20 Years of CCTV Drain Inspection Experience Across Belivah

If your drains are blocking repeatedly, draining slowly despite clearing, or you're noticing bad smells and damp patches without an obvious cause, a camera inspection is generally the better first step. It allows us to identify the actual cause of the problem, which can save you from paying for the same clear more than once. It's also worth considering if you're planning renovations, buying a property, or preparing for pipe relining.

Yes, tree roots are one of the most common issues our camera picks up, particularly in older properties with established gardens or street trees nearby. The footage shows exactly where the roots have entered the pipe and how much of the line is affected, which helps us decide between root cutting, relining or, in more severe cases, section replacement.

A pre-purchase drain inspection can reveal issues that aren't visible during a standard building inspection, such as cracked pipes, collapsed sections or root intrusion under the slab. Having this information before settlement gives you the chance to negotiate repairs or factor future costs into your decision, so there are fewer surprises after you've moved in.

No, that's one of the main advantages of this method. The camera and cable are designed to move through existing pipework without causing any damage, and there's no need to dig up your yard or break into walls to see what's happening inside the drain. It's a non-invasive way to get accurate information before deciding on any repair work.

You'll receive a written drain inspection report outlining what was found, along with the recorded footage from the inspection. This documentation is genuinely useful if you need to provide evidence to an insurer, builder, certifier or body corporate, and it also gives you a clear record to refer back to if similar issues arise again in future.
