See the fault before you pay to fix it
Guesswork is the most expensive tool in plumbing. When a drain keeps blocking or a sewer line keeps backing up, the difference between clearing the symptom and fixing the cause is knowing precisely what is happening underground, and a camera shows you exactly that.
- A century of earthenware The streets subdivided from 1915 still run original clay and earthenware drainage, sound when laid but now cracked at the joints by ground movement and a hundred years of mature canopy pressing roots into every gap.
- Ridge gravity, deep faults Blocks fall away from the Pacific Highway ridge towards sandstone gullies, so waste runs long distances before anything surfaces, and the fault usually sits deep in a run no guesswork will locate.
- Mixed eras, mixed materials Interwar cottages, mid-century brick veneer and newer townhouses near the railway station all drain differently, and a camera tells you which pipework generation you are actually dealing with.
Our CCTV drain inspection services
Every inspection below comes with recorded footage, an honest explanation of what the camera found, and a fixed written price for any repair it points to.
Pre-purchase drain surveys
Buying into an established suburb means inheriting its pipes, so we camera-scan the sewer and stormwater lines before settlement, recording every crack, root mass or collapsed section, and hand you footage that supports a renegotiation or gives genuine peace of mind.
Root intrusion diagnosis
Mature street plantings and the Ku-ring-gai Chase bushland edge push fine roots into ageing clay joints, and our camera pinpoints the exact entry point and depth, so root cutting or pipe relining targets the real fault instead of the whole line.
Recurring blockage investigations
A drain that blocks every few months has a structural reason, and repeated clearing without diagnosis is money downhill. We trace the full run on camera, identify the crack, offset joint or sag causing the pattern, then quote a permanent fix.
Stormwater line camera checks
Post-repair verification footage
After jetting, root cutting or relining, we run the camera through again and record the result, so you see the cleared, repaired line with your own eyes and keep the footage as proof the job was done properly.
What the camera typically uncovers here
The same handful of faults explain most drainage grief in the established streets, and every one of them shows clearly on screen.
The joint that keeps catching
Roots enter clay pipes at the joints, and once a fine root mat establishes it catches everything flowing past until the line blocks again. The camera shows the exact joint involved, which turns an endless clearing cycle into a single targeted relining or repair decision.
The section that has quietly collapsed
Ground movement on sloping sandstone blocks can drop a pipe segment until it holds water and solids, and from the surface everything seems fine until it suddenly is not. Camera footage distinguishes a clearable blockage from a collapsed run before you commit to either.
The line running at the wrong grade
Older drains laid across sloping ground sometimes develop low spots where solids settle out, and a camera survey maps the fall along the whole run, showing whether the fix is a clean, a patch or a properly regraded section of line.
Why a camera inspection pays for itself
Digging up the wrong section of pipe, or clearing a drain without finding the cause, costs far more than seeing the problem first.
- You fix the real fault Footage removes the guesswork, so excavation, relining or repair targets the exact failed section instead of the most convenient place to dig.
- You avoid repeat call outs A diagnosed drain stays fixed, because the crack, root entry or sag that caused the blockage gets addressed rather than cleared around.
- You hold the evidence Recorded footage supports insurance claims, purchase negotiations and council discussions, and gives you a baseline for the pipework's future condition.
How it works
How our inspection process works
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Camera through the line
We feed the inspection head in through an existing access point, trace the full run while narrating what the head passes, and mark the surface position of any fault with sonde locating gear, so you watch the diagnosis happen in real time rather than hearing about it secondhand.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Asquith
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Asquith works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
That same local knowledge is why our diagnosis starts with the property's era, not just the symptom, and it is the approach behind every drainage service we offer.
Where we work
Areas we service
As well as the suburb itself, our camera inspection crews work across North Wahroonga, Hornsby, Mount Colah, Waitara and North Turramurra, bringing the same recorded-diagnosis approach to every treed ridge block and mid-century street in the Hornsby Shire corner we call home.
Good questions, straight answers
Questions Asquith locals ask about drain cameras
How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?
Most residential camera inspections take between forty-five minutes and two hours depending on line length, access points and how far the camera needs to travel through your drainage system.
What does a drain camera actually find?
The camera reveals cracked or collapsed pipe sections, root intrusion at joints, displaced clay segments, silt build-up, foreign objects and the exact depth and position of any fault worth repairing.
Do I need a drain inspection before buying a house?
Yes, particularly for homes built before the 1970s, because original clay and earthenware lines often hide root intrusion or cracks that only a camera survey will uncover before settlement.
Will the camera damage my pipes?
No, the inspection head is small, smooth and pushed or crawled through the line gently, so the process is completely non-invasive and causes no damage to even fragile old pipework.
Can you inspect pipes under driveways or gardens?
Yes, the camera travels beneath concrete, paving, garden beds and lawns without any digging, and sonde locating equipment marks the exact position and depth of faults on the surface above.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
The call out is $0 and you receive a fixed written price before any work begins, so you approve the cost of the inspection before the camera goes anywhere near a drain.
