What Our CCTV Drain Inspection Work Covers
A camera lets us see what's actually going on inside a pipe, without opening up the ground.
- Locating the precise point and cause of a stubborn or repeat blockage
- Checking older pipework for cracks, root entry or a section that's collapsed
- A pre-purchase drain check before you buy or sell a Mascot property
- Confirming a previous clear or repair has actually held
- Mapping where a line runs when there's no plan for the property
Where the footage shows the fix, we'll walk you through the next step, whether that's drain cleaning or blocked drain repair.
Signs You Need CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera check earns its cost when the cause isn't obvious from the surface.
- A blockage that keeps returning despite being cleared more than once
- Slow draining with no clear reason anyone can point to
- Buying or selling a property and wanting the drains checked first
- A gully or inspection point that behaves oddly for no visible reason
- Wanting proof a previous repair or clear genuinely worked
- Ground that's shifted or sunk slightly near where a pipe runs
What We See in Mascot Drains
Mascot's drainage runs through two very different kinds of pipework, depending on when the property was built.
Brick cottages and semis from before the war typically still have the drainage they were built with, laid decades before today's pipe materials existed.
Off King Street, camera runs on these older properties regularly turn up joints that have shifted or roots that have found a way in, none of it visible from ground level.
Apartment towers built since the 2000s carry contemporary pipe, so a camera check there usually confirms a shared-line question rather than turning up structural damage.
Knowing which situation applies before we arrive means less time spent working it out on site.
What Affects the Cost of CCTV Drain Inspection
A handful of things decide the final figure on an inspection.
- The length of pipe that needs running through with the camera
- How easily the access points can be reached
- One line checked on its own, or a wider run across the whole property
- Whether footage needs recording for a strata report or sale
Older properties near King Street sometimes need a second access point checked once the first camera pass shows a joint further along the line.
That extra step is decided on site, never assumed upfront just because a property's older.
Best price guaranteed, and $0 call-out fee whether or not you go ahead with any follow-up work.
Our CCTV Drain Inspection Process, Start to Finish
Get into the pipe. Whatever access point works best gets used, existing or otherwise.
Run the camera. Every metre gets recorded as it goes, not just the trouble spot.
Read the footage. We explain exactly what the camera found, in plain terms.
Hand over the findings. You get a clear picture of the cause and what fixing it involves.
Most single-line jobs are wrapped up inside an hour, footage handed over on the spot.
Licensed Drain Work and Who Is Responsible
Running a camera down a drain doesn't require a licence on its own, but acting on what it finds usually does.
Anything beyond a visual check, once it touches the sewer or stormwater system, is licensed plumbing work under NSW rules.
Lic #292427C covers our team for both water and gas, so whatever the footage shows, acting on it straight away is entirely within scope if you'd like.
There's no pressure to book further work off the back of an inspection. The footage is yours either way.
Plenty of homeowners book one purely for peace of mind, and that's a perfectly good reason to have a look on its own.
Why This Is a Job for Our Team
Reading a camera feed properly takes experience, not just the equipment to record it.
Footage on every job gets reviewed by whoever on the team deals with drainage day in, day out, so what you're told about the cause is a genuine read, not a guess dressed up as one.
Open 24 hours means a sudden repeat blockage can get a camera on it the same day, not next week.
That matters most when a blockage keeps coming back and waiting only makes the eventual fix bigger.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
CCTV drain inspection is available right through Mascot, with runs extending to Eastlakes, Wolli Creek and Pagewood.
Once the footage confirms the cause, the fix itself sits with blocked drain repair if the pipe's damaged, or drain cleaning if it's simply build-up.
Running cameras through Mascot properties as often as we do gives a decent sense of what each era of housing tends to turn up.
That familiarity doesn't replace the footage. It just means fewer surprises once we're actually looking at it.

Common CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
A few questions that come up before booking a camera check.
How long does cctv drain inspection take?
Most single-line inspections wrap up within the hour. A longer or harder-to-reach run can take a little more time, and we'll let you know on site.
Do you handle cctv drain inspection for strata and apartments in Mascot?
We do. Shared lines through Mascot's apartment blocks often need a camera check before any repair work gets approved by the committee.
Why does my drain keep blocking up after it gets cleared?
If clearing alone never holds, something structural is usually the reason. A camera run finds that cause instead of clearing the same spot again and again.
Do you charge a call-out fee for cctv drain inspection?
No, having us out to run the camera costs nothing at all. New customers also save $65 off their first service.
Do you put a camera down the drain before you clear it?
For most jobs, yes, that's how we work out what's actually wrong before quoting. A stand-alone inspection is also available if that's all you need.
Is my home too old for a permanent drain fix?
No, age doesn't rule anything out here. Once the footage confirms what's wrong, a century-old clay line takes a permanent fix just as well as newer pipe.
