A real person answers, day or night
Seeing the fault before anyone lifts a shovel
A drain camera turns a buried mystery into something you watch on a screen. Rather than opening the ground to look, we send the eye in first, find the fault, and plan the fix around what is there.
Why a camera earns its keep in this ground
Everything important is buried in sand. Faults sit under lawns, driveways and slabs on the Botany Sands, and digging to find them means moving wet, unstable ground, so seeing first and cutting once saves the yard and the cost.
Old lines hide their age. The older double-brick homes off the Monash Gardens streets run decades-old earthenware, and only a camera shows whether a slow drain is a soft blockage or a cracked socket letting sand and roots in.
Water tables cloud the picture. With groundwater sitting high, a line can weep and silt without ever fully blocking, and footage is often the only way to tell infiltration from a simple build-up.

The CCTV inspection work we provide
Every survey is about replacing guesswork with a clear picture, whether you need a fault found, a location marked for a dig, or a full record of what your buried drainage is really doing:
Camera drain surveys
When something is wrong underground but nothing shows above it, we push a high-resolution camera the full length of the line, record the footage, and show you exactly what the pipe is doing beneath the Cook Avenue clay and sand.
Locating faults
Once the camera finds the crack, root or dropped section, we trace the head from the surface with a sonde, note the exact spot on your driveway or lawn, and hand you the position so any dig lands on the fault.
Pre-purchase inspections
Before you buy an older double-brick home around here, we camera its drains and sewer so you know whether the buried lines are sound or hiding roots and cracks, turning an unknown into a clear picture before you ever commit.
Strata drain audits
For the townhouse and apartment complexes built where Holden once stood, we survey the shared drainage on camera, map which length serves which lot, and give the body corporate a clear written record of condition to plan future repairs against.

What a camera survey commonly turns up
The faults our inspections find most often, and what each one means:
Hidden root intrusion
Fine roots that have slipped through a joint show on camera as a fibrous mass long before they fully block, and catching them at that stage means a targeted cut and seal rather than an emergency dig later.
Sand-fed silting
Footage often reveals fine sand banked along the invert where a cracked joint is feeding it in, which tells us the line needs sealing at that point rather than just another clear that will silt up again.
Bellied and sagging lines
A camera shows where a run has dropped into a low belly that holds water and catches waste, and knowing the sag's position and length lets us lift and re-grade only that section instead of the whole line.
Why an inspection is money well spent
Knowing exactly what is wrong, and where, changes every decision that follows it, and usually in your favour:
- It stops you digging blind Opening the ground on a guess can miss the fault and disturb the yard for nothing. A located survey means one accurate excavation, not several hopeful ones.
- It sizes the real repair Footage tells apart a quick clear, a spot repair and a full reline, so you spend on the fix the pipe needs rather than over-servicing or under-fixing it.
- It gives you a record A recorded report backs an insurance claim, a sale or a strata plan, so a later dispute rests on vision, not somebody's word.
How it works
How a CCTV drain inspection works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Surveyed and explained
Your plumber runs the camera through the whole line, records what it sees, and walks you through the footage on the spot, so you understand the fault and the options before any decision about repair or pipe relining is made.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Pagewood for drain inspections
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Pagewood works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Drain inspections across the neighbouring suburbs
We run camera surveys through Botany, Eastgardens, Eastlakes, Hillsdale and Maroubra as well, reading each line against the age of the pipe and the ground around it, never treating two buried drains as the same problem.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV inspection questions Pagewood locals ask
When is a camera inspection actually worth it?
Any time a drain keeps blocking, a smell will not clear, or you are about to dig or reline, the camera turns guesswork into a clear view of the real fault.
Can the camera find where sand is getting into my line?
Yes, the footage shows the open joint or crack where fine sand and groundwater are entering, so the exact failure point is sealed rather than the whole run replaced blindly.
Do I get to see the footage?
You do, we talk you through the recording on site and can send it to you, so any recommendation is something you have watched rather than simply taken on trust.
Can you tell me exactly where the problem is under my yard?
We trace the camera head from the surface and note the precise spot and depth, so if a repair is needed the dig lands straight on it rather than searching around.
Is a camera survey useful before buying a home here?
Very, the older buried lines under this suburb often hide roots and cracks, and a pre-purchase survey tells you their real condition before you are committed to the property.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
Your plumber quotes the survey as one written amount before starting, with a $0 call out fee, and you keep the findings whether or not further work follows.
