What a CCTV Drain Inspection Can Show

A camera inside accessible pipework, not a guess from above ground

A CCTV drain inspection involves placing a specialised camera into accessible drainage pipework to inspect the internal condition of the drain. It can show tree root intrusion, grease and debris buildup, foreign objects, cracked or misaligned joints, and sections of pipe that have collapsed or lost their fall.

A CCTV inspection cannot identify every drainage issue. Findings depend on the accessibility of the drainage system, visibility within the pipe and site conditions at the time of inspection.

Where damage is found, Hydrauflo can discuss repair, relining or replacement options based on what the inspection shows. See sewer and stormwater repairs and collapsed drain pipe repairs.

When a CCTV Drain Inspection Helps

If any of these sound familiar, an inspection can help confirm what is actually happening inside the pipe.

The Same Drain Keeps Blocking

A blockage that returns after being cleared usually points to something inside the pipe that has not been dealt with, such as root intrusion, a buildup or a damaged section. A camera inspection helps confirm what is causing it.

Blocked drain services ›

Tree Roots in the Pipe

Tree roots can enter sewer pipes through small cracks or joints and restrict flow over time. A CCTV inspection can show where roots have entered and how far along the line the problem extends.

Tree root blockage removal ›

Suspected Damaged or Collapsed Pipework

Cracked, misaligned or collapsed sections can cause repeated drainage problems. Inspecting the pipe first means any repair discussion is based on what the camera actually shows.

Collapsed drain pipe repairs ›

Grease, Sludge and Debris Buildup

Buildup along the inside of a pipe narrows it and slows drainage well before it blocks completely. An inspection shows how much has accumulated and where.

High pressure drain jetting ›

Foreign Objects in the Drain

Wipes, sanitary products, toys and other items that should not enter the system can lodge in the pipe and trap everything behind them. A camera can help locate the obstruction.

Stormwater Not Draining Properly

Water pooling around the property during heavy rain can point to a restricted or damaged stormwater line. Accessible stormwater pipework can also be inspected.

Sewer Water Backing Up

Sewer water backing up into fixtures is a sign of a significant drainage problem. Inspecting the line helps identify where the restriction sits before any work is quoted.

Slow Drains and Gurgling Pipework

Slow draining fixtures and gurgling sounds are often early signs of a partial blockage. Looking inside the pipe early can show the cause before it becomes a full blockage.

Persistent Drain Smells

Ongoing odours can be caused by trapped debris, a partial blockage or a fault further along the line. An inspection helps narrow down where the smell is coming from.

Buying or Renovating a Property

Checking the condition of existing drainage before you commit to a purchase or start building work can show problems that are not visible from above ground.

Footage and Written Reports

Where requested, Hydrauflo can supply CCTV inspection footage following the inspection. A written CCTV inspection report can also be provided where required.

Pipe Locating

Where required, pipe locating is available for an additional fee to help identify the position and depth of the drain line before excavation or repair work.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not answered here, call 0485 000 550 and describe what is happening.

What is a CCTV drain inspection?
A CCTV drain inspection involves placing a specialised camera into accessible drainage pipework to inspect the internal condition of the drain.
What can a CCTV inspection identify?
An inspection can show conditions that are visible inside the pipe, such as tree root intrusion, grease and debris buildup, foreign objects, cracked or misaligned joints and collapsed sections. A CCTV inspection cannot identify every drainage issue. Findings depend on the accessibility of the drainage system, visibility within the pipe and site conditions at the time of inspection.
Which drains can be inspected?
Hydrauflo inspects accessible sewer and stormwater drains. A suitable access point is required to get the camera into the line.
Can I get a copy of the footage?
Where requested, Hydrauflo can supply CCTV inspection footage following the inspection. A written CCTV inspection report can also be provided where required.
Can you locate where the pipe runs?
Where required, pipe locating is available for an additional fee. This helps identify the position and depth of the drain line before excavation or repair work.
What happens if damage is found?
If the inspection identifies damaged or collapsed pipework, Hydrauflo will explain what the camera shows and discuss the available repair, relining or replacement options before any further work proceeds.
Do I need an inspection or just a drain clean?
It depends on the situation. A one off blockage may simply need clearing, while a blockage that keeps returning usually justifies looking inside the pipe to confirm the cause. Describe what has been happening and Hydrauflo will discuss the appropriate next step.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the site, the access available and the length of drain to be inspected. Hydrauflo provides clear pricing before work begins.
