What Is a CCTV Drain Camera Inspection?
A CCTV drain camera inspection uses a waterproof camera on a flexible cable to travel through a drain or pipe and send live video back to a screen above ground. It shows the condition of the pipe from the inside without digging.
Instead of guessing why a drain is slow or blocked, a camera inspection shows the cause and its location, so the right fix can be planned the first time. Drain Vac inspects drains for homes, rental properties, businesses and rural properties across Warrnambool VIC 3280 and surrounding areas.
A drain camera inspection helps you:
- See the cause of slow or blocked drains
- Locate where in the pipe a problem sits
- Check the condition of older pipes
- Avoid unnecessary digging and guesswork
- Make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance
Warning Signs
When Do You Need a Drain Camera Inspection?
Most drain problems give a warning before they become an emergency. If the same drain keeps playing up, the cause is usually further down the pipe than a plunger or hose can reach.
A camera inspection is also worth arranging before you commit to a property or a building project, when knowing the condition of the drains can save an expensive surprise.
Signs it is time to inspect a drain:
- Drains that are slow to clear
- Blockages that keep coming back
- Gurgling sounds from drains or pipes
- Unpleasant odours around drains
- Water pooling or overflowing near pits and downpipes
- Buying, selling or renovating a property
Noticing one or more of these? A drain camera inspection shows what is going on before the problem grows.
What We Look For
What Can a CCTV Drain Inspection Find?
A drain camera shows the inside of the pipe in real time, so common causes of drain trouble can be identified and located.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots that have entered through joints or cracks in search of moisture and are growing inside the pipe.
Cracked or Broken Pipes
Fractures and breaks that let water escape from the line or allow soil to enter it.
Collapsed or Sagging Sections
Parts of the pipe that have dropped or collapsed and now hold water or stop the flow altogether.
Displaced Joints
Sections of pipe that have moved out of alignment and catch debris as it passes.
Foreign Objects
Items lodged in the line that should never have entered the drain.

How Do Drain Inspections Fit With Gutter and Tank Cleaning?
Rainwater lands on the roof, runs through the gutters and downpipes, and leaves the property through stormwater drains or flows into a rainwater tank. A blockage anywhere along that path can cause water to back up and overflow, even when the gutters themselves are clean.
That is why CCTV drain camera inspections sit alongside our drain cleaning, gutter cleaning, rainwater tank cleaning and pressure washing services. You can arrange more than one service in the same visit.
