Whether you've got a recurring blocked drain, a slow-draining sink, or you're buying a property and want peace of mind, our team can locate the exact issue without tearing up your yard or bathroom floor. We use sonde locating equipment alongside our cameras to map drain paths and depths, so any follow-up work, whether it's pipe relining or drain excavation, is planned with precision.

If you've noticed gurgling pipes, bad odours, or water pooling near your property, don't wait for the problem to worsen.

Give our friendly Gailes team a call and we'll organise a time that suits you.

Facing a Drain Problem?

Signs Your Drains Need a Closer Look

Recurring blockages, slow-draining sinks and showers, or a gurgling toilet are rarely random. Underneath, there could be root intrusion, a cracked pipe, an offset joint, or a belly forming in the line that traps waste and water every time you use it. Left unchecked, these issues tend to worsen, leading to overflows, damp patches on walls, or soggy ground near stormwater pits.

Older homes throughout Gailes often have earthenware or aging PVC pipework that's more prone to root inspection findings and structural wear. Even newer builds can suffer from poorly connected joints or under-slab pipe issues that only show up as a musty smell or a wet patch on the carpet. A drain camera inspection cuts through the guesswork, showing us precisely what's happening and how far along the pipe the defect sits.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

      We get asked plenty of questions about CCTV drain inspections from Gailes homeowners and business owners. Here are some of the most common ones, answered plainly by our experienced plumbing team.

      A waterproof camera on a flexible push rod or cable is fed through an access point, such as an inspection opening or gully, and guided along the pipe. The camera sends a live video feed back to our plumber, letting them see cracks, blockages, root intrusion, or joint problems in real time. If needed, we can also use a sonde locator to mark the exact position and depth of the camera head from above ground, which is especially useful before any excavation or relining work is planned.
      Yes, root intrusion is one of the most common issues our camera inspections uncover. Tree roots often find their way in through small cracks or loose joints, especially in older earthenware pipework, and will keep growing until they cause a full blockage. Once we've located the root intrusion on camera, we can recommend the right approach, whether that's cutting and clearing the roots or relining the section to stop them coming back.
      It's a smart step, particularly for older homes or properties with established gardens where root intrusion is more likely. A pre-purchase drain inspection gives you a clear picture of the condition of the pipework before you commit, flagging any relining, replacement, or repair work that might be needed down the track. It can save you from inheriting a costly problem that isn't visible from the surface.
      No, that's one of the main benefits of this method. The camera is guided gently through the existing pipe without any cutting, digging, or forcing, so there's no additional wear or damage caused by the inspection itself. It's a non-invasive way to see exactly what's happening inside your drainage system before deciding on any repair work.
      Once we've identified the issue, whether it's a blockage, a cracked pipe, a belly in the line, or an offset joint, we'll walk you through what we've found using the footage and explain your options. Depending on the severity, this might mean a straightforward clean and clear, a patch repair, or trenchless pipe relining. You'll always understand the recommendation before any further work goes ahead.
