CCTV Drain Inspections in Sydney.

Clearing fixes the symptom; the camera finds the cause. If roots or a broken pipe are in the line, the blockage will return — the footage tells you whether it's a one-off or a structural problem that's far cheaper to fix now than after it fails.

Absolutely — cracked or root-bound sewers are among the most expensive hidden defects in Sydney's older suburbs, and standard building inspections never look underground. A survey before you buy can save you from a very expensive surprise.

The camera head carries a sonde we trace from the surface, giving location within centimetres and depth within about 5%. Repairs become a small keyhole excavation instead of digging up the yard.

Yes — every inspection includes the full recording and a written report, emailed the same day. It's yours for insurance claims, council submissions or negotiating a purchase price.

Allow 45 minutes to an hour for a typical house with accessible inspection openings — longer if we're surveying both sewer and stormwater or need to clear a blockage before the camera can pass. You're welcome to watch the monitor live while we work; most clients find it oddly fascinating. The recording and report land in your inbox before close of business.

Where mature trees sit over or beside an older clay sewer, an inspection every 12 to 24 months keeps you ahead of the roots — fine root intrusion shows up on camera well before it becomes a Sunday-night overflow. Pair the survey with preventative jetting and a root inhibitor treatment and many owners avoid excavation entirely for decades.
