How the method contributes
A compact inspection camera may help view a space through an existing opening or suitable access point. This can show pipework, moisture or routes that are otherwise difficult to inspect. The field of view is limited, so the engineer considers what the image can establish and which parts of the system remain out of sight.
Where it can be useful
- Accessible boxed-in pipework
- Building voids with suitable entry
- Checking visible conditions near a suspected source
Its practical limitations
Part of an investigation, not a guess
The engineer chooses the methods that can usefully test a possibility. Results are compared with the property layout and symptoms before access is proposed. See the full investigation and repair process.
