What Can the Camera Find?
One run down the line answers three questions:
The cause
The location and depth
Sewer, stormwater and jetting work are all grouped under blocked drains.
When Is a Camera Inspection Worth It?
- A line that has blocked more than once in a year
- A pair of semis backing up at the same moment
- Before you buy a pre-1940 cottage and inherit its sewer
- Before an extension or new slab goes over an old line
- After a clear, to confirm the pipe itself is sound

How Is Camera Work Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- Getting the camera in An open inspection point in the yard is quick; a line reached through a tight subfloor takes longer.
- Length of run A short branch from a laundry is less work than filming a whole sewer out to the street.
- Paired with other work Filming done during a jetting visit costs less than a stand-alone inspection.
Why Footage Matters on This Grid

What Customers Say
Our blocked toilet morphed into a huge plumbing earthworks project due to extreme pipe damage from tree roots.
Where the Repair Changes Hands
When we're not the right call: a fault the camera finds past your boundary, in the Hunter Water main, is theirs to repair. If the recording shows a building footing bearing down on the pipe, a builder needs to look at that footing first.
Questions About Drain Cameras
Is the line filmed before and after a clear?
Yes. The first run locates the fault, and the second, once the pipe is open, proves the blockage has gone rather than moved further down. You watch both on the monitor.
Can a camera spot roots in Islington clay sewers?
It can. Fine roots show as a curtain hanging from a joint, and a mature mass fills the pipe. Light growth is jetted out, while a heavy mat through cracked collars points to root cutting and possibly relining.
Do I keep a copy of the footage?
Yes. It is played through with you on site and handed over afterwards, so you can show a builder, a neighbour sharing the line or a future buyer exactly what the pipe looks like.
Does every stopped-up line here need a camera?
No. A gully choked with leaves can be cleared and checked by eye. The camera earns its place when a line blocks twice, when two homes are affected, or when a dig or reline is being considered.
