Camera Inspections & Private Drainage Locates
Find the real reason the drain keeps failing — before you pay to dig.
CCTV storm and sewer camera inspections, private drainage tracing and locate support for catch basin and storm drain issues.
What camera inspection and locating includes
Camera inspection and locating turn an unknown underground drainage problem into a documented next step, so repair planning is based on what is actually happening in the pipe.
- ✓CCTV push camera run through storm lines, catch basin outlets and sewer laterals
- ✓Video record of pipe interior — blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offsets and bellies documented
- ✓Private storm and sewer line tracing to establish routing and approximate depth where feasible
- ✓Locate reference points provided to support excavation or repair contractor planning
Camera found a structural problem? Here is what comes next.
If the inspection identifies a collapsed section, failed outlet or damaged riser, the next step is repair planning — not more cleaning. We coordinate drainage repair support including excavation referral and maintenance recommendations so the problem is resolved rather than temporarily cleared.
Cleaned but still backing up?
When the same drain keeps failing, document the cause.
Camera inspection is most useful after cleaning or jetting restores visibility in the line. Use the cleaned-but-still-backing-up guide to understand when standing water, slow drains or repeat flooding point to roots, offset joints, pipe bellies or repair planning instead of another cleanout.

Questions before booking this service.
What size or type of pipe can you run a camera through?
Most standard storm and sewer laterals from 100mm (4-inch) up through larger commercial mains can be inspected with a push camera. Very small-diameter weeping tile or pipes with no accessible cleanout may limit camera access. We confirm feasibility based on your site layout before dispatch.
Do you provide a video recording or written report after the inspection?
Inspection findings are documented and a summary of what was observed — blockage location, pipe condition, any structural concerns — is provided after the job. If you need the footage for a strata council, insurance claim or repair contractor, let us know when you book.
Can a camera inspection confirm whether a storm line connects to the city system or a private outlet?
Camera inspection combined with line tracing can help establish routing and identify where a private line terminates. This is useful before excavation or when a property manager needs to determine maintenance responsibility. We provide what the camera and tracing reveal — formal engineering surveys are outside our scope.
