CCTV drain camera inspection service

Joniec Plumbing offers a specialised CCTV plumbing camera inspection so you can see the real condition of the pipe before any repair starts. We map the line, explain what we find in plain language, and only go further once you are comfortable with the plan. This sits under our residential plumbing work and plumbing for home owners if you own the property. Larger site drains belong with commercial drainage.

Our CCTV plumbing service in south east Melbourne

Our licensed plumbers use CCTV technology across south east Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs. A high-tech camera with a special sonde sends signals to our locating tools, so we can accurately map underground pipes and find blockages, leaks or misalignment. Spotting the problem early helps us avoid unnecessary digging or pipe cutting, which keeps the repair more targeted.

Plumbing camera checks also help identify clogs, leaks, pipe shifts and bad smells. Once we find the issue, we talk you through a clear repair plan. After the job, we give you a detailed report with our findings, any repairs carried out, and camera images for future reference, so you have a complete picture of the pipe’s condition.

If you need to locate a blockage or simply want to understand what is happening underground, we are ready to help. Call 1300 575 862 when you would like to book an inspection, or use the contact form if it is not urgent. If sewage is backing up or water is uncontrolled, that is 24/7 emergency plumbing.

If your CCTV inspection uncovers a blockage, our blocked drain plumbers can clear it and treat the cause, so the problem does not keep coming back.

Signs you need a CCTV drain inspection in Melbourne

Many drainage problems stay hidden underground until they become costly. A CCTV drain inspection in Melbourne lets our plumbers see inside your pipes and pinpoint the fault, so you are not paying to dig or guess. It is worth booking a camera inspection when you notice any of the following.

  • Slow or gurgling drains that keep coming back even after you clear them.
  • Recurring blockages across sinks, toilets or the yard, which often point to a deeper issue in the main line.
  • Bad smells rising from drains or gullies, a common sign of a cracked or partly blocked pipe.
  • Wet patches, soggy lawn or unexplained damp, which can indicate a leak or a collapsed section underground.
  • Tree roots near old clay pipes, which frequently invade joints and restrict flow.
  • Before you buy a property, when a drain inspection confirms the condition of pipes you cannot see. The report includes our findings and camera images, which is useful when you are deciding on a home and want a clear picture of the underground lines.

Catching these early usually means a smaller, tidier repair. If a camera inspection turns up a blockage, our blocked drain plumbers can clear it and treat the cause so it does not keep returning.

What our CCTV drain camera inspection covers

Our drain camera inspection in Melbourne is designed to give you a clear, honest picture of your drainage system. Rather than assuming what is wrong, we send a high-resolution camera through the line and show you the real condition of the pipe. A typical CCTV plumbing inspection helps us find and confirm:

  • Blockages from grease, debris, wet wipes or foreign objects.
  • Tree root intrusion at pipe joints and cracks, especially in older clay pipes.
  • Cracked, broken or collapsed pipes that restrict flow or leak into the surrounding ground.
  • Pipe misalignment and sagging sections where water and waste pool.
  • Leaks and hidden faults that do not show at the surface.
  • The exact location and depth of the fault, mapped with our locating tools so any repair is targeted.

We inspect residential plumbing and commercial drainage drains, stormwater lines and sewer connections. If the camera reveals a fault in a line linked to a burst or leaking pipe, we can move into burst pipe repairs once you approve the plan. Roof and stormwater issues sit with roof leak repairs.

How our CCTV drain inspection service works

Our CCTV drain inspection service in Melbourne is built to be clear and low-disruption. Joniec Plumbing has served south east Melbourne since 2005, and our licensed plumbers follow the same careful process on every job.

  1. We access the drain. The camera is fed into the pipe through an existing point, so in most cases there is no digging just to see inside.
  2. We inspect and locate. As the camera travels the line, we assess the pipe live on screen and use a sonde and locating tools to mark the exact position and depth of any fault.
  3. We explain what we find. You see the issue for yourself, and we walk you through what it means in plain language, with no pressure.
  4. We give you a clear plan and price before starting further work. Any repair is quoted up front, so there are no surprises.
  5. We complete the work and hand over a report with our findings and camera footage for your records, plus a compliance certificate where the work requires it.

Every job is backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee. We are a licensed Victorian plumber (licence 46989), which you can verify through the Victorian Building Authority, and a CM3 certified contractor with more than 600 five-star Google reviews. For urgent drainage problems, our 24/7 emergency plumbing page explains how we help after hours.

Clear pricing on your CCTV drain inspection

We know an unexpected drain problem is stressful, so we keep the money side simple. Before attending, we will clearly explain the initial cost for the first half-hour. During this time, we will aim to make the situation safe, prevent further damage where possible, and assess the cause of the problem.

As every plumbing issue is different, an accurate quote may not be possible until we have inspected the job and determined whether additional work or parts are required. We will discuss our findings, explain the available options, and provide a quote before carrying out any further work. There are no hidden costs once that quote is agreed.

Because a camera inspection shows us the exact fault and its location, we can quote the right repair rather than an open-ended estimate. If the inspection is part of a larger job, such as clearing a blocked line or roof leak repairs work that has affected stormwater, we set it all out clearly before you commit.
