Advanced diagnostics reveal hidden problems in your drainage system
Blockages & Obstructions

Cracks & Fractures

When You Need A CCTV Drain Inspection
Common scenarios where camera inspections save time and money
Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Avoid inheriting expensive drainage problems. CCTV inspections reveal hidden issues before you commit to buying a property, potentially saving thousands in future repairs.
Recurring Blockages
When drains keep blocking despite repeated clearing, CCTV inspection identifies the root cause—whether it's tree roots, broken pipes, or improper installation.
Insurance Claims
Provide insurers with comprehensive video evidence of drain damage, including location, extent, and cause. Essential documentation for claims approval and processing.
Strata & Commercial Properties
Building managers require detailed reports for maintenance planning, compliance, and budgeting. Our reports meet strata committee and body corporate requirements.
Post-Repair Verification
Confirm that hydro jetting, pipe relining, or excavation repairs have successfully resolved the problem before reinstating surfaces or landscaping.
Slow Draining Systems
Identify partial blockages, scale build-up, or pipe bellying causing gradual drainage deterioration before it becomes a complete blockage emergency.
How Our CCTV Drain Inspection Works
Professional, thorough, and non-invasive diagnostics
Site Assessment & Access
Our technician locates existing inspection openings (IOs), overflow relief gullies (ORGs), or creates access points where needed. We identify the drain system layout and determine the best camera entry points to reach problem areas.
Camera Insertion & Navigation
High-definition waterproof cameras are carefully fed through your drainage system. Our self-levelling camera heads provide clear upright footage as they travel through bends, junctions, and along pipe runs up to 100 metres.
Real-Time Inspection & Recording
We record continuous HD video while monitoring the live feed for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or structural defects. GPS locators pinpoint exact problem locations underground, and depth counters measure how far into the system issues occur.
Analysis & Reporting
After inspection, we review footage with you on-site, highlighting critical issues. You receive a USB drive or cloud link with full HD video, annotated screenshots, GPS coordinates, written findings, and recommended actions.
Repair Solutions
Based on inspection findings, we provide quotes for repairs—whether hydro jetting to clear blockages, pipe relining for structural fixes, or excavation for collapsed sections. Many repairs can begin immediately with your approval.
Post-Repair Verification
After completing repairs, we can perform a follow-up CCTV inspection to verify the work was successful and document the improved condition of your drainage system.
