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.

Frequently Asked Questions.
CCTV drain inspections Sydney locate hidden damage like pipe deterioration, root intrusion, and structural issues with accuracy.
CCTV drain inspections Sydney locate hidden damage like pipe deterioration, root intrusion, and structural issues with accuracy.
Yes, CCTV pipe camera inspections identify leaks and faults deep within the pipeline for targeted repairs.
Sydney CCTV drain inspections typically take less than an hour, depending on pipe length and condition.
Absolutely, CCTV pipe inspection services eliminate unnecessary excavation, saving both time and money on pipe repairs.
Usually not. NSW Government guidance says building inspectors don't normally check plumbing, drainage or gasfitting, and a report may recommend a specialist for those. A CCTV drain inspection is that specialist check for the sewer line.
The diagram shows where the private wastewater pipes run on the property. It doesn't show their condition — only a camera inside the pipe can do that.
You do. The property owner is responsible for the private pipes up to the point of connection to Sydney Water's system, including tree roots that get into that connection. Sydney Water owns the junction itself.
Before you exchange contracts if you can. If you've already exchanged on a private sale, NSW gives you a 5 business day cooling-off period — but pulling out costs 0.25% of the price. There's no cooling-off period if you buy at auction, so book it before auction day.
We'll show you the footage, explain whether it needs clearing, relining or excavating, and give you a price range in the written report. Many buyers use that to negotiate the price or ask the vendor to fix it before settlement.
Worth checking. Building over or next to Sydney Water pipes needs Sydney Water's approval, and your conveyancer can request a "building over sewer" letter from Sydney Water. Our camera will also show whether the private pipes under the structure are damaged.
$350 for a standalone inspection, including the video and written report. If you go ahead with any clearing or relining work with us, the inspection is free.
Yes — you keep the video and the written report.
