# [Quick, Easy, and Cost-Effective Way to Inspect Your Sewers](https://info.wesslerengineering.com/blog/bid/284929/Quick-Easy-and-Cost-Effective-Way-to-Inspect-Your-Sewers)

Do you have 10 minutes to spare?

In the time it would take you to get a coffee at Starbucks, you could have a clear photo of your community’s storm or sanitary sewer main.

With the introduction of the new haloptic quick view camera, you can quickly and cost-effectively inspect your sanitary and storm sewers to identify structural and maintenance issues and identify sewers that should receive closed-circuit televising (CCTV) and cleaning.

This piece of equipment combines an optical zoom camera with a haloptic light source that projects a halo shaped column of light conforming to the sewer main. The result is clear, digital video of conditions as far as 175 feet into an 8-inch sewer.

Using the pole camera to perform sewer inspections, will allow you to:

- View a “real time” snapshot of your storm and/or sanitary sewer mains.
- Identify and isolate a problem area.
- Bypass the need to contact a costly CCTV company to clean and televise mains that may not be part of the problem.
- Plan and prepare for future maintenance and rehabilitation projects.

Check out this [video clip ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8gDWtWlb2U)which identifies a partially collapsed sewer main at a 90° bend in the City of Beech Grove's sanitary sewer system.
