Plumber running a drain camera at an outdoor pit

When Is a Camera the Right Move?

A one-off choke right at a fixture can clear with the coil and stay clear. Film the line when the trouble returns, when more than one fixture is affected, or when you need a record of the pipe before buying or renovating.

Signs the pipe itself is at fault:

  • A line cleared a month or so ago is slow again
  • The toilet, shower and basin all gurgle together
  • A soft, wet patch sits in the lawn during a dry week
  • A sewer smell rises near the gully after rain

Guessing at those costs more than filming them. The footage shows whether the answer is a drain jetting clean or a section repair, and it stays with you either way.

How a Camera Run Works

  1. 1

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 3469 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 2

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 3

    Film, find, report

    The camera enters at the closest inspection opening, recording all the way. You watch alongside, and the depth counter logs each defect so a dig or a reline lands in the right place.

  4. 4

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

Roots, open joints and sagging runs each have their own repair, set out on the pipe relining and tree root removal pages. Sewage rising through floor wastes is a job for the blocked sewer page.

What Feeds Into the Quote?

The camera fee turns on how much pipe there is to film and how easily the camera gets in:

  • How many metres of pipe need filming, and where the openings are
  • Whether sand or grease has to be cleared before the camera can travel
  • A second line, such as filming the stormwater as well as the sewer
  • Filming booked for an evening or weekend, charged at a higher rate agreed at booking

What the Camera Finds Here

One generation of pipe

Jewells filled with brick-veneer homes from the 1970s through the 1990s, so the clay and earthenware under most yards belongs to one building wave. On film that shows up as roots threaded through old collars, sand banked in the invert, and runs that have dipped over the decades.

Sand and water in the picture

The suburb is low and sandy beside the wetland, and its water table stays high. Standing water inside a line that ought to drain is plain to see on screen, and it tells you whether a clean will do or the fall has to be corrected.

What Customers Say

Our blocked toilet morphed into a huge plumbing earthworks project due to extreme pipe damage from tree roots.

Where the Camera Hands Over

When we're not the right call. A camera films pipes; it does not stop a flood. Rain surging through the yard is a stormwater drains problem, while a leak inside a wall gets traced with the leak detectors on the water leak detection page. If the break shows up in the Hunter Water sewer main, the utility repairs it, and your footage helps when you report it to them.

Your Camera Run Questions, Answered

How long does a camera run take on site?

It is a short visit once the camera is set up. It records everything it passes, and the plumber talks you through the picture on the spot. If a choke has to be cleared first, the jetter or the coil goes in before the camera so the image comes back clear.

Do I get a copy of the footage from my drain?

Yes. You get the recording and a written summary of what the line showed, including the depth and position of each fault. That record is useful for a strata report, a sale, or the quote for the repair that follows.

Can the camera get through sand-choked pipes on this sandy ground?

Fine sand narrows a pipe rather than sealing it, so the camera can still get by. Where sand has packed a bend solid, the line is jetted first and filmed after, which also proves the clear reached the full length.

Is a camera run included when a drain gets cleared here?

A camera check comes before and after a drain is cleared, so you see what caused the choke and the flow at the end. It is priced as part of the booking, and you agree to the figure before the camera goes in.
