What's Causing Trouble Inside Your Pipes?
Some drainage problems are easy to spot. Others are hidden underground, where it's difficult to know what's going wrong.
You might have a drain that keeps blocking, even after it's been cleared. Perhaps your toilet is gurgling, water is draining slowly, or there's an unpleasant smell coming from your pipes.
These problems can have several causes, and a CCTV drain camera inspection helps us take a closer look.
Our plumbers can use camera inspections to investigate:
- Tree root intrusion: Roots can enter damaged pipe joints, grow inside the pipe and restrict water flow.
- Cracked or broken pipes: Underground pipes can become damaged over time, allowing soil and roots to enter.
- Blocked drains: Grease, debris and other materials can build up inside pipes and stop wastewater flowing freely.
- Misaligned pipe joints: Sections of pipe can shift, creating gaps or areas where waste collects.
- Collapsed pipes: A badly damaged pipe may restrict or completely stop drainage.
Instead of guessing what might be wrong, we can examine the inside of the pipe and identify visible signs of damage or obstruction.
How Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Work?
A CCTV pipe inspection allows our plumbers to see inside underground drainage pipes using a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable.
The camera sends live footage to a screen, allowing us to check the condition of the pipe as we move through it.
Here's what happens during an inspection.
1. Accessing Your Drainage System
We start by locating a suitable access point to the drain or sewer pipe. Depending on the property, this could be an existing inspection opening or another accessible section of pipe.
2. Inspecting the Pipe With a Camera
Our plumber feeds the CCTV camera through the pipe while watching the footage on a monitor.
This allows us to look for cracks, tree roots, blockages, damaged joints and other visible problems along the pipe.
3. Locating the Problem
When we find an issue, we can use the camera's locating equipment, where suitable, to help identify its position underground.
This is particularly useful when investigating damaged pipes beneath driveways, gardens or other hard-to-reach areas.
4. Explaining What We've Found
Once the inspection is complete, we'll explain what the camera has revealed and discuss the next steps.
If repairs are needed, we'll recommend a suitable approach based on the condition of the pipe and the problem we've identified.
Know What's Wrong Before You Pay for Repairs
Not every drainage problem needs the same repair.
A build-up of debris might be cleared with professional drain cleaning, while a cracked or damaged pipe could need a more involved solution.
That's why finding the cause matters.
A CCTV inspection can help us decide whether your drain needs cleaning, further investigation or repairs. It can also show whether a blockage is linked to a damaged section of pipe, rather than a simple build-up of waste.
Where suitable, we may recommend pipe relining to repair damaged sections without digging up the entire pipe. In other cases, drain cleaning or replacing the damaged pipework may be the better option.
Our aim is to help you understand the problem and make an informed decision about the work your drainage system needs.
CCTV Inspections for Sewer, Stormwater & Underground Drains
Not all drainage problems happen in the same place. Some affect the sewer pipes carrying wastewater away from your property, while others involve stormwater pipes that move rainwater away from your home.
Our plumbers use CCTV cameras to investigate problems in different types of underground drainage systems.
Sewer Pipe Inspections
Sewer pipes can become blocked by tree roots, waste build-up or damaged pipe sections. A CCTV sewer inspection helps us check the inside of the pipe and identify problems that may be causing slow drainage, recurring blockages or sewage backups.
Stormwater Drain Inspections
Stormwater pipes can collect leaves, dirt, sediment and tree roots. Damaged or blocked pipes may cause water to overflow or collect around your property during heavy rain.
A camera inspection can help identify obstructions and damage so we can recommend the right stormwater drainage solution.
We provide drain camera inspections for residential properties, commercial buildings and properties managed by strata or real estate agencies.

How Much Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Cost in Sydney?
The cost of a CCTV drain inspection depends on the work involved.
For example, inspecting a pipe through an accessible inspection opening may be more straightforward than investigating a drain that's difficult to reach or heavily blocked.
The price can also depend on whether the pipe needs cleaning before the camera can pass through it and whether any additional investigation is required.
At Pure Plumbing Professionals, we provide clear pricing before carrying out the agreed work, so you know what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions About CCTV Drain Inspections
Can a CCTV inspection find tree roots and cracked pipes?
Yes. A CCTV drain camera can show tree roots growing inside pipes, visible cracks, damaged joints and other defects. The footage helps our plumbers assess the condition of the pipe and recommend suitable repairs.
Does a blocked drain need to be cleared before a camera inspection?
Sometimes. If a pipe is completely blocked or filled with debris, the camera may not be able to travel through it or provide a clear view. Our plumbers may recommend clearing the blockage first using appropriate blocked drain cleaning methods.
Can a drain camera inspect underground sewer pipes?
Yes. CCTV cameras are designed to inspect drainage pipes that would otherwise be difficult to access. They allow plumbers to investigate underground sewer lines through suitable access points without digging up the entire pipe.
Will you need to dig up my yard to inspect the pipes?
Usually not. CCTV inspections are generally carried out through existing drainage access points. If a pipe cannot be accessed or the camera cannot pass through a damaged section, further work may be needed. Your plumber can explain the available options.
