What We Handle Under CCTV Drain Inspection
A CCTV inspection isn't one fixed thing. What we run depends on why you've called, whether that's a mystery blockage, a pre-purchase check, or confirming a repair's actually worked.
Locating an active blockage. Rather than guessing where a clog sits, we put a camera down the line and watch exactly where it stops and why.
Pre-purchase and pre-renovation checks. Buying an older Killara home or planning an extension means knowing what's under the slab before you commit, not after.
Confirming a repair or reline. Once a fix is done, we run the camera back through to show the result, not just tell you it worked.
When It Is Time for CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera earns its keep whenever guessing would cost more than checking. These are the usual triggers.
- The same spot blocking again within weeks, however many times it's been jetted clear.
- Signing up to buy an older place and wanting the drains checked before you're locked in.
- A drain cleaning visit that didn't fully explain why the line blocked in the first place.
- Renovation or landscaping plans that might run straight through an existing pipe.
- A smell or damp patch with no obvious source above ground.
- Wanting proof a previous repair actually held, rather than taking it on faith.
What We See in Killara Drains
Killara's older brick and double-brick homes, including plenty along Kalang Avenue, hide their drainage well. Solid masonry and established gardens mean there's rarely an obvious clue about what's happening underground.
That's different to a newer, timber-framed build, where a leak or a shift often shows up in the walls first. Here, a pipe can be cracked or root-affected for years before anything surfaces at ground level.
A camera survey is often the only way to actually see the problem rather than infer it from a damp patch or a slow drain. We'd rather show you the footage than describe a guess.
It's part of why CCTV gets used so often on the older end of the suburb, not just once something's already gone wrong.
What Your CCTV Drain Inspection Quote Depends On
A CCTV job is usually simpler to price than a repair, but a few things still move the quote.
- The total length of pipe being surveyed.
- How many access points we can use versus needing to open one up.
- Whether it's a single straightforward run or a branching system with several fixtures.
- Whether the survey needs to end in something you can hand to a solicitor, or just a plain explanation while we're there.
- Same-day bookings alongside a jet blast, which is when the inspection itself is free.
You'll have the full price before the van's even parked, and a copy of the footage either way.
How the Job Runs and How Long It Takes
- Access point found first. We work out the fastest way into the line, usually an existing gully or cleanout rather than anything new.
- Camera run, live. The line gets surveyed end to end, and you can watch the footage as it happens if you'd like to.
- Findings explained plainly. Whatever turns up, whether that's roots, grease or a crack, gets explained in plain terms on the spot.
- Report and next step. On Killara's solid brick homes, the access point itself sometimes takes a little longer to reach through the masonry, but the survey still wraps in one visit either way.
Standards and Paperwork, Explained Simply
A CCTV survey itself doesn't need excavation approval, since nothing's being dug up or altered. It's licensed-plumber work operating the equipment and reading the result, following the same AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards as any other drainage job.
Where the footage does show damage needing a repair or reline, that follow-up work falls under the usual licensing rules, and we'll explain what's required before quoting it.
For a pre-purchase or sale report, the footage and write-up are yours to keep, and to pass on to a conveyancer or the next owner if needed.
The Difference on a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
Plenty of trades will tell you what they think is wrong. We show you.
Every job comes with the footage itself. You're deciding off what the camera actually found, not off our word for it.
That matters most before a big spend, whether that's a full reline or walking away from a property altogether. A routine check gets the same care as a pre-purchase report someone's relying on.

Common questions
Your CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
A few things people ask before booking a camera survey in Killara. (02) 9023 2087 covers anything else.
What's the going rate for a CCTV drain inspection?
It comes down to pipe length and access, and whether you need paperwork for a conveyancer or it's just talked through on the spot. We confirm the cost before the camera goes in, and it's free alongside a jet blast.
Does an inspection tell us if a blockage is likely to return?
Yes, that's part of the point. The footage often shows early signs, root hairs, scale, a joint starting to shift, before any of it becomes a full blockage again.
Anything I need to do before the camera crew arrives?
Clear access to whichever gully, cleanout or manhole is nearest the area of concern. If you've got an old sewer diagram or building plans handy, they help us plan the run faster.
Can I realistically get a camera inspection booked for today?
Generally, yes. Most CCTV jobs don't need special scheduling, so a same-day slot is the norm rather than the exception.
Does turning up for a CCTV job cost anything on its own?
No call-out fee applies, and if you're already booking a jet blast, the inspection itself is included free.
If the footage shows the problem's actually in the council or utility side of the line, what then?
We'll say plainly whose side of the line it's in. Anything past your boundary belongs to the local water authority, not you.
