Early detection through a CCTV drain camera inspection can catch a cracked pipe, offset joint or grease build-up while it's still a straightforward fix. Pick up the phone and speak with a local plumber who can talk you through what to expect, then arrange for a technician to come out and take a proper look inside your pipes.

Not Sure What's Wrong With Your Drains?

Common Drainage Problems Hiding Below Your Thorneside Property

A slow kitchen drain, a toilet that keeps blocking, or a damp patch appearing on the lawn can all point to something happening well below the surface. Tree root intrusion, collapsed sections, offset joints and grease build-up are common culprits found during a drain camera inspection, and each one behaves differently underground. Without a proper pipe inspection camera, most plumbers are left guessing at the cause, which often means unnecessary excavation or repeat call-outs.

Older homes throughout Thorneside and neighbouring Redland suburbs often have clay or earthenware pipes that have shifted over the decades, creating bellies and cracks that trap waste and invite roots. Stormwater pits and downpipes can also silt up or crack, leading to pooling water around the yard during heavy rain. Left unchecked, these issues tend to worsen over time, turning a minor blockage into a collapsed pipe or a costly sewer line repair.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      A drain camera inspection might be new to you, so our team has answered some of the questions we hear most often from Thorneside customers. If you don't find what you're after below, give us a call and we'll talk you through it.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line to capture live video of the pipe's interior. It allows our plumbers to see exactly what's causing a blockage or defect, whether that's a cracked pipe, tree root intrusion, or a build-up of grease and debris, without needing to dig up your yard first.
      Signs worth investigating include slow-draining sinks or toilets, gurgling noises from your plumbing, unpleasant odours near gullies, or a blockage that keeps returning despite clearing it. A camera inspection is also worthwhile before purchasing a property, undertaking a renovation, or when preparing documentation for an insurance claim.
      High-pressure jetting clears debris and roots from a pipe, but it doesn't reveal why the blockage happened in the first place. Running a camera through the line afterward lets us confirm the pipe is genuinely clear and identify any structural issues, such as an offset joint or a belly in the pipe, that cleaning alone cannot fix.
      Every CCTV drain inspection completed by our team includes recorded footage along with a plain-language written report outlining what we found. This documentation is useful for your own records, for builders and certifiers, or as supporting evidence for insurers.
      A pre-purchase drain inspection can reveal issues that aren't visible during a standard building inspection, such as root intrusion, cracked pipes, or an ageing sewer connection. Knowing the condition of the drainage system beforehand gives you a clearer picture of any repairs you might need to plan for down the track.
      Our drain cameras suit sewer lines, house drains, stormwater pits and downpipes alike. If you're noticing pooling water in the yard or a soggy patch that won't dry out, a stormwater camera inspection can often explain what's happening underground without any exploratory digging.
