When a drain blocks repeatedly, guessing isn’t enough. You need a clear view of what’s really happening underground. That’s where CCTV drain inspections come in. At Mr Drains, we use high-definition drain cameras to locate the exact cause of blockages—saving you time, money, and unnecessary excavation.

With over 25 years of drainage experience, we know that most stubborn blockages hide deeper issues: tree roots, broken pipes, cracked joints, or collapsed stormwater lines. A CCTV drainage survey reveals everything.

What Is a CCTV Drain Inspection?

A CCTV drain inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic method where a waterproof camera is fed into your drainage system. This allows us to see the internal condition of the pipe in real time.

Why is it important?
Because drains don’t fail without a reason. If you’ve cleared a blockage but it keeps returning, something deeper is wrong—and digging without evidence is expensive and unnecessary.

What Problems Can a CCTV Drain Camera Detect?

A professional drainage camera inspection can uncover:

Tree root intrusion

Cracked ...
... or broken pipes

Collapsed sections of drain

Blocked stormwater systems

Incorrect pipe gradients

Foreign objects inside pipes

Misaligned or sagging pipes

Damage caused by ground movement or age

These issues often can’t be identified with standard tools. Only a camera can provide absolute clarity.

Do You Really Need a CCTV Inspection?

Ask yourself:

Do your drains block more than once a year?

Does water pool around your property during rain?

Do you hear gurgling noises from sinks or outdoor pits?

Have plumbers cleared the drain before, but the issue keeps coming back?

Are you buying or renovating a property and want to check the drainage health?

If you answered yes to any of these, a CCTV survey can save you thousands in unnecessary repairs.
