CCTV Drain Inspections In Brisbane
If a blocked drain keeps coming back, simply clearing it again might not solve the real problem.
Blast Plumbing & Roofing provides professional CCTV drain inspections across Brisbane, using specialised drain camera equipment to inspect inside your pipes and identify what is causing the issue.
From tree root intrusion and stubborn blockages to damaged or deteriorating pipework, a CCTV drain inspection allows us to see what’s happening underground without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can recommend the right solution to get your drainage system working properly again.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
CCTV drain inspection uses a specialised waterproof camera that is fed through your drainage system.
The camera provides a live view of the inside of the pipe, allowing us to inspect areas that can't otherwise be seen.
CCTV drain inspections can help identify:
Tree roots entering drainage pipes
Cracked or damaged pipes
Collapsed sections of pipework
Grease and waste build-up
Foreign objects
Pipe movement or misalignment
Stubborn blockages
Recurring drainage problems
Stormwater drainage issues
Rather than repeatedly clearing a drain and hoping the problem doesn't return, we can investigate what's actually causing it.
Why Does My Drain Keep Blocking?
If you've already had a blocked drain cleared and the same problem keeps coming back, there may be an underlying issue inside the pipe.
A recurring blockage can be caused by problems such as tree roots, damaged pipework, accumulated debris or an obstruction further along the drainage system.
Clearing the immediate blockage may restore the flow temporarily, but if the cause remains, there's a good chance you'll end up dealing with the same problem again.
That's where a CCTV drain camera inspection can help.
By inspecting inside the drain, we can identify where the problem is located and get a much clearer understanding of why it keeps happening.
Signs You May Need A CCTV Drain Inspection
-
If you're repeatedly clearing the same toilet, sink or drain, there may be an underlying problem that needs to be identified.
-
When several fixtures are draining slowly or blocking at the same time, the issue may be located further along the drainage system.
-
Slow drainage can indicate a partial blockage or restriction that is reducing the amount of water able to pass through the pipe.
-
Gurgling noises from toilets, sinks or drains can be a sign that water and air aren't moving through the drainage system as they should.
-
Persistent odours can sometimes indicate trapped waste, build-up or another drainage problem.
-
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter pipes through cracks, joints and damaged sections of drainage.
CCTV Drain Inspections & High Pressure Drain Jetting
Finding the blockage is one part of solving the problem. The next step is getting it cleared.
Blast Plumbing & Roofing can combine CCTV drain inspections with high-pressure drain jetting where appropriate.
Our commercial high-pressure water jetter is designed to clear stubborn material from inside drainage pipes, including:
Grease and grime
Sludge
Built-up waste
Dirt and debris
Some tree root intrusion
Other stubborn obstructions
The drain camera can help us locate the problem before clearing it and inspect the pipe afterwards where required.
This combination means we aren't blindly trying to clear a blockage. We can see what's happening inside the drainage system and determine the most appropriate way forward.
Finding Tree Roots In Drains
Tree roots are a common cause of recurring drainage problems.
Roots can enter through small cracks, damaged joints or other openings in underground pipes. Once inside, they can continue growing and catch waste and debris as it passes through the drain.
Over time, this can significantly restrict water flow or cause the drain to block completely.
A CCTV drain inspection can help identify whether tree roots are present, where they're entering and whether there appears to be damage to the surrounding pipework.
Depending on what we find, high-pressure drain jetting may be used to clear the obstruction before we recommend any further work that may be required.
CCTV Inspections For Blocked Stormwater Drains
CCTV drain cameras can also be useful when investigating problems with stormwater drainage.
Brisbane can experience periods of extremely heavy rainfall, making properly functioning stormwater drains particularly important.
If you've noticed:
Stormwater drains backing up
Water pooling around the property
Slow-moving stormwater
Overflowing drains during rain
Recurring stormwater blockages
we can investigate the drainage system to help locate the cause.
Identifying the problem before the next major downpour can help reduce the risk of water ending up where it shouldn't.
Drain Inspections Before Buying A Property
A standard building inspection doesn't necessarily tell you what's happening inside underground drainage pipes.
If you are concerned about the drainage system at a property, a CCTV inspection can provide additional information about accessible pipework and identify visible problems such as damage, blockages or tree root intrusion.
This can be particularly useful for older properties or homes surrounded by established trees.
