CCTV Drain Inspection in Perth
Before we quote a repair, we look. A camera run through your drain shows exactly where the damage is, what kind it is and how bad it has got, so any decision after that is based on what's really in the pipe, not a guess from the surface.
- Inspection before any repair is quoted
- A written scope, not a sales pitch
Inspect before we quote
Every job starts with a camera run through the pipe. We do not price a repair before we have seen the damage.
High-definition camera
The camera identifies the exact location and type of damage, not just that something is wrong.
Mandurah and the wider metro
We run CCTV drain inspections across the Perth metro area, Mandurah included.
Why we inspect before we quote
A blocked or slow drain can have half a dozen different causes, and most of them look identical from where you're standing. Roots, a collapsed section, grease build-up and a misaligned joint can all produce the same symptom on the surface: water backing up or draining slowly. Quoting a fix without knowing which of those it actually is means either overselling a repair the pipe doesn't need, or underselling one it does. So we run the camera first, every time, and quote against what it finds.
The equipment. The camera head sits on a flexible push-rod that's fed in through an existing access point, an inspection opening, a gully or a cleared section of the drain, and guided along the pipe by hand. It can turn bends that a straight rigid tool never could, which is why it works on both a modern PVC run and an older clay line with tighter joints. What it identifies is specific: a crack, a root mass, a misaligned joint, a collapsed section or a build-up of grease and scale, each of which looks different on screen and points to a different fix. We don't have embedded footage to show you on this page yet; what you get on the day is the live feed from your own pipe, reviewed with you as it runs.
What happens during an inspection
Book the inspection
Tell us what you are seeing, a blockage, a smell, a damp patch, and we arrange a time to run the camera.
Camera run
A drain camera on a push-rod travels the length of the pipe, sending back a live picture of what is actually inside it.
Written scope
You get an honest account of what the camera found and what it means, before any repair is agreed. There is no fee figure quoted here, because what an inspection or a repair costs depends on the job, and if the pipe does need relining, the same scope carries straight into the quote for that work.
When an inspection alone is the answer. Not every camera run ends in a repair. Sometimes the pipe is in reasonable condition and the blockage was a one-off, in which case the inspection itself is the useful outcome: you now know the pipe doesn't need work, rather than wondering. Other times it flags something to keep an eye on rather than fix immediately. Either way, you walk away with an honest read on what's actually happening underground. If the inspection does turn up damage, see drain relining or sewer pipe relining for what comes next, or start from blocked drains in Perth if a blockage is what brought you here.
