CCTV Drain Inspection Melbourne

See inside your drains before you spend a cent on repairs

A CCTV drain inspection takes the guesswork out of drain problems. We push a high-resolution camera through your pipes and see exactly what’s going on - blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, joint failures. You watch the footage live on a monitor and know exactly what needs fixing before any work starts.

What is a CCTV drain inspection?

It’s a camera survey of the inside of your drain and sewer pipes. The camera head is waterproof and self-levelling, so it sends back clear footage regardless of pipe conditions. It records location, depth, and distance as it travels through the pipe.We use CCTV inspections to diagnose blockages, assess pipe condition, locate damage, and verify repairs. It’s included on every blocked drain job we do - and we offer it as a standalone service for insurance claims and general peace of mind.

When you need a drain camera inspection

A camera inspection makes sense in these situations:

• Recurring drain blockages - the camera shows why they keep coming back
• Renovating - check drain condition before building over them
• Insurance claims - video evidence of drain damage for your insurer
• After storm or tree damage - assess the extent of pipe damage
• Before relining or repair - we need to see the damage to quote accurately

How the inspection works

Simple process, usually done in under an hour.

1. Access the drain - We insert the camera through an access point: overflow gully, cleanout, or inspection opening. No digging needed.
2. Camera survey - The camera travels through the pipe recording high-definition footage. It logs distance, depth, and location as it goes. We can inspect sewer, stormwater, and sub-floor drainage.
3. Live viewing - You watch the footage on screen with us. We point out any problems as the camera passes them - roots, cracks, buildup, joint offsets, bellied sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?

The price depends on how many pipes need inspecting and the access points. It’s included free on all blocked drain clearing jobs. Call 1300 303 247 for a quote.

How long does a drain camera inspection take?

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes. A full property inspection with multiple drain lines can take up to 90 minutes. We work efficiently - you don’t need to take a full day off.

Can you inspect stormwater drains with CCTV?

Yes. We inspect both sewer and stormwater drainage systems. Stormwater pipes tend to be larger and carry different debris (mud, leaves, silt), but the camera works the same way.

Do I get a copy of the footage?

Yes. Every inspection comes with a copy of the recorded footage. You can use it to review the findings with us during the inspection.
