- ### What is the maximum length that the hoses of a standard vacuum truck usually reach?
- **A standard vacuum truck typically carries about 50 to 100 metres of hose. ** Although they can reach longer distances with extensions, this reduces suction power. This is the ideal range that allows operators to work comfortably from the street to inside homes without losing effectiveness.
- ### Why should a TV camera inspection be carried out before and after using the vacuum truck?
- **It is used to diagnose the exact cause of the blockage (roots, breaks, or sediment) and to avoid damage when applying pressure. ** Afterwards, it guarantees that the cleaning was complete and that the pipe was left in perfect condition, giving you peace of mind of a job well done.
- ### What types of structural issues can be detected with visual inspection?
- **This technology allows the detection of cracks, breaks, open joints, and deformations caused by ground weight. ** It also identifies corrosion, material wear, and the intrusion of roots or sediment. By visualising the interior, you can pinpoint the exact location of the fault, avoiding unnecessary excavations and saving time.
- ### How does the radio frequency locator help avoid unnecessary work?
- **It works by inserting a transmitting probe into the pipe that travels to the inspection chamber. ** From the surface, a technician uses a receiver that picks up the radio frequency signal, marking the exact spot and depth. This avoids digging blindly all over the ground, only opening where necessary.
