Stormwater System Inspection (CCTV + Flow)
Specialized inspection of stormwater management systems including catch basins, storm drains, and retention systems for leaks and blockages.
How Stormwater System Inspection (CCTV + Flow) Works
Stormwater system inspection involves the comprehensive assessment of stormwater management infrastructure — catch basins, storm drains, retention systems, and discharge outfalls — using CCTV inspection, flow monitoring, and dye testing. BC properties, particularly commercial and industrial sites, must maintain functional stormwater systems to prevent flooding, soil erosion, and environmental contamination. A leaking stormwater system can saturate soil adjacent to building foundations, causing basement water entry, structural damage, and environmental liability. Our stormwater inspections identify pipe cracks, joint separation, root intrusion, blockages, and illegal connections that can lead to water entry into structures or environmental non-compliance.
Applications in BC
- Commercial and industrial stormwater compliance inspections
- Foundation drain system condition assessment
- Retention and detention system leak testing
- Catch basin and storm drain CCTV inspection for strata
- Pre-development stormwater infrastructure baseline
Advantages
- Comprehensive assessment of entire stormwater system
- Identifies environmental non-compliance risks
- CCTV provides visual documentation
- Flow monitoring quantifies infiltration and inflow
- Prevents foundation water entry from failed systems
Limitations
- Limited to accessible system components
- Weather conditions affect scheduling
- Underground systems may require excavation for access
- Flow monitoring requires dry weather baseline
Equipment Used
- • Ridgid SeeSnake storm drain crawler
- • Hach FL900 series flow meter
- • ISCO 4230 bubbler flow meter
- • ADS FlowShark flow logger
