Killara CCTV Drain Inspection, Done Properly
1000+ five-star reviews
Something specific is causing a drain to block over and over, and clearing it again won't tell you what. A camera will.
We run a locator and camera survey to pinpoint exactly what's wrong and where, then hand you the footage.

When It Is Time for CCTV Drain Inspection
A survey earns its keep whenever the cause of a drain problem isn't obvious from the surface.
- The same drain has blocked more than once despite clearing it
- You're buying or selling and want the sewer line checked first
- A smell or damp patch suggests a leak with no visible source
- Renovation plans need to know exactly where the existing line runs
- A previous plumber cleared it but couldn't say what caused it
- Strata or commercial management needs a documented condition report
If the drain is actively overflowing right now, a straight clear is the faster first step. Our drain cleaning page covers that; the camera comes in once it's flowing again, or straight away if you'd rather know the cause first.
What We Handle Under CCTV Drain Inspection
A proper survey involves more than a camera dangling down a hole.
- Camera and locator survey tracing the line's exact path, depth and condition
- Recurring-blockage diagnosis where clearing alone hasn't solved anything
- Pre-purchase drain reports for buyers wanting to know what they're inheriting
- Documented footage and findings you keep, not just a verbal summary
The locator matters as much as the camera. It tells us the fault's exact position and depth before anyone digs, which is the difference between a precise repair and a guess.
Pre-purchase reports are worth commissioning even when nothing seems wrong. A buyer walking through an older Killara home has no way to see what's under the floor, and a clean-looking bathroom tells you nothing about the pipe behind the wall.
What We See in Killara Drains
Killara's building waves, from Federation and Californian Bungalow homes through to newer stock near the station, mean a survey here rarely finds one uniform pipe material end to end. A line can run earthenware for one stretch and PVC where a section was patched years ago.
That mix is exactly why guessing doesn't work. A crack in an old joint and a root ball further along look completely different on camera, and they need completely different fixes.
Recurring blockages on an established block are the single most common reason we're called out for a survey rather than a clear.
Strata buildings near the station add a layer most single-house surveys don't need: a shared stack means the fault could sit anywhere along a run serving several units, not just the one reporting the problem. We trace the whole shared section so the body corporate gets one clear answer instead of guesswork split between owners.
What Your CCTV Drain Inspection Quote Depends On
Cost comes down to how much pipe the survey covers and how easily we can get an access point into it, not a flat callout figure.
- Length of pipe run being surveyed
- Number of access points available versus needing a new one opened
- Whether it's a straightforward trace or a full diagnostic report
- Single dwelling versus a shared line serving more than one property
- Whether a repair is booked in the same visit as the survey
On Kalang Avenue's older blocks, access points are often original inspection openings rather than a modern boundary shaft, and locating a usable entry point is one of the first things we account for in the price. That detail changes how quickly the locator can trace the full run.

Standards and Boundaries, Explained Simply
A CCTV survey doesn't change who's responsible for what. The stretch running from your house down to the boundary shaft is your drain, ours to survey and fix.
Past that point, it becomes the network operator's main, and a survey that reaches that far simply confirms where your responsibility ends. Drainage inspections in NSW should always be carried out by a licensed plumber, the same as any drain work.
How the Job Runs and How Long It Takes
- We locate the nearest usable access point or inspection opening
- Camera and locator survey the line, recording depth, position and condition
- We walk you through the footage and explain exactly what it shows
- You get the findings, the fixed price for any follow-up work, and the recording
Most single-line surveys take under an hour. A longer run with several access points naturally takes more time, and we'll say so before starting rather than guess.
A shared strata line with more than one section to trace obviously takes longer again, and the quote reflects that upfront rather than growing halfway through the job.
The Difference on a CCTV Drain Inspection Job
A survey is only worth doing if the footage actually gets explained properly, not just handed over. We back that with $0 call-out fee and free quotes on every inspection.
The phone gets picked up by real humans day and night, 365 days a year, so booking a survey never means waiting on hold. Seniors get 10% off the job too.
We're also in the community, for the community, backing Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney, Beyond Blue, Wayside Chapel and Pink Ribbon Day.

Common questions
Your CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
What Killara homeowners want to know before a survey.
How much does cctv drain inspection cost in Sydney?
It depends on the length of run being checked and how many entry points the job needs. You get a free on-site quote and a fixed price before the camera goes in, never a phone guess.
Who is responsible if the blockage is in the sewer main?
The footage itself settles that question. Your responsibility runs to the boundary shaft, and anything past it is the network operator's problem, not yours.
How do I prepare before you arrive?
Nothing specific. Just point us to the nearest access point or inspection cover if you know where one is.
Can I try to clear it myself first?
There's no home version of a locator and camera rig, so this isn't really a DIY option. If you've already had a go at clearing it without luck, booking the survey is the sensible next move.
Will you show me proof the drain is clear?
That's the entire point of the service. You get to see the footage yourself, not just take our word for it.
What warranty comes with cctv drain inspection?
The survey itself is diagnostic, not a repair, so the warranty sits with whatever fix follows it. Any clearing or repair we then carry out is covered by our lifetime labour warranty.
