CCTV Drain Inspection Melbourne
We run a self-levelling camera through your drain, locate the fault and mark it on the surface with the depth noted. You see the footage live on the monitor and get a plain explanation of what has failed and where it sits.
Rated 5/5 based on 50+ reviews. Licensed and insured, 6+ years on Melbourne homes.
Tired Of Guessing What's Down There?
The most common reason is a drain that keeps coming back. It gets cleared, runs fine for a few months, then stops again. Clearing treats the symptom. The camera tells you why it keeps happening, and whether the answer is pipe relining.
Buyers book one before settlement. A building inspection stops at the walls, so nobody looks at the drains on an older house. Insurers ask for footage too, because a drain damage claim needs evidence of what failed and where.
Then the practical jobs. Putting in a pool, a shed slab or an extension and needing the line located and marked before anyone digs. Or chasing a smell with no obvious source, usually a cracked pipe or a dry trap.

Get eyes inside the pipe, usually same week
We feed a self-levelling camera head down the line through an existing inspection opening, gully or shaft, and watch the footage live on the monitor. You can watch with us. The cause is usually obvious on screen within a couple of minutes.
The camera head carries a sonde, a small transmitter we track from above ground. That lets us mark the lawn or the concrete over the fault and tell you how deep it sits. If it needs digging, that mark means one neat hole.
The usual finds: root intrusion through a joint, a cracked barrel, a belly holding water, displaced joints, foreign objects, or a collapsed section. You get the footage and a straight explanation of what can wait and what cannot.

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
The inside wall of the pipe, all the way along. Roots pushing through a joint, cracks, a belly holding water, joints that have dropped or displaced, silt and scale build-up, foreign objects, and any section that has collapsed. It also shows the pipe material.
On an older property, yes. Drains are the one part of a house nobody looks at during a building inspection, and replacing a failed sewer line is a serious bill that lands on whoever owns it. Worth doing on anything with clay pipes.
We normally clear enough of the blockage to get the camera through first, otherwise it sits in standing water and you see nothing useful. That is the right order anyway: relieve the blockage, then survey the clean pipe. See our blocked drain service.
Yes. The sonde in the camera head lets us trace the line from above and mark its path and depth on the surface. Handy before a pool, a slab, footings or serious landscaping, and cheaper than putting a bucket through a sewer line.
It is a fixed fee for the survey and we tell you that figure on the phone before we come out. Any work that follows is quoted separately once we have both seen the footage, and nothing goes ahead until you have agreed to it.
We are based in Glenroy and run drain camera work right across Melbourne: north, west, inner-city and beyond. Pre-purchase surveys are turned around quickly. Tell us your suburb when you call and we will confirm a time.
