Storm Drain Camera Inspections & Line Locating

SoCal Sewer and Water provides camera inspections and line locating for underground storm drain systems. Camera inspection helps identify structural conditions inside the pipe, while locating helps determine where those conditions exist beneath the property.

What Can We Find?

Inspections may identify:

• Roots
• Cracks
• Collapsed sections
• Pipe offsets
• Sediment
• Standing water
• Broken connections
• Why Cleaning May Be
• Needed First

Heavy mud or standing water can prevent a useful camera view. Hydro jetting may be performed before inspection when appropriate. Storm drain camera inspection identifies the defect; line locating helps determine where it is underground.

This information can reduce unnecessary excavation and help distinguish between a cleaning problem and structural failure.
