CCTV Drain Inspection: See Inside Your Pipes Without Digging

CCTV Drain Inspection — The Smart Way to Diagnose Pipe Problems

If you have a recurring drain blockage, slow drainage, or suspect damage to your underground pipes, a CCTV drain inspection gives you answers without the guesswork—or the digging.

Jet Plus Plumbing uses professional-grade CCTV cameras to inspect your drainage system from the inside.

We’ll show you exactly what’s causing the problem, so you can make an informed decision about repairs.

What Is CCTV Drain Inspection?

CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) drain inspection involves threading a small, high-resolution camera through your drainage pipes. The camera sends live video to a monitor, allowing our plumbers to see:

• Blockages — Hair, grease, mineral buildup, foreign objects
• Tree root intrusions — Roots invading and cracking pipes
• Pipe damage — Cracks, breaks, corrosion, displacement
• Structural issues — Collapsed sections, misaligned joints
• Pipe age & material — Clay, PVC, cast iron, concrete

All without excavation. All without guesswork.

Why CCTV Inspection Saves You Money

Traditional Approach

• Assume the problem
• Dig up the yard (expensive)
• Repair without knowing what’s wrong
• Risk repairing the wrong section
• Pay extra for landscaping restoration

CCTV Approach

• See the problem first
• Know exactly where to repair
• Target solutions (no wasted work)
• Make informed decisions about repair methods
• Avoid unnecessary digging

Result: Lower repair costs, faster solutions, peace of mind.

When Do You Need CCTV Drain Inspection?

Our CCTV Inspection Process

Step 1: Initial Assessment

We discuss your drainage concerns and symptoms. We ask about tree species, age of your home, and any previous plumbing issues.

Step 2: Camera Insertion

We carefully insert the CCTV camera into the most accessible point (usually the cleanout or toilet). The camera is no wider than a garden hose.

Step 3: Real-Time Viewing

As the camera travels through your pipes, you see exactly what’s happening on our monitor. We narrate what we observe and note any issues.

Step 4: Report & Recommendations

We provide a detailed written report with video evidence, photos of problem areas, and recommendations for repair options.

Step 5: Targeted Solutions

Armed with accurate information, we discuss repair options:

• Professional unblocking
• Hydro jetting (for grease/mineral buildup)
• Pipe relining (for cracks/damage — no digging required)
• Traditional pipe replacement (when necessary)

Common Findings from CCTV Inspections

• Grease Blockage → Hydro jetting clears it completely
• Tree Roots → Relining prevents future intrusion
• Cracked Pipes → Relining avoids full replacement
• Displaced Joint → Relining seals and stabilises
• Mineral Buildup → Hydro jetting or professional cleaning
