When it comes to plumbing and septic system services, efficient and reliable drainline inspection is paramount. Accurate and clear visuals are essential for identifying issues and facilitating effective repairs. Modern technology has made this possible with the advent of advanced drainline inspection cameras that are designed to provide high-resolution imagery even in the challenging environments of septic systems. Here’s a look at four cameras that are transforming the way the septic system services industry operates.

RIDGID SeeSnake Mini Pro 
The RIDGID SeeSnake Mini Pro inspection camera with TruSense Technology provides digital self-leveling without mechanical rotation, inspecting up to 200 feet of 1 1/2- to 8-inch pipe with its mid-flex push cable that can navigate hard 90-degree bends. Its 25 mm digital self-leveling camera keeps the in-pipe image upright and, when paired with a TruSense enabled monitor, delivers an in-pipe image with clarity, detail and fewer blown-out areas and sections of the pipe too dark to see. Digital zoom/pan provides the ability to focus on a single point of interest, while the TiltSense Inclinometer measures the camera’s angle and displays the degree of tilt on the monitor, giving a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe. It pairs with the RIDGIDConnect Online Business Tool for seamless customer reporting. 800-474-3443; www.ridgid.com
