How Our Drain Camera Inspections Pinpoint Problems: Professional CCTV, Geelong
Worried about the hassle of diagnosing drainage issues? Our CCTV drain inspections make the process quick, clean, and painless for both residential and commercial customers. Here’s how our professional CCTV drain inspection process works:
Step 1.
Initial Assessment
We begin by discussing your drainage concerns, checking affected areas, and understanding any symptoms you’ve noticed. This helps us target our inspection to the most likely problem spots.
Step 2.
Set Up of Drain CCTV Camera
Our licensed master plumbers prepare specialist drain video equipment, selecting the right camera size for your pipes and setting up our high resolution monitoring system to capture clear footage of your drain’s interior.
Step 3.
CCTV Drain Inspection
We carefully insert our waterproof camera into your drainage system, navigating through pipes while recording real-time footage. The camera transmits clear images to our monitor, allowing us to identify blockages, cracks, tree roots, or other issues.
Step 4.
Problem Identification
Using our expertise and the crystal-clear footage from our drain CCTV camera, we identify exactly what’s causing your drainage issues and precisely where the problem is located.
Step 5.
Discussion About Solutions
We show you the actual footage of your drains (if you’re interested) and explain, in plain English, what we’ve found.
We’ll then recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution tailored to your specific situation.
Step 6.
Completion and Documentation
We complete the work and run checks to ensure your drains are clear and good to go. We can provide you with a detailed report of our findings, including video footage and images of any issues discovered during our inspection. This information is handy for insurance claims or property records.

CCTV Drain Camera Surveys, Sewer and Stormwater
A CCTV drain survey is the no-dig way to see inside your pipes. We feed a waterproof drain camera through the line and watch a live screen as it goes. It works on sewer drains, stormwater lines and under-slab pipes, for homes and businesses across Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine.
What Our Drain Cameras Find
- Tree roots growing through pipe joints
- Cracked, broken or collapsed pipes
- Blockages from grease, wipes and debris
- Pipe offsets and misaligned joints
- Sagging pipes and bellies that hold water
- Corrosion and worn-out pipe
- Incorrect falls that stop a drain flowing
When You Need a CCTV Drain Inspection
- Drains that keep blocking in the same spot
- Before you buy a house, as a pre-purchase drain check
- Before pipe relining or repairs, to map the fault
- Slow drains, gurgling, or bad smells
- After heavy storms or flooding
- For an insurance claim, with footage and a report
- New builds and renovations, to sign off the drainage
CCTV for Blocked and Recurring Drains
If a drain keeps blocking in the same spot, there is a reason under the ground. Clearing it with a machine fixes the symptom for a while, then the blockage comes back. A camera finds the cause, a tree root, a sag in the pipe, or a crack letting soil in, so we fix it properly and stop the callbacks.
Tree roots are the number one cause of blocked drains in older Geelong suburbs, where clay pipes give roots an easy way in. The camera shows how far the roots have spread, and whether the pipe can be cleared and relined or needs replacing.
We Locate the Problem, Not Just See It
Seeing the fault is only half the job. Our cameras carry a sonde, a small transmitter that lets us mark the exact spot and depth of the problem from above ground. So if a pipe needs digging up or relining, we point straight to it, with no guessing and no digging up the whole yard to find one broken joint.
Pre-Purchase Drain Inspections in Geelong
Buying a house is the worst time to inherit a drain problem. A pre-purchase CCTV drain inspection shows you the state of the pipes before you sign, not after. We check the sewer and stormwater lines for tree roots, cracks and old clay pipe, and hand you the footage and a written report for your conveyancer or building inspector. If the drains need work, you find out before you buy.
Commercial and Strata Drain Inspections
We also camera commercial and strata drainage across Geelong, from cafes and shops to unit blocks and factories. Bigger sites mean longer pipe runs and more at stake, so a clear report of what is happening underground helps property managers plan repairs and budget for them.
How Much Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Cost in Geelong?
The cost depends on how much pipe we camera, and whether we clear a blockage at the same time. Most home jobs are one upfront price we give you before we start, so there is no bill shock. We often run the camera straight after clearing a blocked drain, which saves you a second call-out. Either way, you keep the footage and a written report. Call 1300 625 633 for a fixed quote.

More Common Questions
Can you run a camera through a blocked drain?
Usually we clear the blockage first with a drain machine or high-pressure jetter, then run the camera through the clean pipe so we can see what caused it. That way you find the real problem, not just clear it and hope.
Do you inspect both sewer and stormwater drains?
Yes. We camera sewer drains, stormwater lines and under-slab pipes on homes and commercial sites across Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine.
