Precision Diagnostics
Accurate Drain Diagnosis with Camera Technology
When a drain keeps blocking, smells persist, or you suspect hidden damage, a drain camera inspection provides the definitive answer. Our compact push rod cameras navigate through smaller drain lines that larger CCTV crawlers can't access, from kitchen waste pipes and bathroom drains to stormwater channels and downpipe connections.
Our drain camera equipment is specifically designed for smaller diameter pipes (50mm to 150mm) commonly found in household and light commercial drainage systems. The flexible push rod cameras can navigate bends, junctions, and traps that larger sewer cameras cannot reach, providing clear HD footage of even the most hard to access drain lines.
Drain camera inspections are particularly valuable for diagnosing the cause of recurring blockages, locating the exact position of a blockage before clearing, checking for hidden leaks behind walls or under floors, verifying the condition of drain lines before property purchase, and planning renovation projects that affect existing drainage.
Unlike sewer CCTV surveys that focus on main lines, drain camera inspections cover the smaller branch lines that connect individual fixtures to the main drain. This comprehensive approach ensures we identify every issue in your drainage system, not just the obvious ones. We often find that problems attributed to the main sewer line actually originate in a branch drain.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Drain camera inspections use compact, flexible push rod cameras designed for smaller pipes (50 to 150mm) like kitchen drains, bathroom pipes, and branch connections. CCTV sewer inspections use larger crawler cameras for main sewer lines (150 to 600mm). For a complete picture, both types may be needed.
Yes. Our cameras can identify cracks, joint separations, and other defects where water may be leaking. Combined with moisture detection, drain camera inspection is an effective way to locate hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, or in buried pipe sections without any demolition.
Absolutely. A pre purchase drain inspection can reveal hidden problems like cracked pipes, root intrusion, bellied sections, and improper connections that could cost thousands to fix. It's one of the best investments you can make when buying a property.
