Not Sure What's Causing Your Drain Trouble?

Signs Your Drains Need a Closer Look

A blocked or damaged drain rarely announces itself clearly. Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets, musty odours near the yard and damp patches on the lawn can all point to problems hiding well below the surface. Left unchecked, tree root intrusion, cracked pipework or a collapsed section of pipe can turn a minor nuisance into a costly repair, particularly if wastewater starts pooling under the slab or seeping into garden beds.

Older clay and earthenware pipes common throughout established Queensland suburbs are particularly prone to root intrusion, offset joints and structural cracking as they age. Newer PVC systems aren't immune either, with poor installation, ground movement or foreign objects also causing recurring blockages. Without a proper drain camera inspection, it's nearly impossible to know whether you're dealing with a simple clog or a structural pipe issue that needs relining or replacement.

    Our Solution

    How Brisbane Plumbing & Drains Diagnoses Drain Problems in Brisbane

    Brisbane Plumbing & Drains uses advanced CCTV drain camera technology to look inside your pipes and give you a clear, accurate picture of what's really going on. Rather than digging blind or guessing at the cause of a blockage, our licensed plumbers feed a push rod camera through the affected line, recording high-definition footage as it travels through your drainage system.

    • Locating and mapping drain paths and depths using sonde technology before any excavation, relining or slab work begins
    • Identifying blockages, root intrusion, cracked pipes, offset joints and collapsed sections with pinpoint chainage
    • Providing timestamped video footage and a plain-language written report suitable for insurers, builders and certifiers
    • Re-inspecting after high-pressure water jetting or root cutting to confirm the line is genuinely clear
    • Assessing pipe condition to determine whether patch repair, trenchless pipe restoration or full replacement is the right solution

    Once your inspection is complete, we'll walk you through the footage and explain what we've found in plain terms, with no confusing jargon. From there, Brisbane Plumbing & Drains can recommend the most practical, cost-effective solution, whether that's a simple clean, pipe relining or a targeted excavation repair for homes and businesses across Brisbane.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      We know a CCTV drain inspection can seem unfamiliar if you've never needed one before. Below, we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and business owners.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a small, waterproof camera through your drainage pipes to capture live footage of the interior. This allows a plumber to see blockages, cracks, root intrusion or other defects directly, rather than relying on guesswork. The footage can also be recorded and reviewed afterwards, giving you a clear record of your pipe's condition.
      Common signs include slow-draining sinks or toilets, gurgling noises, unpleasant odours coming from drains, or blockages that keep returning no matter how often they're cleared. If you're buying a property, planning a renovation or need documentation for an insurance claim, a CCTV inspection is also a sensible way to understand the true condition of the drainage system before committing to any work.
      Yes. Root intrusion is one of the most common issues found during a drain camera inspection, particularly in properties with established gardens. The camera footage shows exactly where roots have entered the pipe and how much of the pipe diameter is affected, which helps determine whether root cutting, jetting or a more permanent repair like relining is the better long-term solution.
      Absolutely. A pre-purchase drain inspection can reveal issues that aren't visible from the surface, such as cracked pipes, collapsed sections or root intrusion that could lead to expensive repairs down the track. Having this information before settlement gives buyers the chance to negotiate or budget accordingly, rather than discovering a costly drainage problem after moving in.
      No. One of the biggest advantages of a CCTV drain inspection is that it's completely non-invasive. The camera is guided through existing access points, such as gullies, inspection openings or the toilet pan, so there's no need to dig up your yard or break into concrete to see what's happening inside the pipe.
      Once the inspection is complete, we'll talk you through the footage and explain anything we've found in plain, straightforward language. You'll receive a written report along with the recorded footage, which you can keep for your own records, an insurer, a builder or a certifier. From there, we'll recommend the most practical next step, whether that's a simple clean, root removal, pipe relining or a targeted repair.
