That makes choosing which jetter nozzle to use mostly a matter of guesswork. And without any pre-inspection visual information on pipe condition, cleaning crews risk wasting their time and money. [A 2015 study](https://inbound.envirosight.com/phased-assessment-strategy-for-sewers) even found that up to 35% of sewer lines are jetted unnecessarily as part of scheduled cleaning and maintenance. While CCTV crawlers are great inspection tools, they require a lot of manpower and can be pricey to operate on every cleaning job. ![Zoom into Cleaning whitepaper](https://blog.envirosight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Zoom%20into%20Cleaning%20social%20Instagram.jpg?width=300&name=Zoom%20into%20Cleaning%20social%20Instagram.jpg) That’s where zoom assessment tools come in.  Zoom assessment tools such as zoom cameras use illumination and powerful zoom optics to record video of a pipe’s length. This footage enables operators to choose the right nozzle for the job and avoid conducting multiple passes. Zoom assessment is also a cost-effective option for pre- and post-cleaning inspections. For example, CCTV inspection can cost up to $1.25 per foot to operate, while zoom camera assessment costs just $0.15 per foot. These multi-purpose cameras can also be used for manhole and catch basin inspections, among other functions.  Download our new whitepaper, *Zoom Into Sewer Cleaning: How Zoom Assessment Makes Your Cleaning Crew More Productive*, to learn more about the benefits of zoom assessment.
