CCTV drain inspection Brisbane: see what’s in the pipe
A camera through the line shows tree roots, cracks, collapsed pipe and build-ups, and exactly where they are. You see the footage and get written findings.
CCTV drain inspection in Brisbane
A drain camera shows you exactly what’s going on inside a pipe, without digging. We feed a waterproof camera through the line and watch it on a screen as it goes, so we can see tree roots, cracks, collapsed or sagging sections, offset joints and build-ups, and where they are. You see the footage, and you get photos of what we found.
When a camera inspection makes sense
- A drain that keeps blocking, even after it’s been cleared
- Gurgling toilets, or slow drains in several rooms at once
- Sewer smells outside, or soggy patches in the yard
- Before you renovate, extend, landscape or build over a line
- When an insurer, body corporate or property manager needs evidence
- After a house raise or new build, to check the new drainage
What the camera can show
Tree roots are the most common cause of repeat blockages in older Brisbane homes. They find their way into small cracks and joints in the pipe, then grow and catch everything that comes down the line. The camera also shows broken or collapsed pipe, sections that have sagged and hold water, joints that have moved apart, and fat or debris build-up.
Tree roots on camera
What was behind a drain that kept blocking: roots growing into the pipe.

Recent reviews
“What was initially a simple blocked toilet… further investigated with tree roots penetrating the toilet system requiring a complex job. Jaysen communicated well throughout the whole process… and priced the job fairly.”
“I have had storm water drains cleared and fixed, water mains leak located and fixed, and they replumbed our cold water lines throughout the house.”
