Cameras on the truck today
Recurring blockage, mystery smell, or buying a home? Our licensed Sydney plumbers push a camera through your drains, locate the exact fault and its depth, and hand you a written report with the recorded footage; not a guess.
I need services for:
Anyone can clear a blockage; the question is what caused it. We run a camera into the line first, so you are paying to fix the actual fault, not to guess at it twice. Every van carries push-rod and crawler cameras plus a sonde locator.
From a recurring kitchen backup in Marrickville to a tree-root-choked sewer in Hunters Hill, our licensed Sydney plumbers survey drains before anyone lifts a shovel. We jet-clean the line, record the run in HD, mark the fault position and depth on the surface, and email you the footage with a plain-English report; so whether you are buying a house, planning relining, or chasing a smell, you have evidence, not opinion.
Current availability
Latest dispatch estimate
Drain surveys are our specialty; but if you landed here for a blocked drain, a smell, or a pre-purchase check, pick your job and we’ll tailor the inspection and the report to you.
Genuine value on CCTV drain surveys; no fake countdowns, no “call for a price” games. Every inspection ends with footage and a written report you actually own.
When to book a camera
A camera inspection pays for itself the moment it stops you paying to clear the same drain twice. Work through these; if any sound like your situation, a survey will show you exactly what is going on underground.
Track our drain camera crews across Sydney in real time. Enter your suburb and we’ll show the estimated travel time from the closest available plumber carrying a CCTV camera, sonde locator and jetter.
Excavating on a hunch is how a small pipe repair turns into a torn-up yard and a bill to match. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney plumber cameras the line first instead of guessing.
Before
After
No marketing fluff. Every camera customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, plumber assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door, and the footage link once we’re done. You always know what’s next.
Your 2-hour window, plumber name, vehicle and the exact inspection being run; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.
Once your plumber leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether the camera van is still coming.
We text when the plumber is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.
Before we leave you get the recorded run and a plain-English condition report emailed; not a promise to send it “later in the week”.
Every drain inspection we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.
Side-by-side with what most people actually get when they pay for a drain inspection; no spin, no fine print. Just what we include as standard, and what quietly gets skipped elsewhere to make a cheap price look good.
Same clear process whether it is a recurring blockage, a pre-purchase check, or a survey before relining. Here is exactly what to expect from the first call to the report landing in your inbox.
Which fixture backs up, how often, any smells or damp patches, and whether it is sewer, stormwater or a single fixture waste. We use this to load the right camera head and locator before we leave the depot.
Booking Recorded
Visit details confirmed
We find the inspection opening or lift a boundary shaft, hydro-jet the line so the pipe walls are actually visible, then feed the camera through while you watch the live monitor with us.
On-site Assessment
Fault checked in context
When we find roots, a crack, a belly or a collapse, we use the on-camera sonde and a surface locator to mark the exact position and depth; so any repair is targeted, not exploratory.
Scope and Price
Confirmed before repair
You get the recorded run and a plain-English condition report emailed the same day, with a fixed-price repair option if anything needs fixing. No obligation to proceed with the repair.
Completion Check
Result and records reviewed
Sewage overflowing inside, every drain in the house backing up, or water surcharging from a gully. We identify what is genuinely urgent and dispatch the closest plumber with a camera and jetter on board.
Urgent Call Logged
Risk details recorded
We talk you through stopping water use in the house, keeping people away from contaminated water, and where to expect the overflow; so damage is contained before we arrive.
Immediate Safety
Next safe step explained
We jet or machine the blockage to restore flow, then run the camera immediately to show whether roots, a crack or a collapse caused it; because a clear that ignores the cause just books you a repeat.
Visit Arranged
Available window confirmed
Flow restored and re-tested, the cause recorded on footage, and a written report with a repair option if the line needs permanent work. You know why it happened, not just that it stopped.
Work Recorded
Outcome explained
Strata, retail, hospitality or facilities? We coordinate with building management, after-hours access, and confined-space or traffic-control needs for boundary and main-line shafts ahead of the survey.
Access Details
Entry and parking recorded
Plumbing licence, $10M public liability, SWMS and JSA documents prepared and supplied before we step on site; no chasing.
Responsibility Check
Shared services considered
We camera and locate the drainage network, note pipe material, diameter, grade issues and defects, and mark line runs and depths; useful for maintenance planning, dilapidation records and reline scoping.
Fault Located
Evidence guides the repair
You receive the recorded runs, a defect-graded condition report, and where needed a scoped repair or relining quote presented against no-dig and excavation options.
Next Step Agreed
Access, scope and price clear
Every camera inspection ends with recorded footage you keep and a written condition report in plain English. If we carry out a repair from what we find, it is covered by our lifetime workmanship warranty; and re-surveyed on camera so you can see the line is clear.
Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.
