Six Signs Your Drains Are Asking for CCTV Drain Inspection
Ruling something out is just as useful as finding it. Book a survey before any of these turn into an unnecessary dig.
- The same drain blocks again within a few months, clear after clear.
- Purchasing a property nearby and wanting to know what's actually under the yard first.
- A previous plumber has mentioned root intrusion or an ageing pipe.
- Slow drainage across the property with no obvious single cause.
- A renovation is planned near where the drains run.
- A repair quote needs backing up with real evidence, not a guess.
What Our CCTV Drain Inspection Work Covers
There's not much for you to do during a CCTV drain inspection. Here's the version that happens on our end.
- The rig feeds in through whichever gully, vent or cleanout gives the easiest run.
- Depth, direction and every joint along the way get logged as we go.
- Cracks, root growth, an offset joint or simply a clear healthy pipe all show up clearly on the monitor.
- A problem's exact position gets marked on the surface, so nobody's digging blind.
- Buying a house? The written report doubles as evidence for your own records.
- You watch the footage with us, so it's not just our verdict you're taking on faith.
What Affects the Cost of CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera survey is priced on the length of run and how straightforward access turns out to be, not a flat fee for every property.
- Length of drain run being surveyed.
- Number of access points available versus needing one opened up.
- Whether it's a straightforward survey or a locate-and-mark job for a renovation.
- Older homes around Lytton Street built in brick and render often have no drainage plans on record, so locating the run before mapping it can stretch the visit out a bit.
- Whether a follow-up repair quote is needed on the same visit.
The cost is settled before any footage is recorded, and there's nothing to pay just for us to turn up.
What We See in Wentworthville Drains
Around Lytton Street and through Wentworthville's older pockets, brick, fibro and rendered homes were built without the kind of as-built plumbing plans you'd get with a newer build.
Nobody currently on site usually knows exactly where the original drain run sits, how deep it was laid, or whether a renovation has altered it somewhere along the way.
Mature trees on those older blocks send roots hunting for moisture in the joints of ageing clay lines, and it's exactly the kind of intrusion a camera picks up before it turns into a full blockage.
That's exactly the gap a camera survey fills. Rather than a rough guess based on the build date, you get to see on screen where the line runs, what it's made of, and whether age or root intrusion has actually caused a problem.
For homes this old, a camera survey is often the difference between a quote based on evidence and one based on assumption.
The Rules That Apply in NSW
Running a camera down a pipe isn't itself licensed work, but acting on what it shows is. Whatever repair follows gets carried out under our NSW plumbing licence #465156C, judged against the AS/NZS 3500 standard.
If your property has an old plumbing plan tucked away somewhere, bring it out. We'll cross-check it against the footage rather than relying on either one alone.
How We Work Through a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
- We confirm access points and settle the cost with you first.
- The rig travels the full run while we talk through what's appearing on the monitor.
- Straight after, we walk back through the recording together and explain it plainly.
- If a repair or clear is needed, that gets quoted separately once the footage confirms what's actually needed.
The Difference on a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
The screen tells the same story to both of us, so there's no translating a verdict you can't check yourself. Whatever gets fixed off the back of the survey carries our lifetime labour warranty, unconditionally, the same as every job we do.
Our own licensed crew runs the camera on every job, so whoever's reading your footage actually stands behind the diagnosis.
Servicing Wentworthville and the Suburbs Around It
A survey often leads straight into a drain cleaning visit or, where the pipe itself is damaged, blocked drain repair.
Wentworthville, Westmead and Toongabbie all fall within our usual coverage.

Common questions
CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
Can you fit in a camera survey today if I call now?
Often, yes. We run camera surveys on a same-day basis across Wentworthville wherever the booking allows, and a real person answers the phone to confirm it.
If the camera finds roots in the line, does that always mean digging?
Not always. Once the footage shows exactly where the roots are, a jet blast handles most of them without a shovel touching the ground. A dig only comes into it once the pipe itself has actually given way.
What kind of camera gear do you actually use for the survey?
A waterproof push camera with a self-levelling head, run on a cable that also measures distance, so we know exactly how far into the line a problem sits, not just roughly where.
Does a CCTV survey need to be carried out by a licensed plumber?
The survey itself doesn't legally require one, but ours are, so anything the footage shows can move straight into a licensed repair quote without bringing someone else in.
How much does CCTV drain inspection cost?
Length of pipe and ease of access are the two big drivers here. We'll settle that with you before any camera work starts, so there's never a surprise figure on the invoice.
What situations actually call for a CCTV drain inspection rather than just a clear?
Repeat blockages, buying a home, or planning a renovation near existing drains are the three we see most. Any of those is reason enough to see what's actually down there first.
