A blocked drain is one problem — but knowing why it keeps happening is the real battle. Hidden pipe damage, tree roots, collapsed sections, foreign objects and years of built-up debris all create recurring drain issues that can’t be solved by plungers or guesswork.

Jayco Plumbing provides professional CCTV drain inspections across Greater Sydney, giving you a clear, accurate and high-definition view inside your pipes. No digging. No assumptions. No unnecessary repairs.

A CCTV inspection is the only way to see the true condition of your drains — and fix problems permanently.

When You Need a CCTV Drain Inspection

1. Drains Blocking Repeatedly

If a drain clogs more than once, there’s an underlying issue.

2. You Suspect Tree Roots

A CCTV inspection confirms root intrusion and entry points.

3. Foul Smells from Drains

Often caused by cracked pipes or trapped waste.

4. Slow Drainage Across Multiple Fixtures

A sign of deeper sewer or stormwater issues.

5. Before Buying a Property

Essential to avoid hidden plumbing nightmares.

6. After Heavy Storms

To check for stormwater damage or blockage.

7. Before Pipe Relining or Repairs

Camera inspection ensures the repair is done correctly.

8. When You Notice Wet Patches Outdoors

A sign of an underground leak or damaged sewer.

CCTV inspection prevents guesswork and saves money long-term.

How Our CCTV Drain Camera Works

1.

Initial Assessment

We identify the problem area and choose the correct access point.

2.

Jet Blast (If Needed)

For blocked lines, we first clear the pipe using:

  • High-pressure jet blasting
  • Root removal tools
  • Grease-cutting nozzles
  • This gives the camera a clear path
3.

Insert High-Definition Camera

We feed the camera into your pipe, displaying a clear, live image:

  • On our monitor
  • With full video recording
  • With distance measurement
4.

Locate the Exact Problem

We identify:

  • Type of issue
  • Exact location (distance metered)
  • Severity level
  • Recommended repair
5.

Provide Permanent Solutions

Based on the footage, we determine and explain:

  • Pipe relining
  • Section repairs
  • Excavation replacement
  • Ongoing maintenance
  • Root barriers
  • Jet blasting schedule
6.

Full Reporting

If required, we can provide:

  • Digital video file
  • Written report
  • Photos
  • Quotation for repairs
  • This is ideal for insurance, strata or property buyers.

What Our Cameras Can Access

Our cameras enter:

  • Kitchen drains
  • Shower drains
  • Bathroom drains
  • Laundry drains
  • Sewer lines
  • Stormwater lines
  • Boundary traps
