The purpose of drainage pipes is to divert groundwater and seepage away from under and around a building, thereby preventing moisture from rising into the structure. Inspecting drainage pipes is an easy way to assess their condition.

When is it a good idea to inspect drainage pipes?

• If problems are detected, such as moisture seeping into the foundation, exterior walls, load-bearing walls, or the basement
• When the yard is being opened up or has been opened up for other reasons, as it would be easier to fix any potential issues in that context
• It is recommended that drainage pipes be inspected at least once every 10 years
• New or renovated drainage pipes should always be photographed as part of quality assurance procedures

The best time to inspect drainage pipes is in the spring and fall, when there is water in the pipes. During these inspections, it is also possible to check that the slopes are functioning properly. However, drainage systems can be inspected well at other times as well, allowing you to identify issues such as potential blockages, root intrusion into the piping, or possible collapses. In new construction projects, drainage systems are typically inspected as soon as possible after installation so that any necessary repairs can be made before the yard is fully completed.

How are drainage pipes described?

The inspection is performed using a pipe or sewer camera through inspection chambers. The camera head is attached to a special cable that is fed into the piping, and the entire inspection is recorded on video. You will receive a visual report of the inspection as well as the raw video footage. If necessary, potential problem areas can also be located underground using specialized equipment that detects the camera head’s signal through the soil. Based on the inspection, you will receive recommendations for corrective action.
