See the Problem Before Paying for the Repair
Recurring blocked drains, sewer odours, slow drainage and overflowing inspection openings are often symptoms of a hidden problem beneath your property. A CCTV drain camera inspection allows our plumbers to inspect the inside of your drains without unnecessary digging, helping identify the real cause before recommending repairs.
What Is a CCTV Drain Camera Inspection?
A specialised waterproof high-definition camera is fed through your drain or sewer line from an existing access point. Live footage allows us to inspect the condition of the pipe, locate blockages, identify structural defects and explain exactly what we find in plain English.
Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Without seeing inside the pipe, repairs can become guesswork. A camera inspection helps avoid unnecessary excavation, repeated call-outs and replacing the wrong section of pipe by confirming the actual cause of the problem.
Common Problems We Find
Tree roots, cracked pipes, collapsed drains, offset joints, pipe bellies, grease build-up, scale, foreign objects, construction debris, corrosion and damaged stormwater lines are among the most common issues we identify.
Signs You May Need a Camera Inspection
If your drains keep blocking, toilets gurgle, multiple fixtures back up together, you notice sewer smells, your inspection opening overflows or your yard develops unexplained wet patches, a CCTV inspection can help determine the cause.

How We Diagnose the Problem
We inspect the drainage layout, insert the camera through an existing access point and review the live footage. Electronic locating equipment can identify the exact position and depth of defects, helping minimise unnecessary excavation.
Queensland Conditions
Heavy rainfall, reactive clay soils, mature gum and fig trees, ageing earthenware sewer lines and coastal conditions all contribute to underground pipe failures across South East Queensland. These local factors make accurate diagnosis especially important.
What an Experienced Plumber Wants You to Know
If a drain keeps blocking, repeatedly clearing it without investigating the cause often wastes money. A CCTV inspection frequently reveals tree roots, pipe movement or structural damage that needs a permanent solution rather than another temporary unblock.
Why Choose Call The Plumber Now
We combine experienced plumbers with professional diagnostic equipment to provide honest advice, clear explanations and practical long-term repair recommendations.
