A real person answers, day or night
When a drain keeps blocking and no one can tell you why
A camera turns guesswork into certainty, showing exactly where a line has cracked, sagged or filled with roots, and how deep the fault sits. Call (02) 9072 0502 and we will show you the footage.
What the camera finds under these older streets
Push a camera into the drains beneath Forest Road or behind the Belmore Street shops and the same story tends to play out on screen right across the older housing.
Aged earthenware joints
Hidden sags and silt
What our CCTV drain inspections cover
A survey is not just a look, it is a diagnosis you can watch, and every job ends with you knowing exactly what is wrong, where it sits and what a lasting fix involves:
Fault-finding camera runs
When a drain misbehaves and the cause stays a mystery, we send a self-levelling camera along the entire run, record the pass, and pinpoint every crack, root and sag so the repair is quoted directly from exactly what we see.
Pre-purchase drain checks
Before you commit to an older home near Belmore Street, we camera the drains and hand you plain footage of their true condition, so a collapsed clay line never becomes a nasty and expensive surprise a few weeks after settlement.
Locate and depth check
Once the camera finds the fault, an above-ground sonde follows the head so we flag its precise position and how deep it lies on your surface, turning what could be a whole-yard dig into one small, exact and tidy excavation.
Verification footage
After any clearing or repair we run the camera through one final time and give you the before and after, proof on screen that the line is clear, correctly graded and genuinely fixed rather than simply signed off on trust.
Why footage settles the argument here
In the newer blocks near the railway station a shared drain fault quickly becomes a strata dispute, and nothing ends it faster than footage everyone can sit and watch together.
One line, many owners
A record that lasts
Common reasons locals book a camera survey
Two situations send most people looking for a camera rather than another blind clear, and both are about replacing a guess with something you can see:
Blockages with no clear cause
A drain that chokes again and again after every rod-through has a physical reason the eye cannot see, and the camera finds it, most often a split joint or a quiet dip that collects everything drifting past.
Unknown drains before buying
Taking on an older house means taking on its buried pipework blind, so a pre-purchase survey trades that unknown for certainty, letting you buy, plan or walk away with the full picture in hand before you sign.
Why a proper inspection matters
Guessing at a buried fault wastes money on the wrong repair, while a short camera run aims the fix precisely, so the small cost of looking first almost always pays for itself several times over:
- No wasted digging Pinpointing the fault's position and depth up front means one small, targeted dig instead of a trench chasing the pipe across the whole yard.
- The right repair chosen Footage shows whether a line can be relined or needs replacing, so you never pay for more, or less, than the pipe actually needs.
- Leverage and proof A dated survey stands as evidence for a strata claim, an insurer or a purchase price, turning your word into a documented, watchable record.
How it works
How an inspection runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Inspect, record and explain
Given your approval we run the camera along the whole line, record everything it finds, then sit down with you over the footage so you understand the fault and your real options before any repair is chosen.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Arncliffe
Work with a licensed team that shows you the screen and explains it plainly rather than asking you to take a diagnosis on faith.
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Arncliffe works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
We run camera surveys across Wolli Creek, Banksia, Rockdale, Turrella and Kogarah as well, older river-side pockets full of clay pipework where seeing inside the line first saves everyone the cost of digging in the wrong place.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain camera questions Arncliffe locals ask
What can a drain camera actually show me?
It shows the pipe's interior live on screen, revealing cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, sags and collapses, along with exactly how far along the line each fault sits.
Should I get the drains checked before buying an older house?
Absolutely, because a camera survey exposes a failing clay line before settlement, turning a hidden six-figure risk into a known quantity you can price or negotiate on.
Will I be given the video and a written report?
Yes, you keep the recorded video plus a plain-language summary of what was found and where, a lasting record that serves the next insurer, buyer or plumber who asks.
Can the camera pinpoint where to dig?
It can, since an above-ground locator follows the camera head and pins the precise position and depth of the fault, so any excavation stays small and accurately placed.
What will a camera drain survey cost me?
The call out is $0, so the survey carries one fixed price agreed upfront, and you keep the footage and findings whether or not any repair follows afterwards.
Will an inspection tell me if the drain can be relined?
It will, since the footage makes clear whether the host pipe is sound enough to line or whether a section has collapsed too far and needs a targeted dig instead.
