See Exactly What Is Wrong With The Drain Before Anyone Starts Digging
A colour camera turns a mystery blockage into something you can watch for yourself. Ring (02) 9072 0502 to book a licensed plumber who runs the line, finds the fault and pinpoints it from the surface, with no trial digging.
Why The Camera Earns Its Keep On These Drains
The faults hide underground. Roots, cracked joints and sagging clay all sit out of sight under mature gardens and paved yards, so without a camera the only clue is a drain that keeps blocking.
One fault looks like another. A root mat, a grease ring and a collapsed barrel each block a line, but they need very different fixes, and only footage tells them apart before pricing.
The old pipe rewards a look. On short earthenware runs full of joints, seeing the weak point means the repair aims straight at that spot, not a whole line opened up on a guess.

What A CCTV Inspection Covers
A camera survey is more than a look down the pipe, because what it records shapes the whole repair, so a full drain inspection gives you the following:
Full line survey
A self-levelling colour camera is fed the length of the drain so every joint, bend and branch is seen in turn, building a clear picture of the pipe's real condition from the gully right through to the connecting main.
Locating the fault
Once a problem shows on screen, a sonde in the camera head is followed from street level using a locator, so the exact position and depth are pinned on the surface for a dig that goes straight to the fault.
Recorded footage
You come away with footage of the fault itself and, once the job is done, of the finished repair, so you can see for yourself exactly what was found, what was fixed and why the work was truly needed at all.
Pre-purchase checks
Before buying an older cottage here, a camera survey of its drains reveals the root damage, cracks and sags that a building inspection never sees, so a costly surprise does not suddenly land on you shortly after you settle.
The Drains A Camera Reads Best
Period cottage runs
Shared block drains
Long yard and stormwater lines
What The Camera Turns Up
Most surveys reveal one of a familiar few faults, each with a very different fix:
Root intrusion
The most frequent find is a mat of fine roots pushing through a perished joint, and the footage shows whether cutting and sealing will hold or the length has cracked too far to be worth saving.
Cracks and sags
A colour camera reveals the fine hairline cracks and dropped bellies that clay movement leaves behind, faults that never show at the surface yet quietly hold water and grit until the drain blocks all over again.
Collapsed sections
Where a barrel has snapped and slipped out of alignment, the screen shows the full extent of the collapse, so you know at once whether a short dig or a longer replacement is what the drain actually needs.
Why Looking First Matters
Looking before digging turns guesswork and wasted trenches into a targeted, priced repair, so the camera pays for itself:
You pay for the real fix
No digging on a guess
A record you can keep
How it works
The Steps Of A Camera Survey
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Survey, locate and report
The moment you say yes, we feed the camera through the drain, record the run end to end, flag any fault at the surface with the sonde, and talk you through the footage so the next step is your call.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why Choose Your Plumber Bexley
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Bexley works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Drain Surveys Across The Neighbouring Suburbs
The camera and locator travel with us beyond the suburb, reading drains in Bexley North, Rockdale, Kingsgrove, Arncliffe and Banksia, where the same old clay runs and pre-purchase questions bring homeowners to book a survey.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain Camera Questions Bexley Locals Ask
What is a CCTV drain inspection?
It is a survey where a waterproof colour camera travels through the drain so any root mass, crack or blockage is seen live on screen and its position pinned from above.
How do you find the exact spot of a fault?
A small transmitter travelling with the camera is picked up by a locator at ground level, fixing the precise position and depth so any dig goes straight down to it.
Do I get to see the footage?
Yes, you watch the run on screen as it happens and keep a copy of the footage showing both the fault and the finished repair, so nothing about the job is taken on trust.
Is a camera survey worth it before buying an older home?
Very much so here, because the original earthenware drains under period cottages often hide root damage and cracks that a standard building inspection simply cannot detect.
Does the inspection cost extra on top of the call out?
The call out costs nothing, and when a survey forms part of clearing or fixing a drain its cost is rolled into the single agreed price, never charged on top.
Are your inspections done by licensed plumbers?
Yes, each survey is run by an insured, licensed plumber, and licence #275278C along with any repair it points to is set out in writing before work begins.
