Blocked drains, slow-running pipes, and unexplained damp patches usually have a cause you can’t see from the surface. CCTV pipe inspection lets us find out exactly what’s happening underground — without digging a single hole to look.
Using high-resolution push cameras, our technicians send a live video feed through your pipes and drains, giving us a clear, real-time view of cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and structural damage. You get an accurate diagnosis first, so any repair, excavation, or maintenance work that follows is based on what’s actually there — not guesswork.
High-resolution camera technology — clear footage that shows the true condition of your pipes, not just a vague outline
Experienced technicians — trained to read what the footage actually means, not just capture it
Detailed reporting — you receive footage and a clear written report, not just a verbal summary
No unnecessary digging — CCTV inspection identifies the exact problem and location before any excavation is considered
Sydney-wide service — residential, commercial, and council projects across the greater Sydney area
CCTV inspection is useful in more situations than most people expect:
Before clearing a blockage, it helps to know what's actually causing it — tree roots, a collapsed section, grease build-up, or foreign objects all need different solutions.
Older homes and commercial properties can have ageing stormwater or sewer lines that aren't visible during a standard building inspection. A CCTV check gives buyers a clear picture before settlement.
If you're planning to dig, extend, or landscape, knowing exactly where pipes run and what condition they're in helps avoid accidental damage — and costly surprises mid-project.
Clear video evidence of pipe condition and damage can support insurance claims or help resolve disputes over who's responsible for existing damage.
Ageing clay or older PVC pipework can crack, shift, or degrade over time. Periodic inspection can catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
we identify access points and confirm the scope of the inspection with you.
a waterproof push camera is fed through the pipe or drain, capturing continuous live footage.
our technician reviews the footage as it's captured, identifying blockages, cracks, joint separation, or root intrusion.
you receive the footage along with a clear written report outlining what was found and what we recommend next.
if further work is needed (repair, jetting, excavation), we can advise on the most appropriate next service.
Most residential inspections take between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the length and accessibility of the pipe network. Larger commercial systems may take longer.
Yes root intrusion is one of the most common issues we identify, and the footage clearly shows where roots have entered the pipe and the extent of the damage.
Yes, every inspection includes both the video footage and a written summary you can keep for your records, share with an insurer, or provide to a builder or plumber.
It's strongly recommended. Knowing the exact location and condition of existing pipework before digging reduces the risk of accidental damage and unplanned costs. We also offer non-destructive excavation and utility locating services if excavation is required afterward.
Our equipment is suited to most common pipe materials, including PVC, clay, concrete, and cast iron, across a range of diameters.
Both. We work with homeowners, builders, property managers, and councils across Sydney.

I needed to complete a scan for any potential underground utilities along the side fence and Brad was able to take the job straight away.

Great company Brad was very professional and very knowledgeable
Guesswork underground leads to unnecessary cost. A CCTV pipe inspection gives you clear, accurate information before you make any decision — whether that’s a repair, an excavation, or a property purchase.
