It’s National Awareness Stormwater Week, so what better time to share some information about the need to inspect and maintain our systems properly. Stormwater systems are critical to keeping communities safe from flooding and water damage, especially as severe weather events become more frequent. To ensure these underground networks function reliably, municipalities and contractors are turning to video sewer inspections as a proven, cost-efficient solution.
Early Detection and Prevention
With high-resolution cameras, crews can visually examine the inside of stormwater pipes in real time. This process pinpoints cracks, leaks, blockages, and root intrusions before they escalate into costly failures or overflows during heavy rains.
Targeted Maintenance and Cost Savings
Unlike excavation, video inspections enable precise identification of problem areas. Repairs and cleaning can then be focused on the affected sections, saving both time and money while minimizing disruption to surrounding areas.
Restoring System Capacity
Sediment and debris buildup reduces a stormwater system’s ability to handle peak flows. Regular inspections locate these bottlenecks, allowing municipalities to restore capacity and reduce the risk of flooding.
Compliance and Documentation
Video footage provides a detailed record of system conditions, supporting regulatory compliance, construction quality assurance, and even insurance claims.
Environmental and Safety Benefits
By reducing the need for digging, video inspections lower environmental impact and protect workers from entering hazardous confined spaces.
At Aries Industries, we design rugged, innovative equipment for every stage of video sewer inspection—from powerful mainline systems like the Voyager™ HD, to lateral inspection tools and manhole assessment solutions. Backed by U.S.-based service and support, our systems help municipalities and contractors maintain stormwater infrastructure with confidence.
