CCTV inspection of shared body corporate drainage
The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Shared lines cop shared load

Common sewer runs and stacks in units and apartments block faster than house drains — one resident's wipes become everyone's overflow.

Unknown or undocumented drainage

Many OCs don't actually know where their common drains run or what condition they're in until something fails.

Car park and basement stormwater

Grated drains, pits and pump wells silt up quietly, then flood the basement in the first serious storm.

Root intrusion on common property

Established landscaping sends roots into shared sewers — a recurring cost that maintenance planning brings under control.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

We give committees and managers what they actually need: fast response to resident blockages, clear communication about cause and responsibility (common property vs lot), and clear pricing before work begins so approvals are easy.

For ongoing care, we set up scheduled maintenance — jetting of known common lines, stormwater and car park drain clearing, and periodic CCTV condition checks — with written reports and footage the committee can file, budget from and act on.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

CCTV reports are the OC's best friend: they turn 'the drains keep blocking' into a documented condition assessment with locations, causes and prioritised recommendations for the maintenance plan.

Questions

Body Corporate Drain Maintenance — FAQs

Do you work with owners corporation managers?
Yes — we regularly deal with OC managers and committees: quotes for approval, clear scopes, and reports after the work.
How do you handle common vs private drain responsibility?
We tell you where the fault sits — on the shared line or a lot owner's branch — so costs land where they should and disputes are avoided.
Can you do after-hours work in residential buildings?
Yes, where residents' access or water shutdowns make daytime work difficult, we schedule around the building.
Can you set up an annual maintenance program?
That's the sweet spot — scheduled jetting and camera checks of the common drains, with records for the maintenance plan and AGM.
