Project name, client, street address, GPS coordinates, and unique inspection ID so the record is unambiguously linked to the site and permit.
A complete report provides an objective record of pipe condition that supports permit applications, repair estimates, and warranty or insurance claims. It reduces ambiguity, anchors contractor scope of work, and documents pre-existing defects.
The Sewer Inspection Camera Report serves multiple stakeholders who rely on accurate video and metadata to make decisions.
Tailor the level of technical detail in the report to the intended audience — regulators need different evidence than a homeowner or insurance adjuster.
Project name, client, street address, GPS coordinates, and unique inspection ID so the record is unambiguously linked to the site and permit.
Inspector name, company, camera make/model, probe orientation, and calibration details to establish method and repeatability of observations.
Material, inside diameter, length, upstream/downstream manhole or access points, and orientation so repairs and replacement materials match existing conditions.
Start/end depths, distance markers, and defect locations recorded in feet or meters with consistent units for contractor bidding and compliance.
Standardized defect codes (e.g., cracks, root intrusion, infiltration, grease) with severity and recommended action for prioritization and budgeting.
Time-stamped video clips, still images, and screen captures with playback notes to make evidence immediately verifiable by reviewers.
