CCTV Pipe Inspections

Stormwater Management

CCTV pipe inspections provide detailed, real-time video assessment of stormwater pipes, culverts, and underground drainage systems. Our high-resolution cameras detect blockages, root intrusion, joint separation, and structural defects before they lead to costly backups or failures. Regular inspections support preventative maintenance, improve stormwater system performance, and extend pipe life. From municipal sewers to commercial and HOA storm drains, CCTV inspections help maintain compliance and protect critical stormwater infrastructure.

Why Choose CCTV Stormwater Pipe Inspections

Preventative Stormwater Maintenance
CCTV inspections detect hidden issues in stormwater pipes, culverts, and drains—such as cracks, corrosion, or sediment buildup—before they lead to costly failures or backups.

Non-Invasive, Cost-Effective Assessment
Robotic cameras perform thorough inspections without excavation, saving time, labor, and minimizing disruption to surrounding infrastructure.

Precise Diagnostics & Problem Identification
High-definition video provides exact location and cause of issues like joint separation, root intrusion, or structural deterioration, allowing targeted repairs.

Flood Risk Reduction & System Reliability
Regular CCTV inspections ensure stormwater systems can handle peak flows, mitigating flooding risks and supporting climate-resilient drainage.

Construction & Renovation Protection
Pre- and post-construction inspections verify new installations and protect existing stormwater infrastructure from accidental damage.

Regulatory & Compliance Assurance
CCTV inspections help municipalities, developers, and property owners meet environmental standards and maintain long-term stormwater asset compliance.

CCTV pipe inspections identify hidden defects in stormwater pipes, culverts, and drainage systems before they escalate into costly failures. Let’s locate the problem before it becomes an emergency—protecting your infrastructure, preventing flooding, and avoiding unexpected repairs.

Stormwater Systems We Maintain

Catch Basins, Inlets, Frames & Grates
Stormwater maintenance of catch basins, inlets, frames, and grates removes sediment and debris, restores hydraulic flow, prevents blockages, and ensures regulatory compliance.

Detention Ponds
Regular stormwater maintenance of detention ponds removes accumulated sediment, cleans outlet structures, and preserves storage capacity and peak flow control for effective flood management.

Retention Ponds
Stormwater maintenance of retention ponds maintains permanent pool conditions, clears debris, supports pollutant settling, and ensures long-term water quality performance.

Grassed & Rip Rap Swales
Stormwater maintenance of grassed and riprap swales stabilizes erosion, removes sediment, and preserves vegetation to protect hydraulic flow and site compliance.

Hydrodynamic Separators
Routine maintenance of hydrodynamic separators removes sediment, trash, and hydrocarbons to restore pollutant removal efficiency and optimal system performance.

Level Spreaders
Stormwater maintenance of level spreaders ensures even runoff distribution, prevents channelized flow, and protects downstream soils and vegetation.

Outfalls
Stormwater maintenance of outfalls removes debris, repairs structural issues, and stabilizes discharge points to prevent scour and maintain regulatory compliance.

Proprietary Stormwater Systems
Maintenance of proprietary stormwater systems restores filtration media, clears blockages, and preserves hydraulic performance and permit compliance.

Storm Sewer Systems
Stormwater maintenance of storm sewer systems clears pipes, removes sediment, and repairs joints to restore proper drainage and hydraulic efficiency.

Stormwater Infiltration Assets
Regular stormwater maintenance of infiltration assets improves soil permeability, restores runoff percolation, and ensures groundwater recharge and compliance.

Stormwater Vaults
Stormwater maintenance of underground vaults removes sediment, repairs structural components, and restores storage and treatment capacity for efficient system operation.

Debris Collection Devices
Routine maintenance of debris collection devices removes trash and floatables, protects downstream stormwater infrastructure, and ensures system efficiency.

Underground Stormwater Assets
Stormwater maintenance of underground assets—including pipes, chambers, and vaults—restores hydraulic performance, structural integrity, and compliance.

Above Ground Stormwater Assets
Stormwater maintenance of above ground assets stabilizes erosion, removes debris, and ensures accessible and compliant system operation.

Permeable Pavement
Routine stormwater maintenance of permeable pavement removes surface clogging, restores infiltration capacity, and maintains stormwater treatment efficiency.

Sand Filters
Stormwater maintenance of sand filters replaces clogged media, removes accumulated sediment, and restores filtration efficiency for pollutant removal and regulatory compliance.

Routine/Quarterly Inspections

Routine quarterly inspections of stormwater control measures identify sediment accumulation, debris, erosion, and vegetation issues before they impact system performance. These inspections help maintain compliance, extend SCM life, and ensure effective stormwater management year-round.

Post-Storm Inspections

Post-storm inspections are conducted after significant rainfall events to assess SCM functionality, identify immediate damage, and address any safety or operational concerns. Prompt evaluation after storms prevents flooding, erosion, and costly downstream repairs.

Annual Certified Inspections

Annual certified inspections verify that stormwater control measures are operating according to local regulations and design specifications. These formal inspections provide official documentation for compliance and ensure long-term system performance.

As-Built/Final Inspections

As-built inspections confirm that newly constructed stormwater control measures match approved plans and design requirements. Final inspections ensure proper installation, identify potential construction issues, and validate long-term functionality.

Remedial/Repair Inspections

Remedial inspections assess SCMs after notices of violation, damage, or structural failure to determine required repairs. These inspections guide corrective actions that restore system performance and maintain regulatory compliance.

Key Types of SCM Inspections

Comprehensive stormwater control measure (SCM) inspections are essential to maintain proper function, ensure NCDEQ compliance, and protect water quality across commercial and regulated sites. Routine quarterly, post-storm, annual certified, as-built, and remedial inspections identify sediment buildup, debris, erosion, vegetation issues, and structural concerns before they cause flooding or system failures. By performing these targeted SCM inspections, CMS helps extend the life of stormwater infrastructure, prevent costly repairs, and optimize overall stormwater management performance.
