CCTV Pipe Inspections

Drain Camera Inspections by Your Local Plumbers

At Flow Plumbing Solutions, we understand the importance of precise and efficient diagnosis of plumbing issues. That’s why we’ve invested in state-of-the-art CCTV drain inspection technology. This advanced equipment allows us to conduct thorough inspections of your property’s drainage system, identifying any leaks, blockages, tree roots or damage with pinpoint accuracy. Our goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of the condition of your drains and offer the most effective solutions.

We’re based in Mayfield West and inspect sewer and stormwater drains for homes and businesses across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter region.

What the Camera Finds Inside Your Pipes

Our CCTV cameras can navigate through your pipes, providing real-time footage of the inside of your drainage system. This allows us to identify any issues, including blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, sagging pipes and other structural problems, without the need for invasive digging.

The camera goes in through an access point and sends real-time footage to a screen above ground.

Locating Blockages, Breaks and Leaks

With the addition of our locating equipment, we can precisely pinpoint where the issues are within your drains. This accuracy ensures targeted repairs, saving you time and reducing costs, and we only dig where we have to, or not at all if pipe relining is the right fix.

When Your Drains Need a Camera Check

We recommend a CCTV inspection if you’re experiencing recurring blockages, suspect a broken or leaking pipe, or wish to assess the condition of an older plumbing system. The common signs are slow drains in more than one fixture, a toilet that gurgles, bad smells from a floor waste or gully, and wet patches in the yard over the sewer line.

CCTV is also the best way to find the cause of a blocked drain that keeps coming back.

Pre-Purchase Drain Inspections

If you’re buying a house, a pre-purchase drain inspection checks the sewer and stormwater pipes before you commit, so no hidden plumbing issues cause problems down the line. A standard building inspection doesn’t look inside the drains, and older Newcastle homes often have clay sewer pipes that crack at the joints and let tree roots in.

See the Footage for Yourself

We believe in transparency and informed decision-making. Whenever possible, we encourage property owners to be present during the inspection. This allows our technicians to show you the issues firsthand, explaining the situation and the recommended fixes in detail.

Video Footage for Your Records

Understanding that visual evidence can be incredibly valuable, we offer to record the inspection. This video footage is useful for your records or a house purchase, and helps in planning future maintenance or repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?

The cost of an inspection varies depending on the scope and complexity of the inspection. We provide upfront, transparent pricing before the inspection begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

What is a CCTV drain inspection?

A CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) drain inspection involves using a special waterproof camera to visually inspect the interior of plumbing lines and drainage systems. This non-invasive method allows our plumbers to identify blockages, damage, or wear within pipes without the need for digging or destructive methods.

How long does the inspection take?

The duration of a CCTV inspection can vary depending on the length and complexity of the drainage system. Most residential inspections are completed within an hour, but larger or more complex systems may take longer to fully assess.

Can a CCTV inspection find every problem in a pipe?

CCTV inspections are highly effective at identifying a wide range of issues, including blockages, pipe collapses, cracks, root intrusion, and corrosion. However, it’s important to note that they may not detect issues hidden by water or beyond the reach of the camera.

Do you do CCTV sewer inspections?

Yes. We inspect sewer lines and stormwater drains for both homes and commercial properties.

Can you inspect a drain in an emergency?

Yes. We run a 24/7 emergency plumbing service, and our advanced diagnostic tools help us quickly identify problems such as collapsed pipes or stubborn blockages.

What happens if a problem is found during the inspection?

If a problem is identified during the inspection, our plumbers will discuss the findings with you and recommend the most effective repair or maintenance solution, whether that’s clearing the line, pipe relining or replacing the damaged section. We provide transparent pricing for any suggested work, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Is there any preparation I need to do before the inspection?

In most cases, no special preparation is needed on your part. Our team will handle all aspects of the inspection process. However, we may advise you to avoid using certain plumbing fixtures shortly before the inspection to ensure clear visibility.

Do you inspect drains at commercial properties?

Yes, we inspect drains for both residential and commercial properties in Newcastle. Our equipment and expertise allow us to handle plumbing systems of any size and complexity.
