How Much Does a CCTV Drain Inspection Cost?

The CCTV inspection is free with any drain clearing or relining job. If you only need the inspection — for example before buying a house — a standalone inspection is $350, including the video and a written report.

Pre-Purchase Drain Inspection for Home Buyers

Buying an older home in Sydney's Inner West? Your building and pest report won't tell you what's happening in the sewer. NSW Government guidance lists plumbing and drainage among the things a building inspector doesn't normally check, and the sewer service diagram in the contract shows where the pipes run — not what condition they're in.

We run a CCTV camera through the property's private sewer line and record what we find — tree roots in the joints, cracked or collapsed clay pipe, sagging sections that hold water, or old patch repairs. You get the video and a written report to take to your conveyancer or use in price negotiations. If there's a problem, we'll tell you whether it needs clearing, relining or digging up, and give you a price range.

Once you own the property, those pipes are your responsibility all the way to the point where they connect to Sydney Water's system — including tree roots getting into that connection. It's far cheaper to find out before you sign.

Standalone pre-purchase inspection: $350, including the video and written report. Book before you exchange — or before auction day, because there's no cooling-off period at auction.

Wondering when to schedule a CCTV pipe inspection? Persistent blockages, strange gurgling noises, foul odours, or recurring leaks are clear indicators. Prevent costly repairs by addressing issues early. Our CCTV drain inspections Sydney offer precise solutions for homes and businesses across the Inner West.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can pipe relining fix tree root damage in sewer pipes?

Yes. Relining seals the cracked joints roots get in through, so they can't grow back into the pipe. We cut the roots out first with a hydro-jetter or robotic cutter, then install the liner — no digging up your garden.

Is pipe relining safe for older pipes like earthenware or asbestos?

Yes. We reline earthenware, clay, cast iron, PVC and asbestos-cement pipes. The old pipe stays in place and the liner forms a new pipe inside it, so there's no need to dig out or disturb the original material.

Will pipe relining reduce the flow capacity of my pipes?

Usually not in any way you'd notice. The liner is only a few millimetres thick, and because it's smooth and has no joints, water often flows better than it did through the cracked old pipe.

Can pipe relining be done in small, confined spaces?

Yes. That's where relining pays for itself — pipes under driveways, slabs, tiled courtyards and extensions can be repaired through an existing access point without breaking anything up.

How do I know if pipe relining is right for my property?

We put a CCTV camera through the line first — free with any clearing or relining job — and show you the footage. If the pipe has collapsed or sagged badly we'll tell you it needs digging; if it's cracked or root-damaged, relining is usually the better option.
