Professional CCTV Drain Surveys
A CCTV drain survey is the most accurate way to assess the condition of your underground drainage system. Blocked Drain Plumber uses professional high-definition drain cameras to survey pipes near you — producing clear video footage, precise defect locations, and a full condition report.
CCTV surveys are used for pre-purchase property checks, diagnosing recurring blocked drains, investigating foul odours, locating underground pipes before excavation, and providing evidence for insurance claims. Our surveys are non-invasive, accurate, and completed the same day.
Why Choose Drain Plumber for CCTV Drain Survey
HD Camera Technology
Our professional drain cameras produce sharp, clear footage of pipe interiors — revealing cracks, root intrusion, displaced joints, and blockages with precision.
Accurate Defect Location
We use sonde transmitters and above-ground locating equipment to mark defect positions precisely on the surface — accurate to within centimetres.
All Pipe Sizes Surveyed
From 50mm household waste pipes to 600mm stormwater mains — our equipment covers the full range of drain sizes found in residential and commercial properties.
Same-Day Full Report
You receive a complete written report with video footage and still photographs the same day as the survey — ready for transactions, insurance, or repair planning.
What Can a CCTV Survey Find?
-
Blockages & Obstructions Solid blockages, grease buildup, and root masses visible on camera — and located precisely so clearance is targeted and effective.
-
Cracked & Broken Pipes Hairline cracks to complete pipe breaks clearly visible on camera — preventing undetected leaks causing damp and ground subsidence.
-
Root Intrusion Tree roots entering through pipe joints and cracks — a very common problem in established residential suburbs.
-
Displaced Joints Pipe joints that have shifted out of alignment restrict flow and allow root entry — clearly identified on camera.
-
Incorrect Falls Pipes laid at the wrong gradient retain waste and cause persistent blocked drains — identifiable and correctable once found.
