Read the pattern
Ask for the access point, line direction, distance reference, pipe size and material, flow condition, cleaning needed first, recording format, locator use, and the decision the footage must support.
Decision terrace 31
Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
Do not open an unsafe cap or force equipment through a line that may damage the camera or pipe. Wastewater exposure, confined access, and exterior locating require controlled methods.
Place the Seattle boundary
Compare recorded distance and direction with SPU side-sewer records, surface features, and field locating. A video timestamp alone does not place a defect on a legal boundary.
Write the visit
Require continuous usable footage, narrated distance, still captures, access description, observed limitations, surface marks if included, and repair alternatives tied to specific findings.
Keep the closing evidence
Review the complete file rather than selected screenshots, reconcile distances from both ends when possible, and retain the original video with record drawings and later repair documentation.
