Message: Careful Inspection is required for CMP, even if the initial impression is good.
Upon initial inspection, a conduit may appear to be in decent condition with many years of service remaining. However, a simple observation at each end of a pipe will not provide enough information to determine the condition of a pipe. A camera inspection of the full length of a pipe will provide more detail and can often be done inexpensively with an action camera such as a GoPro.

-
A casual observer would likely assume that this old culvert is fine, but the inspector should look closely to observe the pipe’s condition.
-
Looking into the outlet using strong light
-
