Workmanship
Why Use A CCTV Camera Drain Inspection?
What Can Our Drainage Cameras See?
We don’t believe in half-measures. When we run a comprehensive sewer or stormwater line diagnostic check, our specialized equipment spots every hidden flaw, including:
- Tree Root Intrusion: Catching aggressive roots that have cracked their way into your lines before they cause a collapse.
- Misaligned Pipe Joints: Finding sections where the ground has shifted, creating jagged lips that snag waste.
- Cracked or Collapsed Lines: Identifying structural breaks in older earthenware, copper, or PVC pipes.
- Foreign Objects & Sludge: Spotting severe grease build-ups, wet wipes, and debris restricting your water flow.
- Sagging Pipes (Bellies): Locating low points in the line where water sits stagnant and creates chronic blockages.
Critical Signs Your System Needs A Camera Check
Wondering if you actually need to call out a CCTV drain inspection team? Give us a buzz if your property is dealing with any of these annoying issues:
- Multiple fixtures (sinks, showers, toilets) are draining slowly at the same time
- A foul, sulphur-like sewage smell wafts up from your floor wastes or yard
- Toilets that glug, bubble, or gurgle loudly whenever you run the washing machine
- Sewer access points or grates in your yard are overflowing with murky water
- A recurring blockage that keeps happening every few months despite being cleared

Precision Pipe
Locating
Using advanced radio transmitter sondes on our camera heads to mark out the exact depth and path of your pipes right through concrete or dirt.
Post-Clearance Verification
After blasting out a blockage with our water jetter, we run the camera back through to prove the line is 100% clean and undamaged.
The Clarkies Camera Inspection Process
Here is what you can expect when Clark and the team roll up to your property to inspect your lines:
We locate an existing boundary trap, inspection opening, or overflow gully to enter the line cleanly.
We feed the high-res camera through your line, recording all structural flaws and measuring the exact distances.
We sit down with you on-site, show you the footage, explain the problem and provide a clear plan to repair it.
CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
Do you provide copies of the camera footage?
How deep down can your drainage cameras go?
Can a camera clear out the blockage itself?
Can a CCTV inspection locate tree roots in my pipes?
Yes. The camera can show where roots have entered the drainage system and reveal any cracks, displaced joints or damaged sections that allowed the intrusion.
Is a CCTV drain inspection useful before buying a property?
Yes. An inspection can identify concealed drainage problems that may not appear during a standard building inspection, helping you understand whether repairs could be required after purchase.
Do you need to dig up the ground to inspect my drains?
Usually not. The camera is inserted through a suitable inspection opening, boundary trap or other accessible entry point, allowing the pipes to be examined with minimal disruption.
