What we do

At Help Plumbing, we use advanced CCTV drain camera systems and electronic pipe locators to thoroughly inspect underground and concealed pipework. This technology lets us visually assess the internal condition of your drains, identify blockages, cracks, tree root intrusions, joint failures, or collapsed sections, and accurately locate the exact position and depth of the issue.

By pinpointing the problem without unnecessary excavation, we minimise disruption to your property and ensure the most effective repair method is selected from the outset. Our CCTV inspections also let us test appliance connections and confirm pipe alignment, helping prevent repeat blockages and ongoing drainage issues.

This precise, data-driven approach saves time, reduces costs, and delivers long-term plumbing solutions you can rely on. We provide a recording of every inspection so you have a permanent record of your pipe condition — useful for insurance claims, pre-purchase building inspections, and future maintenance.

How it works

Our standard process for every cctv inspections job.

  1. 1

    Access

    Insert the flexible camera through an existing access point — drain, downpipe, or inspection chamber. No excavation.

  2. 2

    Survey

    The camera transmits live video to our screen. We narrate what we're seeing as the camera travels through the pipe.

  3. 3

    Locate

    Electronic pipe locator pinpoints the exact position and depth of any defect, marked above ground.

  4. 4

    Report

    You receive the recording plus a written summary of findings and recommended repair options with quoted pricing.

Common cctv inspections scenarios we handle

Real-world situations we see across Sydney every week — chances are one of these matches what's happening at your place.

  • Pre-purchase property inspection. Buying an older Inner West home? A CCTV inspection of the drainage line gives you peace of mind — or leverage in negotiation if there's a problem.
  • Recurring blockage of unknown cause. If you've cleared the same drain twice this year, the pipe itself is the problem. CCTV finds the defect — root intrusion, crack, sag, or collapse — so the next repair is the last one.
  • Sewer overflow during heavy rain. A camera survey identifies whether stormwater is breaching into sewer (crossed connections, council issue) or your line is failing (your responsibility).
  • Insurance documentation. Insurance claims for water damage often need documentary evidence of the cause. The recording from a CCTV inspection is the gold standard.

Common issues we fix

  • Tree root intrusion at pipe joints
  • Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipe sections
  • Blockages from foreign objects, grease, or debris
  • Misaligned or sagging pipes (leading to recurring blockages)
  • Pipe corrosion or deterioration in old galvanised or earthenware lines
  • Pre-purchase property inspections — confirm drainage condition before you buy

What's included in our cctv inspections job

Every cctv inspections job from Help Plumbing covers the full diagnostic-to-cleanup arc — not just the headline task.

  • Flexible CCTV camera inserted via existing access — no excavation
  • Live screen so you can see what we see during the inspection
  • Electronic pipe locator marking depth + position above ground
  • Digital recording of the full inspection (kept on file or sent to you)
  • Written report: pipe condition, defects identified, recommended repair options
  • Quoted pricing for any recommended remedial work — no obligation

Transparent pricing — no surprises

Every cctv inspections job is quoted upfront in writing — diagnostic first, then a fixed price agreed before any work starts. No call-out surprises, no halfway-through "variations". If the scope changes (hidden damage discovered during the job, for instance), we pause, explain the variation, and quote it before continuing. You decide whether to proceed.

We don't quote cctv inspections jobs sight-unseen over the phone. Diagnostic first, written quote second, work third — in that order. It's slower but it means the price you agree is the price you pay.

CCTV Camera Inspections — FAQs

  • Most residential inspections take 30–60 minutes including locating defects above ground.

  • Yes — we share the screen during the inspection so you can see what we see, plus we provide a digital recording afterwards.

  • Often yes, especially when investigating water damage or pre-purchase issues. Talk to your insurer or building inspector about reimbursement.

  • Sewer, stormwater, and large-diameter drainage. Cameras don't fit in narrow water-supply pipes — leak detection equipment is used there instead.
