Drain Camera Inspections

A CCTV drain inspection takes the guesswork out of drain problems. We push a high-definition camera through your sewer, stormwater, or drainage pipes and record exactly what is going on inside. Tree roots, cracks, collapsed sections, grease buildup — you see it on screen in real time.

The reports and the camera recordings help save time and money by removing the guesswork from the process. Our staff is highly trained to identify all drain and pipe defects, so you can be assured of comprehensive advice once the drain camera inspection is complete. 
The Blocked Drain Guys provide CCTV drain inspections across Sutherland Shire and Sydney.

Why Use CCTV Drain Cameras?

A Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) camera is a diagnostic device that we use to obtain accurate, real-time visual data from a piping or drainage system. 

With a drain inspection camera, we can perform a proper, thorough inspection of your system without digging or excavation. 

Our Drain Camera Inspections include the following:

  • CCTV cameras with self-levelling heads.
  • CCTV footage of underground pipes with on-screen distance counters for precise measurements.
  • Radiofrequency information is relayed to our operator from the remote camera head for precise positioning.
  • Record the location and depth of underground infrastructure, tree root intrusion, broken pipes, debris and grease buildup.

When Is It Necessary To Use A Drain Camera?

  • To locate blockages: If your drains and pipes are blocked, we will likely need to send down a drain camera. Many foreign objects, can get stuck in pipes and drains occasionally and cause severe blockages that can lead to problems.
  • Misalignment: Over time, the ground can shift, causing misalignment of the pipe network. This can cause leaks that need to be repaired.
  • Tree roots: 95% of pipe blockages are caused by tree roots searching for water and proteins.

Once we discover the problem, we’ll promptly provide you with a recommendation on how to proceed. After we have cleaned and repaired your drain and pipe network, we will perform a re-inspection via the drain inspection camera to ensure that all problems have been corrected. 

By investing in proper drainage solutions, you can avoid these problems and protect your home and family.

CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

Common questions about drain camera inspections answered by Sydney drainage experts

We insert a waterproof camera on a flexible cable into your drain to see exactly what’s inside—blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe damage. The live video feed shows us the condition of your pipes and pinpoints problem areas without guessing or unnecessary digging.

If you have recurring blockages, slow drains, foul odors, or suspect pipe damage. It’s also recommended before buying a property (pre-purchase inspections), after drainage repairs (to confirm they worked), or as part of preventative maintenance.

Typically $250-$400 depending on the length and accessibility of your drainage system. We often include camera inspection as part of diagnosing a blockage, so you’re not paying twice.

Yes. The camera has a distance counter and transmitter, so we can measure depth and locate the exact position—even under driveways or garden beds. This prevents unnecessary excavation or guesswork.

Absolutely. We show you the live feed or recorded footage and explain what we’re seeing. You’ll see the blockage, cracks, roots, or pipe condition firsthand. We can also provide a USB copy for your records or insurance claims.

Yes. The camera clearly shows root intrusion, how severe it is, and where roots are entering the pipe. This helps us recommend the right fix—jetting, relining, or targeted repairs—instead of guessing.
