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 build-up or a damaged section. A camera inspection helps confirm what is causing it.

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.

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 repairsGrease, Sludge and Debris Build-Up
Build-up 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.

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 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 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.
What a CCTV Drain Inspection Can Show
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 build-up, 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.
