CCTV Drain Inspections Melbourne
See Exactly What’s Happening Inside Your Pipes
At The Plumbing and Roofing Company, we use advanced CCTV drain camera technology to look directly inside your pipes and identify the exact cause of the issue — without excavation, without guesswork, and without unnecessary damage to your property.
Stop the Guesswork with Advanced Camera Diagnostics
Our specialised waterproof CCTV drain cameras travel through your pipework, recording high-resolution footage of the inside of your drainage system. This allows us to locate blockages, pipe damage, tree root intrusion and structural issues with pinpoint accuracy.
Instead of relying on assumptions, we show you exactly what’s happening underground or inside your walls, so you can make informed decisions about the right fix.
What Our CCTV Drain Inspections Can Identify
Drainage systems are more complex than most homeowners realise. Our inspections allow us to assess:
Main sewer lines connected to Melbourne’s sewer network
Stormwater drains and downpipes
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drain pipes
Underground pipework around your property
Commercial and trade waste drains
Pool and outdoor drainage systems
This technology is also extremely valuable for pre-purchase property inspections, giving buyers a clear understanding of the condition of the pipes before committing to a property.
Common Drainage Issues We Discover Across Melbourne
-
Tree Root Intrusion
Melbourne’s leafy suburbs make tree root intrusion one of the most common causes of blocked and damaged drains. Roots enter through tiny cracks in pipes and expand over time. Our cameras detect even early root growth before it becomes a major blockage.
-
Cracked or Collapsed Pipes
Older clay and concrete pipes throughout Melbourne are prone to cracking and collapse due to age and ground movement. We identify:
Hairline cracks allowing water escape
Sections of pipe that have collapsed
Joint separations from soil movement
Pipe corrosion and deterioration
-
Foreign Objects and Debris
From wipes and toys to built-up waste, we locate exactly what’s causing blockages so we can remove it in the most effective way.
-
Pipe Misalignment and “Bellying”
Ground movement can cause pipes to sag, creating low points where waste builds up. Our cameras pinpoint these areas accurately, which is essential for planning proper repairs.
