Stop guessing and start diagnosing.

Why the Central Coast Trusts Our CCTV Inspections
What Our Cameras Uncover
A CCTV inspection lays bare the true condition of your pipes — and the real cause of your drainage problems.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots sneaking in through pipe joints and cracks — the leading cause of recurring blockages on the Coast.
Cracks & Fractures
Cracked or fractured pipe walls leaking sewage and inviting roots straight back in.
Collapsed Sections
Pipe sections that have caved in or sagged, choking flow and calling for relining or replacement.
Offset & Dislodged Joints
Misaligned joints that snag debris and spark repeat blockages — plain to see on camera.
Foreign Objects
Toys, wet wipes, building debris and other obstructions jammed in the line.
Scale & Build-up
Hard water scale and sludge narrowing the pipe and strangling flow.
How a CCTV Inspection Works
Access & Insert
We reach your drain through an existing inspection opening, boundary trap or by lifting a fixture.
Camera Push-Through
Our HD camera travels the length of the pipe, recording the full interior live on a monitor.
Locate & Diagnose
We mark the exact spot and type of any fault using the camera's built-in transmitter.
Report & Quote
You get recorded footage, a clear diagnosis, and an upfront fixed quote for any repair work.

WHAT YOU CAN TRY — & WHEN TO CALL US
A few simple cctv camera inspection fixes are safe to try yourself. But the moment things get tricky, dangerous or keep coming back, it's time to bring in the licensed crew at Blocked Drains Central Coast.
Safe to Try Yourself
Quick, low-risk steps to attempt first
- Watch for warning signs yourself — gurgling drains, slow flow, bad smells or damp patches in the yard.
- Keep a record of which fixtures are affected and how often blockages recur.
- Check your water bill for unexplained spikes that could point to a hidden leak.
- Note any trees growing close to your sewer or stormwater line — a common cause of root intrusion.
Stop & Call Us Instead
When DIY won't cut it — or could make it worse
- You need to know exactly what's wrong inside an underground pipe — only a drain camera can show you.
- Blockages keep recurring and you want the root cause found, not just cleared.
- You're buying a property and want a pre-purchase drain survey to avoid hidden repair bills.
- You need footage and a written report for insurance, strata or a body corporate.
- Locating a fault's exact depth and position for a no-dig repair requires specialist sonde equipment.
Tip: Never pour harsh chemical drain cleaners down your pipes — they rarely clear a real blockage, damage older pipes and are dangerous to handle. If a plunger or hot water hasn't worked in 10 minutes, call a licensed professional.
CCTV Inspection FAQs
What does a CCTV drain camera inspection involve?
We feed a high-definition, waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line to record the inside of the pipe in real time. That lets us see exactly what's behind the trouble — tree roots, cracks, collapses, offset joints or foreign objects — and pinpoint its precise location, so we can fix it without trial-and-error digging.
Why use a camera instead of just snaking the drain?
A snake clears a blockage but won't tell you what caused it or whether the pipe is damaged. Without a camera, recurring clogs and hidden cracks often slip by unnoticed until they turn into big failures. A CCTV inspection gives you the full picture — the cause, the spot, and the exact repair needed — so you're not paying for work that won't last.
Can the camera pinpoint the exact location of a problem?
Yes. Our cameras carry a locating transmitter (sonde) that we trace from above ground, letting us mark the exact spot of a crack, root intrusion or collapse. That means targeted, minimal-dig repairs instead of excavating the whole line.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes. We record the full inspection and hand over footage or stills showing the condition of your pipes, the location of any faults, and before-and-after results once repairs are done. It's handy for insurance, strata and future reference.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
We offer CCTV drain inspections with a $0 call-out fee* during business hours. Once we've diagnosed the issue on camera, we give you an upfront fixed quote for any clearing or repair work — no hidden costs, no obligation. Call 0475 735 463 for details.
Should I get a CCTV inspection before buying a property?
Definitely. A pre-purchase CCTV drain inspection can reveal hidden cracks, root damage and collapsed sections in the sewer and stormwater lines before you sign — potentially saving you thousands in surprise repairs. We recommend it for any Central Coast property purchase.
