CCTV Drain Inspection Perth
Stop guessing what's wrong with your drain. We run a camera through the line, show you exactly what we find on the screen, and give you the footage so you can make an informed decision on the fix.
Servicing Perth's southern suburbs
See inside your drain before you spend a dollar on fixing it
A drain camera inspection takes the guesswork out of plumbing. Instead of pulling up pavers, trenching through the yard or quoting repairs based on a hunch, we push a camera down the line and you see the problem on screen.
Ben carries out CCTV pipe inspections across Perth's southern suburbs with his own camera gear, for blocked drains, recurring problems, pre-purchase checks and insurance reports. The footage is recorded and yours to keep, so if someone else needs to see it, you've got it.
You get a clear assessment of what the camera found, an honest explanation of what it means, and straightforward advice on what needs doing next.

When you need a drain camera
- A drain that keeps blocking in the same spot even after clearing
- A blockage no one can locate or shift with standard clearing

- Strata or insurance requiring a formal inspection report
How we run a CCTV drain inspection in Perth
Give us a call
Tell us what's going on, a recurring block, a pre-purchase check, a smell you can't pin down. We'll ask the right questions and let you know what the inspection involves.
We access the drain and run the camera
We find the right access point, clean it out if needed, then feed the camera through the line while you watch what we see on the monitor.
We record and document the findings
The inspection is recorded. We note the location of any faults, blockages or damage to the metre, so any follow-up work is targeted, not exploratory.
We explain what we found and what your options are
No jargon, no pressure. We show you what the camera picked up, tell you what it means and give you honest advice on what, if anything, needs doing next.
Common problems a drain camera inspection turns up in Perth homes
Tree root intrusions
Roots chase moisture through tiny cracks in older clay and concrete pipes. By the time the drain starts backing up, the roots have often established well inside the line.
Grease and fat build-up
Cooking fats cool and coat the pipe wall over years of use. The build-up slowly narrows the drain until flow drops off or a full blockage forms.
Collapsed or cracked pipe
Ground movement, vehicle loads and ageing materials can crack or collapse a section of pipe. A camera finds the exact location, and Ben can dig up and replace the damaged section himself with his mini excavator, so repairs are precise.
Displaced or offset joints
Pipe joints shift over time, especially in sandy soils. A displaced joint creates a ledge inside the pipe that catches debris and causes repeat blockages.
Foreign objects in the line
Wet wipes, rags, children's toys and building debris turn up in residential drains more often than you'd think. A camera shows exactly what's lodged and where.
Pipe bellies and sags
A section of pipe that has sunk below the correct fall holds water and sediment rather than flushing it through. These show clearly on camera and often explain ongoing slow-drain complaints.
Recorded footage and a location to the metre
Most drain problems are invisible from the surface. You can smell something wrong, see water draining slow, or watch the same spot block over and over, but without a camera you're still guessing.
When we run a CCTV drain camera inspection, you watch the feed in real time on the monitor. We call out what we're seeing as we go, and the whole inspection is recorded so you have it on file for your own records, your conveyancer or your insurer.
We also locate the fault to the metre above ground with a pipe locator, so if a repair or excavation is needed, Ben knows exactly where to dig, and can do the excavation, repair and backfill himself with his own mini excavator. That keeps the whole job with one tradie and the cost down.
- Full inspection recorded and provided to you
- Fault located above ground to the metre with a pipe locator
- Can dig up and replace a damaged section with his own mini excavator
- Real-time viewing on the monitor as we go
- Clear advice on repair options, with no pressure to commit

Yes. The full inspection is recorded and we provide the footage to you. It's useful to have on file if you need to show a conveyancer, insurer or strata manager what was found.
That's one of the most common reasons people call us. A drain camera inspection lets us see exactly where a blockage, root or damaged section sits inside the line, rather than working from guesswork at the surface.
