The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Recurring blockages

A camera shows why a drain keeps blocking — roots, a cracked pipe, a sag holding water, or a collapsed section.

Unexplained smells or damp

Sewer odours and soggy patches in the garden often trace back to a broken pipe the camera finds in minutes.

Before renovations or landscaping

Know the condition and exact location of your drains before you build a deck, pour concrete or plant over them.

Buying a property

A pre-purchase drain inspection can save you from inheriting a five-figure drainage problem.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

We feed a high-resolution camera through the line, inspecting the pipe's condition, joints and falls as we go. A locator above ground pinpoints the exact position and depth of any fault, so if repairs are needed, we dig once — in the right spot.

You get straight answers on the spot, and where you need it — for insurance, a landlord, a body corporate or a property purchase — a written CCTV report with footage and recommendations you can act on.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

We recommend a camera inspection whenever a blockage recurs, after clearing tree roots, when multiple fixtures play up, before buying, and before any excavation or major landscaping over drain runs.

Questions

CCTV Drain Inspections — FAQs

What does a CCTV drain inspection show?
The pipe's internal condition — cracks, root intrusion, sags and misaligned joints — plus the location and depth of any fault via a locator. You see the footage in real time.
Do I get a written report?
Yes, when you need one. We provide written CCTV inspection reports with findings, footage and recommendations — commonly used for pre-purchase checks, insurance and body corporate decisions.
Should I get a CCTV inspection before clearing the drain?
Usually the drain is cleared first so the camera can actually see the pipe. If the blockage is recurring, inspecting straight after clearing is the ideal time.
How long does an inspection take?
Most residential inspections take under an hour, including locating faults from above ground.
