Pipeline Inspection
Pipeline inspection is a critical part of maintaining underground sewer, conduit, and drainage systems. Safe Site Utility Services uses state-of-the-art CCTV pipeline inspection equipment to assess and diagnose pipe conditions, helping identify clogs, defects, or damage quickly and safely.
REDUCES PROJECT DELAYS & COSTS FOR PIPE REPAIR
Have a collapsed sewer lateral, duct, or an unknown blockage in a pipe? Safe Site provides a no-dig option that reduces project delays and costs by pinpointing the exact issue in your line, including bends, collapses, root intrusions, lateral taps, crossbores, or other issues. State-of-the-art camera technology inspects your main lines up to 1,000 feet.
Pipeline Inspection: Locating Challenges
Sewer lines, conduits, or other facilities composed of plastic, clay, or tile are not locatable via electromagnetic methods and therefore are not typically identified and marked in the field before construction. This is especially true for sewer laterals, which are often considered “customer-owned” beyond the property line and not included in the state One Call process.
This can lead to expensive and dangerous outcomes. Damage to these facilities may remain hidden until problems arise, such as:
- Blocked or collapsed lines
- Cross-contamination or leaks
- Natural gas seepage into occupied buildings
Safe Site’s pipeline inspection services solve these challenges by combining CCTV inspection with advanced scanning and mapping equipment to locate, document, and evaluate subsurface infrastructure accurately.

F.A.Q.
Some frequently asked questions to help you understand our service in details.
What types of pipelines can be inspected?
We inspect a wide range of pipelines — including sewer mains and laterals, drainage conduits, storm lines, utility conduits, and other underground infrastructure composed of materials like clay, PVC, tile, or concrete.
How long can your CCTV inspection extend?
Our equipment can inspect pipeline segments up to 1,000 feet per run — ideal for long mains or deep laterals.
Will you locate “invisible” lines before excavation?
Yes. We perform precise mapping to document sewer laterals, conduits, and utilities — even those not marked by traditional electromagnetic methods — helping you avoid accidental damage.
What deliverables do I receive after inspection?
A comprehensive inspection report including video or photographic documentation, condition assessment, defect locations, mapping data, and recommended next steps (repair, reline, replacement, etc.).
