Service Overview
Storm Drain Camera Inspection With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
Storm drain problems rarely announce themselves until the damage is already done. By the time you notice flooding, structural collapse, or a failed compliance inspection, a small crack or blockage has had months — sometimes years — to grow. Camera inspection changes that equation entirely.
Lapin Services deploys high-definition CCTV equipment to inspect the inside of your storm drain system, providing a clear video record of what's there — cracks, joint failures, root intrusion, sediment buildup, and structural deterioration. Whether you need a pre-repair assessment, a pre-purchase evaluation, or documentation for a compliance report, we give you the footage and findings to make confident decisions.
Problems We Solve
Common Storm Drain Camera Inspection Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Cracks and Pipe Wall Deterioration
Age, ground movement, and traffic loads cause pipe walls to crack over time. Left undetected, small fractures expand and allow soil infiltration that accelerates structural failure.
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots follow moisture into pipe joints and cracks, then grow to obstruct or rupture the pipe from the inside — a common cause of blockage and collapse in older systems.
Joint Failures and Offsets
Pipe sections that have shifted, separated, or misaligned at joints create gaps where sediment collects, roots enter, and structural integrity deteriorates.
Sediment Buildup and Blockages
Sand, silt, and debris accumulate in storm drains over time, reducing flow capacity and creating conditions for backups and flooding during heavy rain events.
Partial or Full Structural Collapse
Severely deteriorated pipes can partially or fully collapse under load — a failure that disrupts drainage, creates sinkholes, and requires emergency excavation if not caught early.
When to Call
Signs Your Stormwater System Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Flooding or Pooling Water After Rain
If low points on your property hold water longer than they should, the underground storm drain system may be partially blocked or compromised.
Unexplained Sinkholes or Ground Settlement
Depressions or soft spots in pavement, turf, or soil near storm drain lines can indicate an underground pipe has collapsed or is allowing soil to erode into the system.
Pre-Repair Scope Confirmation
Before approving a repair quote, camera inspection confirms exactly what needs to be fixed — protecting you from unnecessary excavation or work that misses the real problem.
Pre-Purchase or Pre-Sale Due Diligence
Buying or selling a commercial or residential property with stormwater infrastructure? Camera inspection documents system condition so there are no surprises after closing.
Compliance Inspection or Permit Requirement
Municipalities, property owners, and insurers increasingly require documented inspections of stormwater systems. Video footage provides the compliance record you need.

FAQs
Storm Drain Camera Inspection FAQs
What is CCTV storm drain camera inspection?
CCTV (closed-circuit television) inspection uses a waterproof camera mounted on a flexible rod or crawler to travel through storm drain pipes and capture high-definition video of pipe conditions from the inside. It’s the most accurate way to diagnose underground drainage problems without excavation.
Will camera inspection identify the exact location of a problem?
Yes. The camera records depth, distance, and position data as it travels through the pipe, so any defects — cracks, root intrusion, joint failures — can be located precisely, reducing excavation to only what’s necessary.
Do I receive a copy of the inspection footage?
Yes. You receive a full video record of the inspection along with written findings. This documentation is yours to use for repair planning, compliance reporting, insurance claims, or real estate transactions.
Can camera inspection be done before I approve a repair?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Pre-repair camera inspection confirms the exact nature and location of the problem so the repair scope is accurate. It protects you from paying for unnecessary work and ensures the real issue is addressed.
Is camera inspection required before storm drain cleaning?
Not always, but it’s often the smart choice — especially if you’ve had recurring blockages or haven’t inspected the system in years. Inspection first ensures cleaning addresses the right areas and identifies any structural issues that cleaning alone won’t fix.
Do you provide camera inspection for compliance documentation?
Yes. We provide inspection reports and video records suitable for municipal compliance, permit requirements, insurance documentation, and property management reporting. We can also represent you to inspectors when needed.
What types of storm drain pipes can you inspect?
We inspect a wide range of stormwater infrastructure including concrete, PVC, HDPE, corrugated metal, and clay pipe systems — from small residential drain lines to larger commercial and municipal stormwater networks.
Do you serve all of Central Florida?
Yes. Lapin Services provides storm drain camera inspection throughout Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
