Why a camera beats a guess

Digging up a yard or opening a wall to find a drain problem is expensive and often wrong the first time. Without seeing inside the pipe, a repair plan is a guess dressed up as a quote.

Signs to watch for

When a plunger won't help

A blocked drain that keeps coming back, water pooling in one spot of the yard, or a bad smell near a manhole all point to a problem further down the line than a plunger or auger can diagnose. Guessing at the cause risks paying for a repair that does not fix it.

What the camera finds

The cause, on screen

Plumbed Right's CCTV footage identifies tree root intrusion, cracked pipe, and pipe misalignment directly, so the repair plan matches what's actually broken.

How the inspection works

What happens on the day, and what you get afterwards.

  1. Technician in a black Plumbed Right hoodie running the CCTV camera at a side-yard pit

    Camera in

    A technician feeds a high-resolution push camera into the drain through an existing access point (a cleanout, inspection chamber, or gully) with no excavation needed.

  2. CCTV monitor on gravel with the camera cable running into the drain

    Live footage

    The camera streams real-time footage back to a monitor on-site, so you can see the blockage, crack, or root intrusion as it is found rather than waiting for a written summary.

  3. Three techs in hi-vis inside a relining rig trailer

    The right fix

    Once the cause is confirmed, we recommend the fix that matches it: pipe relining for cracked or root-damaged sections, or a targeted drain repair for a localised issue. If the pipe itself is sound and the blockage is grease or debris, hydro jetting clears it without further work.

Pricing

What a CCTV inspection
costs

A CCTV drain camera inspection covers the camera run and a clear explanation of what the footage shows, with no call-out fee to quote. If the inspection leads straight into a repair or jetting job on the same visit, we quote that work separately before starting, so the inspection cost and repair cost are never bundled into one surprise number.

Typical Perth ranges, not a fixed price list. We confirm your exact price on site, before any work starts.

What changes the price

  1. Type of blockage

    Grease and hair clear fast with a hydro jet. Roots or solids need cutting equipment first.

  2. Where it sits

    A pipe under a slab, driveway or garden bed adds access time.

  3. Pipe age and material

    Old clay or rusted galvanised pipe can need extra prep before the repair.

  4. Repair method

    Relining avoids digging. A full dig-and-replace adds excavation and reinstatement.

Why Plumbed Right

Who a camera
inspection helps

For homeowners and commercial properties across Perth.

  1. Homeowners

    A camera inspection stops repeat callouts for the same blockage by finding what's actually causing it, often a root or a cracked join, not new debris. It also gives you a clear before and after record if you're selling the property or lodging an insurance claim.

  2. Commercial properties

    Blocked drains that shut down a kitchen, bathroom, or loading area cost more in downtime than in repair. A camera inspection gets a diagnosis on record fast, which also supports the drainage compliance checks many commercial leases and health inspections require.

    Questions

    CCTV inspection
    questions

    Still unsure? Call and talk to our team, not a call centre.

    The inspection

    What is a CCTV drain camera inspection?

    A technician feeds a small, high-resolution camera on a flexible cable into your drain through an existing access point. The camera streams real-time footage so we can see blockages, cracks, or root intrusion without digging.

    Is a CCTV drain inspection invasive?

    No. The camera goes in through an existing cleanout, inspection chamber, or gully. There is no digging or excavation required to complete the inspection itself.

    How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?

    We'll give you a time estimate once we see the access points.

    Can a CCTV inspection find every type of drain problem?

    It reliably identifies blockages, root intrusion, cracked pipe, and misaligned joints. In rare cases, such as a fully collapsed section blocking the camera's path, further diagnostic steps are needed.

    Cost

    How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost in Perth?

    We tell you the inspection price before we start, and there's no call-out fee to quote. If the footage shows a repair is needed, that is quoted separately.

    After the inspection

    Should I get a CCTV inspection even if my drain is not blocked right now?

    Yes, if the same drain has blocked more than once before, or if you're buying a property and want a record of the drainage system's condition. Catching a small crack on camera is cheaper than waiting for it to fail.

    What happens after the inspection if there is a problem?

    We recommend the fix that matches what the footage shows: pipe relining for damaged sections, a targeted repair for a localised issue, or hydro jetting if the pipe itself is sound. You'll see the footage before agreeing to any of it.
