Storm Drain Camera Inspection

At PRS, we do detailed camera inspections of storm drains. With our cameras, we’ll find leaks and clogs, and our technician will determine if your storm drains need repair. The drainpipes aren’t pressurized, so it’s hard to find leaks without a camera.

The Cleaning of Storm Drains

We use VacCon equipment for powerful vacuuming of debris.
High-powered water jetting effectively clears stubborn clogs.
Mechanical cleaning tools remove corrosion and buildup.
Regular maintenance prevents blockages and ensures efficient drainage.

Storm drainage pipes and lines can be cleaned with a VacCon, vacuum trailer, high-powered water jetting, and mechanical cleaning equipment. It depends on what’s causing the obstruction, leak, or clog. Clogs can be cleared with a cleaning, and the storm system can run more efficiently, or perhaps a leak will be found requiring lining or another pipe drain rehabilitation solution.

FAQs

  • What is Pipe Descaling?

    Pipe descaling is a maintenance process aimed at removing mineral, rust, and debris buildup inside pipes, which can cause blockages and reduce water pressure. Techniques include:

    • Chemical descaling: Uses acid solutions to dissolve buildup.
    • Mechanical descaling: Employs tools to physically remove scale.
    • Electronic descaling: Uses electromagnetic waves to break down scale.
  • Why is Pipe Descaling Necessary?

    Pipe descaling is essential for:

    • Preventing blockages: By removing buildup that narrows pipes.
    • Extending pipe lifespan: By reducing corrosion and maintaining structural integrity.
  • When Should Pipes be Descaled?

    Descaling should be considered:

    • Every 2-5 years as part of routine maintenance.
    • After significant flow reduction (15% or more).
    • Following water quality tests indicating high mineral content.
    • Before visible signs of scale buildup.
  • What are the Benefits of Pipe Descaling?

    Benefits include:

    • Improved water flow: By removing scale that narrows pipes.
    • Reduced noise: By minimizing turbulence caused by scale.
    • Lower risk of leaks and bursts: By maintaining pipe integrity.
  • What Are Common Challenges in Pipe Descaling?

    Challenges include:

    • Accessing all affected areas: Hard-to-reach sections may require advanced tools.
    • Ensuring complete removal: Thorough cleaning without damaging pipes.
