Stop guessing what is wrong with your drains
A drain that keeps blocking, a sewer smell you can't track down, or a wet patch in the yard that never dries out. Most drain problems sit underground or inside walls, so you can't see what is causing them.
A CCTV drain inspection solves that. We feed a small camera through the pipe and watch the footage on a screen as it travels down the line. It shows the exact problem and where it is, so we only dig or repair where we need to.
We use drain cameras to find:
- Tree roots growing into pipe joints
- Cracked, broken or collapsed pipes
- Blockages that keep coming back
- Sagging sections where waste builds up
- Leaking joints and hidden pipe damage
When a camera inspection makes sense
Not every blocked sink needs a camera. We recommend an inspection when the same drain blocks again within a few months, when more than one fixture is backing up, or when you can smell sewage around the house.
It is also worth doing before you buy an older home, or before a renovation or extension near existing pipes. Finding a cracked clay line or a root problem early is far cheaper than finding it after you move in.
If the camera finds a blockage, we can usually clear it on the same visit with high pressure drain jetting. If there is pipe damage, we show you the footage and talk through the repair options.
