simultaneously scouring grease, roots, and debris off the pipe walls.
