Hidden drain issues can cause big headaches if left unchecked. A CCTV drain inspection lets us see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, so repairs are quicker, cleaner, and more accurate.
A drain camera inspection is often the first step, but it is rarely the last. Explore our full range of plumbing services to see how we handle everything from fixing the blockage we find to carrying out long-term repairs that stop it coming back.
Here’s a snapshot of the feedback we’re proud to receive every week.
These are the principles we bring to every job, whether we are inspecting a single drain or an entire property.
We know the difference between a quick look and a thorough check. Our plumbers take the time to find the real cause of the problem so the repair is right the first time.
Customers see what we see. We share images and footage, explain the findings in plain English, and outline options clearly before any work begins.

Plumbing problems are stressful. We focus on clear communication, respectful service, and leaving each site as tidy as we found it.
A camera inspection is only the first step. We use what we learn to recommend repairs that solve problems properly, not temporary fixes that leave you calling us again.
Drain problems are often hidden from sight, which makes them tricky to diagnose. A CCTV drain inspection takes away the guesswork. Here’s what our plumbers think you should know about how they work and why they matter.
If the same drain keeps blocking up, it usually means there is a deeper issue. Unexplained smells, damp patches in the garden, or drains that gurgle when other fixtures are used are also signs it is time for an inspection. Many Melbourne homeowners also choose to have a CCTV check before buying or renovating to make sure there are no nasty surprises underground.
These inspections uncover problems you cannot confirm any other way. Tree roots pushing through old clay pipes, cracks caused by shifting soil, collapsed sections, or poor connections from earlier work all show up clearly on camera. Even built-up grease or debris is easy to spot.
Without a camera, plumbers often have to dig up floors, driveways, or gardens to locate the issue. A CCTV inspection pinpoints the exact spot, so repairs are faster and more targeted. This not only reduces labour costs but also prevents unnecessary damage to your property.
Once we have the footage, we review it with you in plain English. You will see photos or a video of the problem, and we will outline the repair options clearly before starting any work. This way, you know exactly what is going on in your drains and what it will take to fix them.
It’s a tiny camera on a long cable: simple idea, tricky execution. First, we run the CCTV drain camera through your pipes to see what’s causing the trouble. Then, we fix it.
We track the camera’s location above ground so we know exactly where the issue is hiding. Whether it’s under the lawn, driveway, or bathroom floor, we can get to it without playing a guessing game.
You don’t have to take our word for it. We’ll show you the video in real time and explain what’s what. If it’s something small, we can often fix it on the spot. If it’s bigger, we’ll talk through your options before taking action.
We’ll get to work once you’ve approved the plans and costs, whether that’s high-pressure jet cleaning or a full pipe relining. We’ll get it sorted before it turns into a bigger, costlier job.
If you’ve got a blocked drain, slow sink, or mystery plumbing problem somewhere in the southern suburbs, we can be there the same day with our camera in hand.
CCTV drain inspections are one of the quickest ways to diagnose issues in busy commercial settings. We work with developers, facility managers and local businesses across Melbourne to provide accurate information that helps keep projects and operations running smoothly.
Accurate diagnostics save time, reduce repair costs and prevent problems from resurfacing. That is the value of a proper drain camera inspection.

Got questions about how it works, what it costs, or what it can find? We’ve put together some answers to help you out.
Absolutely. Our CCTV camera isn’t picky about where it goes. It’s built to navigate all kinds of pipes and drains, including stormwater pipes and sewer lines. If there’s a drainage problem that’s got you scratching your head, we can run a thorough inspection of your stormwater system to find the trouble spot.
A lot of stormwater issues come down to tree root intrusion, built-up debris, or a damaged section you can’t see from the surface. Using advanced CCTV pipe inspection, we can pinpoint the exact location of the problem without ripping up your driveway or garden. From there, we’ll talk you through the best fix, whether that’s drain cleaning with a high-pressure water jet or a targeted repair.
Because stormwater issues often tie into the sewer, we can check both in the same visit. It’s a cost-effective way to get peace of mind and keep the whole system flowing properly before the next big downpour.
Not at all. Our CCTV inspection services in Melbourne are completely non-invasive and carried out by fully qualified plumbers. The camera is inserted through an existing drain access point, so there’s no need for heavy excavation or tearing up your lawn.
The process is simple:
The only thing we leave behind is the knowledge of exactly what’s going on in your drains. You’ll also get to see the drain camera inspection footage yourself, so you know we’re giving you straight answers. And if we spot a leak or damaged section, we can often pair it with our pipe relining service to get it fixed with minimal disruption.
Definitely, and that’s one of the biggest reasons people call us. Without a camera, you’re often guessing where the source of the blockage or damage is hiding. Guesswork can mean tearing up the wrong section of your yard, costing time and money.
With our CCTV drain camera inspection services, we can pinpoint the exact location of the problem in your drain and pipe system. Whether it’s root intrusion, a cracked section, or something wedged in there, our CCTV method lets us find it without digging first.
Once we’ve found the root cause, we can plan the most cost-effective way to repair your drain, like a full sewer line clean. The result? You only dig where you absolutely have to, saving your landscaping and your budget.
Yes, our plumbing services cover everything from family homes to big commercial setups. Whether you’ve got a café kitchen drain backing up or a warehouse dealing with constant drainage issues, we’ve got the gear and the crew to get it sorted.
Our plumbing group works throughout Melbourne, so we’re familiar with the unique challenges in different settings. For commercial jobs, we can also provide a full CCTV drain survey report for your records or for a structural engineer if major work is needed.
From small drain plumbing issues to major faults in large-scale piping systems, our professional service stays the same: fast response, clear answers, and solutions that work. If we find a blockage that needs clearing straight away, we can often sort it with our blocked drain service on the spot.
You’d be surprised by what our CCTV technology has picked up. Because the camera is inserted directly into the line, we can spot all sorts of trouble before it gets worse.
Common finds include:
It’s not just about spotting blockages. We can also assess the condition of your drains, identify blockages early, and check for weaknesses that might lead to future problems. And if the camera shows a major crack or collapse, we can follow up with boundary trap replacement or targeted repairs before it turns into a full-blown emergency.
Drain camera inspections in Melbourne typically run around $200 per hour. But that depends on a few factors, like how complex your drainage system is. We give reliable and affordable fixed per-hour quotes before starting, so you’ll know exactly what you’re up for. But, the most important thing is that our prices are fixed and upfront.
For most standard residential jobs, we can give you a quote on the spot after a quick chat about your setup. If you’ve got multiple drainage issues or a large commercial site, we might recommend a more detailed CCTV drain camera survey to make sure we cover every section.
Either way, you’re getting a professional service that’s far cheaper than unnecessary excavation, and it often saves you from bigger repair bills down the track. And if the inspection shows a blockage that needs urgent attention, we can follow up with our emergency plumbing service so you’re not left waiting.
