Drain camera inspection

CCTV Drain Inspection Auckland

A camera inspection can help locate roots, broken pipes, silt build-up, poor joins, and collapsed sections when a stormwater drain keeps blocking or cannot be cleared confidently.

When CCTV inspection makes sense

Not every blockage needs a camera, but CCTV is useful when the same stormwater line blocks again, when roots are likely, when there is a suspected collapse, or when you need evidence before repair, excavation, or a property decision.

  • Recurring stormwater blockages after heavy rain.
  • Suspected tree root entry or cracked clay pipes.
  • Driveway flooding where the blockage location is unclear.
  • Before quoting repair work on a hidden stormwater line.

What the inspection can reveal

A drain camera may show silt, roots, pipe displacement, broken sections, squashed pipe, poor gradient, or foreign objects. That makes it easier to decide whether jetting, cleaning, repair, or replacement is the right next step.

FAQ

CCTV inspection FAQ.

Will CCTV unblock the drain?

No. CCTV diagnoses the pipe condition. Clearing may still need jetting, cleaning, or repair.

When is a camera worth it?

It is useful for recurring blockages, suspected roots, broken pipes, collapsed sections, or repair planning.

Can CCTV find the exact blockage?

Often it can identify the location and type of obstruction, though access and pipe condition affect what can be seen.
