Professional CCTV Drain Inspection for Brisbane Homes
Dealing with repeated drain blockages or slow drainage? A CCTV drain inspection gives a clear view of what’s going on underground. We provide expert CCTV drain inspection services across Brisbane, including the Northside and Moreton Bay.
What Is a CCTV Drain Inspection?
A CCTV drain inspection uses a small camera to look inside your pipes. The camera is waterproof and moves through the drain on a flexible cable. It sends live video to a monitor, so our plumbers can see blockages, cracks, or root damage without digging up your yard.
Why You Might Need One
Not all drainage problems are simple. If your drains block often or water drains slowly, a CCTV inspection can find the real cause. It helps us fix the problem properly the first time.
Common reasons people in Brisbane get a CCTV drain inspection include:
- Frequent blocked drains or backups
- Slow draining sinks, toilets, or showers
- Unexplained damp patches in the yard
- Foul smells from drains
- Before buying or renovating a home
How CCTV Drain Cameras Help
Brisbane’s older suburbs like West End, Red Hill, and Coorparoo often have aging pipes made of clay or earthenware. These are more likely to crack, sag, or let in tree roots. A drain camera shows us what condition your pipes are in, so we can give accurate advice and avoid guesswork.
What We Can Find During an Inspection
A camera inspection gives a real time view of the inside of your drains. We look for anything that may affect flow or cause future blockages.
Issues we commonly spot include:
- Tree root intrusion
- Pipe cracks or fractures
- Sagging or misaligned pipe joins
- Grease or soap build-up
- Broken or collapsed sections
- Foreign objects lodged in the line
What to Expect When We Visit
We’ll arrive with our camera gear and inspect the problem area. Access is usually through an outdoor drain, pit, or inspection point. The whole process takes about 30–60 minutes for most homes.
Our inspection process includes:
- On site visit by a licensed plumber
- Live camera footage inside your drain
- Verbal report with findings and recommendations
- Optional recorded video and photos
Benefits of a CCTV Drain Inspection
Doing a camera check now can save you from bigger problems later. It's a smart move if you’ve had recurring drainage issues or are unsure of what’s going on underground.
Benefits include:
- Pinpointing the exact location of the problem
- No need for digging or guesswork
- Planning repairs before damage gets worse
- Peace of mind when buying or renovating
Brisbane Conditions That Affect Drains
Brisbane’s mix of summer storms and long dry spells puts extra stress on drains. Heavy rainfall can flood low lying areas, especially if roots or debris have built up in your pipes. Homes with older clay or concrete drains often show wear after 20–30 years.
Suburbs with leafy streets like The Gap and Chapel Hill tend to have more root intrusion, especially in properties with large, older trees.
Best Time to Book a Drain Camera Inspection
You don’t need to wait until a full blockage. The best time to book is when things seem off like smells, slow drains, or unexplained yard dampness. It’s also smart to book before buying a house, especially older homes.
