What to know
What the homeowner should understand.
Camera evidence can improve planning, but it must be traceable and interpreted within its limits.
Project context
How this affects a real project.
Use the property’s sewer layout, permits, programme rules, product instructions and accessible maintenance plan. Separate observed facts from assumptions, especially before concrete is opened or exterior excavation begins.
Owner handover
What to document.
Keep photographs, inspection or camera evidence, contractor scope, permit and inspection records, product information and maintenance dates. Clear records help future service and property ownership changes.
Project checklist
Keep the decision specific to the property.
Use the assessment, authority requirements and written scope rather than choosing from a generic product package.
- Entry point and route
- Distance and branch observations
- Defects and obstructions
- Limits of visual inspection
