CCTV drain inspections

See exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. We run a waterproof camera through your drains to find blockages, tree roots, cracks and collapsed sections, and pinpoint their exact location and depth – without digging up your yard.

Common reasons to inspect your drains

Blockages that keep coming backFind the cause – roots, a sag or a broken joint – instead of clearing the same drain again and again.
Buying a propertyCheck the sewer and stormwater lines before you commit, so there are no costly surprises after settlement.
Before renovating or extendingKnow the condition and route of existing pipes before you build over them or connect new fixtures.
Slow drains or bad smellsGurgling, slow drainage or sewer odours can point to a problem further down the line.
Big trees near your pipesRoots seek out water and can enter through small cracks or joints long before you notice a blockage.
After drain clearingConfirm the line is fully clear after jetting and check for damage that needs repair.

CCTV inspection FAQs

Do you need to dig to inspect my drains?

No. The camera goes in through an existing access point, such as an inspection opening or gully, so there’s no digging to find the problem.

How long does an inspection take?

Every drain is different, so the time on site depends on the length, layout and condition of your pipes. We’ll let you know what to expect when you book.

Will I get a report?

Yes. You’ll receive a copy of the photos from the inspection along with a written report explaining what we found and what we recommend.

Can you find exactly where the problem is?

Yes. Our camera locates the exact position and depth of a blockage or damaged section, so any repair is targeted and only the digging that’s needed is done.

How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?

CCTV drain inspections start from $450 (incl. GST). We’ll always confirm the price upfront before we start.
