CCTV Drain Inspection: What We Actually Do
A CCTV drain inspection means feeding a waterproof camera down the line and watching the footage in real time, not guessing from the surface.
It finds cracked joints, root intrusion, collapsed sections, grease build-up and straightforward blockages exactly where they sit.
It's just as useful confirming a line is sound as it is finding a fault.
The same camera pass works whether the job is a pre-purchase check, a repeat-blockage mystery, or confirming a previous repair actually held.
Nothing about the process changes based on what we expect to find. The camera goes down the line either way, and the footage decides the next step, not an assumption made beforehand.
Reports come with the actual footage, not just a summary written up afterwards. That matters if the inspection ends up supporting a strata claim, a sale, or simply a second opinion down the track.

Six Signs Your Drains Are Asking for CCTV Drain Inspection
A handful of situations are worth a camera pass before anything gets decided.
These are the ones where booking a camera pass first saves a wasted guess later.
- This same line has clogged more than once already this year
- A sale or purchase is riding on knowing the drains are genuinely sound
- A previous repair's history is unclear or undocumented
- Water is pooling somewhere with no obvious visible cause
- A quote for bigger work hinges on knowing exactly what's underground
- Council or a neighbour has raised a question about where a line runs
- A landlord or strata manager needs proof of the drain's condition before approving work

Why Granville Properties Call For This
Granville's housing runs across several distinct eras, from pre-1940 weatherboard and fibro cottages through to the newer apartment stock going up close to the station.
Two homes on the same street, even along a stretch like Woodville Road, can be running on completely different generations of pipe, one still on original earthenware, the other on modern PVC laid within the last decade.
From the footpath, there's no way to tell which is which.
A camera survey removes the guesswork entirely, showing the actual pipe rather than assuming its condition from the age of the house above it.
That matters most on a property changing hands, where nobody wants a nasty surprise showing up on the first heavy flush after settlement.
It matters just as much on a rental, where a landlord wants a straight answer before authorising anything, and a tenant wants the problem actually fixed rather than papered over.

What Affects the Cost of CCTV Drain Inspection
A CCTV inspection is priced on the job in front of us, not a blanket call-out rate.
- How many separate lines need running, not just the main one
- Whether access points already exist or need to be found first
- The total length of pipe being surveyed
- Whether a documented report is wanted on top of the raw footage
- Whether the inspection is standalone or paired with a jet blast
Standalone inspections are quoted plainly upfront. Paired with any jet blast, the camera pass costs nothing extra, so the fix and the proof happen on the same visit.
None of this is priced as a generic call-out. A short, single-access run costs less than a multi-line survey with a written report attached, and you'll know which one you're getting before agreeing to anything.

The Process, and What It Typically Takes
A single line, once we're set up and access is sorted, is usually wrapped up well within the visit.
A full property survey covering several lines, or a longer run out to the street connection, needs more time, flagged upfront rather than guessed on the day.
On mixed-era streets like Granville's, that time can run a little longer than average, simply because there's more history to check on a property that's changed hands or been extended more than once.
Either way, the sequence stays the same: access the line, run the camera, record what it finds, and hand over a clear answer rather than a vague impression.
We'll talk through the footage on the spot too, not leave you waiting on a follow-up call to find out what it actually meant.

Standards and Paperwork, Explained Simply
A CCTV survey falls under the same licensed-plumbing rules as any other job, run under our licence #465156C.
What the camera finds gets measured against the AS/NZS 3500 benchmark for drainage, so a defect is judged against an actual standard rather than eyeballed.
Where a property already has a sewer service diagram, we check the camera's findings against it.
Where one doesn't exist, the inspection itself becomes a useful record for next time.
None of this is a formality tacked onto the job. It's what separates a plumber's guess from a documented finding you can actually rely on later.

The Difference on a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
The footage is yours to watch too, not a verbal summary handed over after the fact.
The crew running the camera is the same licensed plumbing team that can act on what it finds, not a separate inspection-only contractor passing the job along.
If a repair follows, that work carries our lifetime labour warranty like every other job on our books.
Nobody's handed off to a different company to actually fix what the camera turns up.

Common questions
Granville CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
Does the lifetime labour warranty cover a CCTV drain inspection itself?
Not the camera pass on its own, since that's diagnostic rather than repair work. Any fix that comes out of what the footage finds is covered, though.
What's actually going down the pipe during the inspection?
A sealed camera head on a flexible push-rod, paired with a locator device that lets us mark the exact spot of any find from ground level.
Can a CCTV drain inspection be booked in Granville on a weekend?
Yes. A Saturday or Sunday booking gets exactly the same slot as a weekday one, pre-purchase and diagnostic inspections included.
For older Granville homes with clay pipes, is it worth booking a CCTV drain inspection?
It's often the most useful thing you can do first. A camera pass shows whether original earthenware pipe is still sound or actually needs attention, rather than guessing from its age.
If the footage shows the fault is actually in the public main, who covers that cost?
Nothing on our side. Once the footage crosses into the street main, that's the water authority's territory, not ours to bill for, and we'll be upfront about exactly where that line sits.
How long does a CCTV drain inspection actually take?
Most single-line inspections are a quick part of the visit, done well before the rest of the job. A full property survey with multiple lines takes a bit longer, and we'll confirm that before starting.
