CCTV camera check during scheduled drain maintenance
The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Recurring tree root blockages

Where relining isn't on the cards yet, scheduled root cutting keeps a known problem drain flowing on your timetable — not at midnight.

Older sewer and stormwater lines

Ageing pipes under established homes benefit from periodic jetting and a camera check before small faults become overflows.

Body corporate and commercial sites

Shared stacks, common drains and grease-heavy lines fail expensively; planned maintenance is far cheaper than emergency shutdowns.

Stormwater with a flooding history

Properties that have flooded before should have pits and lines cleared each autumn, before winter tests them.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

Preventative drain maintenance is ideal for properties with recurring blockages, tree root intrusion, older sewer lines, stormwater issues, body corporate sites and commercial premises. We schedule high-pressure drain cleaning and CCTV inspections at sensible intervals — annually for most, more often for known root drains and commercial kitchens.

It suits property managers, body corporates, commercial properties, older homes, drains with recurring root blockages and stormwater systems with a flooding history. You get the same crew who knows your drains, a record of each visit, and problems flagged while they're still small and cheap.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

Each maintenance visit can include a CCTV pass on known trouble spots, so deterioration is tracked over time and repairs are planned rather than forced on you by an overflow.

Questions

Preventative Drain Maintenance — FAQs

Who actually needs scheduled maintenance?
Anyone whose drains have a history: recurring roots, an older clay sewer, past flooding, a rental portfolio, a body corporate or a commercial kitchen. A one-off home with healthy drains doesn't — and we'll say so.
How often should it be done?
Most maintenance drains suit an annual jet and check. Aggressive root drains may need six-monthly; commercial grease lines often quarterly. We'll recommend an interval based on what the camera shows.
Does it really save money?
A scheduled visit costs a fraction of an emergency overflow — especially for body corporates and businesses where a blocked stack means damage, downtime and unhappy people.
Do you provide records?
Yes — dates, what was found, footage where relevant. Useful for owners' corporations, landlords and anyone who wants their drainage history on file.
