ROBOTIC MAINLINE CAMERA

At Trouble Shooters, we believe in being at the forefront of the plumbing industry by investing in technology that allows us to supply our customers with even greater service. Recently we have invested in a robotic mainline camera. This camera gives us the ability to inspect large sewer lines outside of building or housing developments.

A robotic mainline camera is designed for inspection from one manhole to the next to see the sewer line. Typically, these drain lines are larger than 6” and cannot be done using a regular drain camera. This is because a regular drain camera is not designed to be pushed through these drains. The cable won’t allow it, it doesn’t cast enough light and the lens projects very poor quality when in a line over 6”. A robotic mainline camera is the best way to inspect outside sewer lines.

How the robotic mainline camera works

Operated by a remote control, this robotic mainline camera is very technologically advanced. From the control station, our experts are able to operate the camera to have it rotate around for a more comprehensive investigation. The lens even has the ability to zoom in, providing clear targeted pictures of problem areas, like pipe joints or a branch line.

The robotic mainline camera comes in especially useful when hydro jetting to ensure we are getting the drain line clean. Cleaning any drain line “blind” without aid of a camera is far less efficient and effective.
