Why Put a Camera Down Before Anything Else?
Because guessing costs money twice. A drain that blocks on this town's pre-war grid can be roots, a collapsed earthenware joint or a sagged section, and each one gets a different fix. Film settles which one it is before any price is written.
- It pins the blockage to a spot in the yard, not a vague stretch of pipe
- It shows what the line is made of: salt-glazed earthenware, clay, galvanised steel or PVC
- It reveals whether roots have entered, whether a joint has dropped and how far the damage runs
- It proves the line is clear after a blocked drain clear, so the same fault does not return next month
The same crew behind the camera handles the full range of work a plumber in Weston gets called for, from drains to hot water and gas.
How the Camera Run Works

Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

The camera goes down the line
The drain camera travels the pipe from an access point, filming to the boundary while the screen shows every joint, crack and root thread in real time.

Where the film finds a plain blockage in good pipe, high-pressure jetting clears it and a second pass records the pipe flowing again.
What Moves the Figure on a Camera Job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- Access to the line A camera through a garden gully is a different job to one that needs a pan pulled or an inspection shaft opened.
- Length of the run Filming to the boundary is one thing; tracing and marking the pipe's route across the yard adds time on site.
- Whether the line needs clearing first A fully choked pipe has to be jetted before the camera can see anything, which makes it a two-part job.
Every drain is different, so the price comes from your pipe, not a list. The invoice carries the figure you agreed.

Where the Camera Stops and Someone Else Starts
When we're not the right call: a camera that reaches the street and finds the break in Hunter Water's sewer has found their repair, and you ring them with our film in hand. A pipe crushed beneath a driveway slab may need an excavator crew as well, and you hear that before any work is booked.
CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
How long does a camera inspection take?
The camera goes down through an opening like the gully or a removed pan, films to the boundary, and the footage gets reviewed with you on the spot. If the line is completely choked we clear it first, then film. You see the state of the pipe before we pack up.
Do I get to see the footage from my Weston drain?
Yes. You see exactly what the camera sees while it is in the pipe, and we talk you through it plainly: where it snags, whether the pipe is clay or PVC, and which joints have moved. The report travels with the invoice.
Can the camera tell me if the pipe needs relining?
Yes. The film shows one cracked joint or a long failing stretch, and one joint can be repaired on its own while a stretch is better relined end to end. Our pipe relining service explains how a failing stretch is sealed.
Is a camera run worth it on a drain that only blocks sometimes?
It can be. A drain on this town's old earthenware lines that slows now and then can be roots working into a joint that has not fully closed the pipe yet. Filming it now costs less than clearing a choked main later, and it tells you what you are dealing with while it is still a small problem.
