Find Hidden Drainage Problems Without Digging Up Your Property

Dealing with frequent blocked drains, slow-draining sinks or smelly sinks in your home and backyard? Drainage issues are stressful, but it's even more frustrating when you don’t know what’s causing the problem.

Common drainage problems like tree root intrusion, cracked pipes, collapsed sewer lines, and stubborn blockages often go undetected until it's too late. Without the right equipment, diagnosing these issues can involve unnecessary digging or temporary fixes that don’t address the root cause of the problem.

At Purity Plumbing, our plumbers use CCTV drain cameras to inspect your drains and provide you with cost-effective and affordable solutions without digging up your garden.

What is a Drain Camera?

A drain camera or a sewer camera is a specialised waterproof camera that’s inserted into your drain to inspect the inside of your pipes and identify hidden plumbing problems. These modern and advanced cameras let our plumbers get to the root of the problem and see exactly what’s happening underground without the need to dig up your entire garden.

Drain cameras provide valuable information like location tracking, depth measurements and digital recordings that help our plumber determine the correct next step for long-lasting repairs.

How Does A CCTV Drain Camera Work?

A drain camera is an advanced waterproof camera that is mounted on a flexible cable and is equipped with LED lights. Much more powerful than your standard camera, a drain camera is built to handle the dark and rugged conditions of the inside of your pipes. Once our plumbers have access to your drains, we feed the drain camera into your pipe and, using the video inspection system, we can clearly see what's going on.

Common Problems We Find During Drain Camera Inspections

• Tree Root Intrusions
• Blocked Drains
• Cracked Pipes
• Misaligned Pipes
• Corrosion 
• Mineral, grease and sediment buildup
• Old and Collapsed pipes
• Foreign objects stuck in the drain

By identifying these problems early, you help prevent costly emergency plumbing repairs while saving yourself time and stress.

When to Use a Drain Camera?

Drain cameras are a useful tool for a wide range of drainage situations, especially when you are dealing with constant drainage issues or want to assess the condition of your pipework.

Our team of licensed and insured plumbers commonly recommend a CCTV camera inspection for:

• Recurring blocked drains
• Slow-draining sinks, showers and toilets
• Unpleasant sewer smells
• Suspected tree root intrusion
• Repeated sewer line issues
• Investigating older drainage systems and infrastructure
• Locating collapsed or damaged pipes
• Ongoing stormwater drainage concerns

Rather than calling multiple plumbers to try and fix the issue, a CCTV inspection lets us find the underlying problem in one go.

Pre-Purchase CCTV Inspections

When buying a home, it’s a requirement to schedule a building and pest pre-purchase inspection. However, many new homeowners don’t know that it generally doesn’t cover the property’s plumbing systems.

To fully protect your new house before settlement, our plumbers recommend scheduling a pre-purchase CCTV drain inspection. During this inspection, our plumbers insert a quality drain camera into your home’s pipes, looking for any signs of wear and tear, corrosion, cracks, tree root invasions and blockages that a visual inspection misses. Our plumbers check all of your drains, including your underground sewer lines and stormwater pipes.

For buyers wanting greater peace of mind or if you are planning on buying an older Brisbane home, a CCTV drain inspection can help you to prevent expensive surprises and problems later down the track.

Tree Root Invasions In Brisbane

Tree root intrusions are one of the most common causes of blocked drains and damaged sewer lines in Brisbane. Many of the suburbs have mature gum trees and other fast-growing species whose roots naturally seek out moisture underground.

Even the smallest crack in a pipe joint can attract tree roots. Once the roots enter the pipe, they continue to grow and restrict water flow, creating stubborn and recurring blockages. Over time, this leads to cracked pipes, collapsed drains and significant damage to your home’s sewage infrastructure.

What Are The Benefits of Drain Camera Inspections

• Accurate diagnosis
• Non-invasive solution
• Cost-effective
• Clear visual evidence
• Prevents future blockages
• Improves the health of your drain in the long term

Why Guessing Could Cost You More

Without a CCTV drain inspection, diagnosing underground plumbing problems often involves a lot of guesswork. In some cases, Brisbane homeowners are repeatedly clearing blockages without addressing the root cause of the issue.

Our modern sewer cameras allow us to accurately identify blockages, damaged pipes and common drainage issues. This helps you avoid expensive and unnecessary repairs and make more informed decisions about your home’s plumbing system.
