Licensed Drain Camera Inspection Experts
CCTV Drain Inspection Sydney
See exactly what is wrong inside your pipes, before you pay to fix it.
When a drain keeps blocking and nobody can tell you why, the answer is usually inside the pipe. Our CCTV drain inspection Sydney service sends a waterproof drain camera down the line, streams live footage to a screen, and shows you the real cause, whether that is tree roots, a cracked pipe, or a collapsed section, without digging up your property to find out.

Stop guessing, start seeing
Stop clearing the same drain and start looking inside it
Recurring blocked drains almost never happen by accident. If a drain keeps backing up after every clean, something inside the pipe is causing it, and clearing alone will never keep it clear.
A CCTV drain inspection is the fastest, least invasive way to find out what is really going on underground. We CCTV drains, sewers and stormwater lines right across Sydney, feed a camera through an existing access point, and watch the live picture together so you can see the blockage, damage or tree roots for yourself. No trenches dug on a hunch, no paying to clear the same line twice. Our drain camera inspection turns guesswork into a clear picture of the pipe, so the next repair is the right one.
The process
How Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Work?
Every job follows the same clear, four-step process, so you always know what is happening under your property and you finish with evidence, not opinions.
What the camera finds
What Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Show?
A drain camera can detect the hidden faults that surface clearing simply cannot reach. These are the problems we most often find inside Sydney pipes.
Because you see the footage yourself, you get proof of the problem before agreeing to any repair. That is the point of the inspection: an accurate diagnosis first, so you can choose between drain clearing, pipe relining or excavation with confidence, instead of paying to find out the hard way.
What we inspect
CCTV Drain Camera Inspection for Sewer and Stormwater
Our CCTV drain camera inspection covers the full range of underground drainage, from a single blocked kitchen line to an entire property network. We handle residential, strata and commercial systems right across Sydney.
Sewer lines
A sewer camera inspection finds root intrusion, cracks and blockages in the wastewater line, from the fixtures inside to the point of connection.
Stormwater systems
A stormwater drain camera inspection checks for silt, debris, damage and standing water in stormwater pipes and pits after heavy rain.
Residential, strata and commercial
From homes to unit blocks and business sites, we inspect the lines that matter and schedule around your day where we can.
If the camera confirms a blockage, we can clear it with high-pressure water jetting or an electric eel, and if it is roots breaking in through the pipe, our tree root damage service treats the cause. One team inspects the pipe and carries out the repair, so nothing gets lost between a diagnosis and a fix.
Two jobs a camera does best
CCTV Pipe Inspection Sydney: Pre-Purchase and Recurring Blockages
Two situations bring most people to a camera. Both come down to the same thing: knowing the true condition of the pipe before you spend money.
Buying or renovating a property
Underground drainage is one of the most expensive things to get wrong after settlement. A pre-purchase drain inspection shows the real condition of the pipes before you buy or renovate, so you are not inheriting a collapsed sewer or a root-filled line. It is a small check against a large risk, and it is worth knowing where your responsibility as an owner begins. Sydney Water sets out which pipes a property owner is responsible for, which is exactly the section a camera assesses.
Recurring blocked drains
If the same drain keeps blocking, a blocked drain CCTV check finds out why once, instead of clearing it again and again. The camera shows whether the cause is roots, a crack, a belly in the line or a collapse, so the fix actually holds. This is the difference between treating a symptom and treating the cause.
Whether it is a home, a strata block or a commercial site, our CCTV pipe inspection Sydney service gives you documented evidence of the pipe’s condition, so every decision after it is an informed one.
Honest pricing
CCTV Drain Survey Cost in Sydney
The honest answer to how much does a CCTV drain inspection cost is that it depends on the job. We confirm your price up front, never guess it blind, because a few things change the drain camera inspection cost.
Pipe length
How far the camera needs to travel. A short kitchen line is quicker than a long run to the main.
Access
Whether there is an existing cleanout, or the line has to be reached a harder way.
Number of lines
Inspecting one drain versus surveying a whole property network of sewer and stormwater.
Pipe condition
A pipe full of silt or sewage often needs jetting first so the camera can see clearly.
Reporting level
A verbal walk-through of the footage, versus a full written report for council or insurance.
What is included
$0 call-out, and you approve the price before any work starts. No surprises.
Because every property is different, we do not publish a one-size price for a CCTV drain survey. What we do promise is a clear quote up front and no call-out fee. You can also confirm you are dealing with a licensed team using the NSW Government licence check before you book, so you know the person coming out is qualified to work on your drainage.
Evidence, then the right fix
What Happens After the Inspection
The camera is only useful if it leads to the right decision. We give you evidence-based recommendations based on the actual condition of the pipe, not assumptions.
The inspection points to the cause
Why clearing alone keeps failing
If the footage shows the pipe is beyond a clear, we walk you through pipe relining or pipe replacement. No pressure, no upsell.
A collapsed pipe under a footpath or road can even be a shared responsibility with the water authority. Sydney Water explains how private pipe responsibilities work, and CCTV footage is exactly the evidence those claims require, which is one more reason to get the inspection documented properly.
Answers, straight up
CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
A waterproof drain camera on a flexible rod is fed into the pipe through an existing access point, such as a cleanout or inspection opening. It streams live footage to a screen while an onboard sonde lets us locate the exact position and depth of any fault from the surface. You see the picture in real time, so there is no digging just to find the problem.
A CCTV drain inspection shows the inside condition of the pipe: tree root intrusion, cracks and broken sections, collapsed pipe, displaced joints and offsets, blockages and build-up, and corrosion in older lines. It also pinpoints where the fault is, so any repair is targeted rather than guessed.
The cost depends on the length of the pipe, access, how many lines you need surveyed, the condition of the pipe, and whether you need a written report. Rather than quote blind, we confirm your price up front with a $0 call-out and no work until you approve it. Ask us for a quote for your specific drain.
A straightforward residential drain camera inspection usually takes under an hour once we have access. A larger property with multiple sewer and stormwater lines, or a full written survey, can take longer. We give you a realistic time frame when you book.
Yes. When a drain keeps blocking after every clean, the pipe is usually damaged. A blocked drain CCTV inspection shows whether the cause is tree roots, a crack, a belly in the line or a collapse, so the repair actually fixes the problem instead of clearing the same line over and over.
It is strongly recommended, especially for older homes. A pre-purchase drain inspection reveals the true condition of underground drainage before you commit, so a collapsed sewer or root-filled line does not become your problem after settlement. It is a small cost against a potentially large repair.
Yes. The camera enters through an existing access point, so there is no excavation just to see inside the pipe. That is the main advantage of a CCTV drain survey: an accurate diagnosis without digging up your garden, driveway or floor to find the fault.
Yes. We walk you through the footage on site so you can see the condition of the pipe for yourself, and we can provide a written report where you need one for council, insurance or a property purchase. You get documented evidence of the problem, not just a verbal opinion.
