CCTV Drain Camera - Connecticut Stormwater Authority Yard Drains

CCTV Drain Camera Inspections in New Canaan, CT

Unsure where your stormwater system is failing? Our CCTV drain inspections use high-resolution cameras to locate clogs, cracks, root invasions, or collapsed pipes. We serve homeowners, builders, and property managers in New Canaan, CT with fast, accurate underground pipe diagnostics.

What Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Show?

We insert a flexible, waterproof camera into your yard drain, storm line, or footing drain. The live video helps us identify:

  • Crushed or collapsed drain lines
  • Root intrusions or debris buildup
  • Improper slope or pooling water
  • Disconnected or misaligned pipe sections
  • Hidden clogs causing water backup

This process prevents unnecessary digging and helps us target repairs precisely.

How Our Drain Camera Inspection Works

We use push rod cameras and access points like cleanouts or downspouts to visually inspect your system from the inside. Here's our standard process:

  1. Insert camera into stormwater or yard drain pipe
  2. Live video streamed to monitor and recorded
  3. Identify blockage, damage, or poor layout
  4. Provide footage and solution recommendations
  5. Quote any necessary hydro jetting or repairs

We also offer video footage for insurance, permitting, or property sale purposes.

When to Get a Drain Camera Inspection

We recommend CCTV inspections in New Canaan, Connecticut when you notice:

  • Yard flooding with no visible cause
  • Basement water despite working sump pumps
  • Recurring downspout or drain backups
  • Buying or renovating a home with unknown drainage layout
  • Planning a French drain, sump pump, or CULTEC install

Connecticut Stormwater Authority will:

Go to town hall (or Connecticut Stormwater Authority will go on your behalf), research your property and make copies of any as-built plans on file.
With your engagement, a team is then sent to the property to inspect all aspects of the stormwater system, including inlets, leader drains, catch basins, rain gardens and stormwater chambers via inspection ports.

The inspection is done with drain cameras and video footage of everything is captured.

Field notes are taken regarding conditions and notable findings.

 When we run into debris or issues, we can jet the line with our high-pressure water jetters. In the case of broken or damaged piping, we can locate the exact spot of the break in the yard and mark it for repairs.

All notes, video content and marked up as-builts are then passed to our Professional Engineer. From there the Engineer reviews all the data and generates a report. He’ll visit the property if findings are questionable and conduct further investigation.

The Engineer then generates a compliant maintenance log and inspection report in a timely fashion and sends it along directly to your municipality to clear you of your requirements and get you 100% compliant.
