Six Signs Your Drains Are Asking for Help
A camera survey earns its keep when the symptoms don't add up. These are the classic triggers.
- The same blockage reappearing however many times it's cleared
- Slow drains with no obvious cause you can point to
- A patch of garden that stays wet between rains
- Drain smells that come and go without a pattern
- Gurgling that moves around the house week to week
- You're buying a property and the drains are an unknown
A recurring blockage in particular is a pipe problem until proven otherwise, and blocked drain repair is often where the footage leads.
CCTV Drain Inspection: What We Actually Do
The camera turns a hidden pipe into something you can actually look at and make decisions about.
- Surveying sewer and stormwater lines from access point to boundary
- Locating cracks, breaks, root entry and collapsed sections precisely
- Diagnosing why a blockage keeps coming back
- Pre-purchase drain checks before you commit to a property
- Recording footage you can keep, not just a verbal opinion
Every finding is shown to you on the screen, not described in jargon afterwards. You see what we see.
If the line is too blocked for the camera to pass, we'll clear enough to get visibility first and fold that into the one visit.
What the Footage Usually Turns Up
After enough surveys, the same culprits keep appearing. Knowing which one you've got changes the fix entirely.
- Tree roots threaded in through pipe joints, from fine hairs to full root balls
- Cracks and fractures where ground movement has stressed the pipe
- Bellies and backfalls, the low spots where water sits and waste settles
- Sections that have collapsed inward and choked the flow
- Grease and scale narrowing the pipe from the inside
Roots point to a joint problem, a belly points to bedding, and grease points to habits. Three different findings, three completely different price tags, which is why we look before we quote.
The Factors Behind a CCTV Drain Inspection Quote
Inspection pricing is simpler than repair pricing, and it moves on a short list.
- How many metres of pipe the survey covers
- How many access points and junctions are involved
- Sewer only, stormwater only, or both systems
- Whether a locator trace is needed to map the line's exact path
Gladesville's mixed streets add one wrinkle: a heritage cottage and a 2000s unit block can sit metres apart, and their pipes read very differently on camera. Surveying an older line with multiple materials takes longer than a single modern run.
The figure is fixed before we start, with best price guaranteed behind it.
What We See in Gladesville Drains
Gladesville's housing stock is genuinely mixed: detached houses, heritage properties and apartment blocks share the same streets, often the same block.
Around Massey Street, that mix means one inspection might read century-old earthenware while the next door survey is all modern PVC.
Buyers should take note: around here, kerb appeal says nothing about the age of the pipe underneath, which is exactly what a pre-purchase survey answers.
For strata buildings, shared lines make the footage doubly useful, because it shows exactly where a problem sits and therefore whose responsibility it is.
Who Can Legally Work on Your Drains
Anyone can own a camera. The licence matters when the footage needs interpreting and acting on, because drainage work in NSW belongs to licensed plumbers.
We inspect and fix under the same licence, #292427C, fully insured for water and gas. Whoever reads your footage is also qualified to repair what it shows, which keeps the advice honest.
How We Work Through a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
Set up at the best access point. Usually an inspection opening or the gully, chosen to cover the most line.
Run the camera through. The full length gets surveyed, not just the spot where symptoms show.
Show you the findings live. Each problem gets pointed out on the screen the moment it appears.
Report and recommend. You get the footage, the diagnosis and a written price for any fix worth doing.
Most surveys wrap up within the hour. Nothing gets recommended that the footage doesn't support, which is the entire point of looking first.
The Difference on a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
An inspection is only as honest as the person holding the camera. Our quote comes from what's on the screen, and you keep the footage either way.
That cuts both ways: when the footage shows nothing worth fixing, that's the report you get.
One reviewer, Shirley, put it in a way we've never bettered: what was promised on the way in was exactly what showed up in person.
Best price guaranteed applies here as everywhere, so certainty doesn't cost a premium.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
CCTV inspections run across Gladesville and over to Ryde, Putney, Macquarie Park, Meadowbank and West Ryde.
When the footage points to build-up rather than damage, drain cleaning is usually the next step, and blocked sewer work covers the deeper line.

Gladesville CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
What homeowners ask us before putting a camera down the drain.
What warranty comes with CCTV drain inspection?
The inspection gives you an honest, evidence-backed report. Any repair work that follows from it is covered by our lifetime labour warranty.
Do I need a licensed plumber for a blocked drain?
Yes, for any work in the drain itself. Licensing also matters for inspections: reading pipe footage correctly takes a plumber who knows what failure actually looks like.
Do you charge a call-out fee for CCTV drain inspection?
No, the visit itself costs you nothing. First-time customers take $65 off the job as well.
How much does CCTV drain inspection cost?
It scales with the length of line being surveyed and the number of access openings involved. The figure is settled and in writing before the camera goes in.
Can you do CCTV drain inspection in Gladesville the same day I call?
Usually. Same-day service applies to inspections just as it does to clearing work, so ring (02) 9134 9097 and we'll fit you in.
How long does CCTV drain inspection take?
Most residential surveys run under an hour. A long line with several junctions, or a full pre-purchase check, typically takes a bit more.
