Download this free PDF to conduct routine building sanitary sewer inspections or locate and remediate problems.

Building sanitary sewer inspections are conducted for two main reasons: as part of routine maintenance, or to identify and remediate a problem. A sewer problem can quickly develop into an emergency, especially if raw sewage is pumped into areas where it shouldn’t be.

To avoid sewer system failures, inspectors go into wastewater infrastructure to identify the source of a potential problem. These inspections are often conducted using paper forms, cameras, lamping, and visual inspections, and there is a lot of information that needs to be correctly recorded to produce a useful report.

What are the requirements of a sanitary sewer inspection?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as local and state governments place regulations on building sanitary sewer inspections that dictate the frequency and procedure with which these inspections should be performed. Municipalities around the world conduct proactive inspections and cleaning to ensure a sewer system continues to function properly, as aging systems are at higher risk of blockages, deterioration, and collapse.
