Unfortunately, recent studies confirm that CCTV misses 80-100% of sources for infiltration and/or exfiltration and should not be used either for pre-rehabilitation assessments of post-rehabilitation certification of watertight repairs or rehabilitation. Can contractors recommend Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL), also referred to by the USEPA as electrical resistance testing to provide 100% locational accuracy and estimated gallons per minute defect flows of all leak locations. It doesn't appear to make sense to use visual-based cameras if they cannot reliably determine superficial cracks from cracks that go through a pipe wall, are unable to confirm service tap watertight conditions, and report false:positive results of pipe joints due to its inability to test 360-degree watertightness through bell & spogots. A: No answer provided yet.
