A real person answers, day or night
Stop guessing at what is wrong under the ground
A drain fault hides beneath slabs and gardens where no one can see it, so digging blind to find it is slow and costly. A camera turns the hidden into the obvious, so you fix the real fault instead of a guess, and you can book one on (02) 9072 0592.
Why a camera earns its keep on these older drains
The network is old and out of sight. Under the older established blocks the drains are jointed clay laid generations ago, and the only honest way to know a given line's condition is to look inside it rather than guess.
Faults cluster where you cannot reach. Root entries and cracked joints sit deep beneath established lawns and paths, so a camera and locator find the exact spot and depth before a single sod is turned.
Renovation ties new to old. The steady updating of period homes joins fresh bathrooms onto tired original drains, and footage taken first shows whether that old line can carry the new load or needs sorting before the tiles go down.

CCTV inspection services we provide
A camera is only as useful as what you do with what it finds, so every inspection through our drainage service is read on the spot and turned into a clear plan rather than a mystery clip:
Fault location
Recurring blockages get filmed and marked to an exact distance along the pipe from an opening, so instead of clearing the same spot forever you learn precisely where the offset joint or root entry sits and can aim one lasting repair at it.
Pre-purchase checks
Buyers of older homes get the drains filmed before they commit, so a period property near the railway station is bought knowing whether the underground lines are sound or hiding a repair bill that no building report ever opens up.
Insurance footage
Damage claims and disputes get a dated, recorded inspection showing the fault and its position on screen, giving an insurer or the council the on-screen evidence they ask for rather than a description they can quietly wave away.
Apartment stack surveys
Shared stacks and common lines in the newer unit blocks get surveyed level by level, so a blockage affecting several homes is traced to the exact length and floor without pulling apart every bathroom on the riser to find it.

Why seeing the fault first matters
Filming before you dig or quote changes the whole job, because a decision made on evidence costs far less than one made on a hunch:
- You pay to fix the cause, not the symptom A camera shows whether roots, grease or a broken joint is behind a blockage, so the repair targets the real reason and the drain stops failing instead of buying a few quiet months.
- No exploratory digging Because the fault is located and measured before a spade moves, the excavation, if one is even needed, is small and aimed rather than a hopeful trench across the whole yard.
- The quote is honest A price built on footage of the actual defect is a price that holds, with no nasty discovery halfway through and no reason to pad it against the unknown.
How it works
How a CCTV inspection works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 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
Film and read it
We feed the camera through an access point and run the whole length on the monitor with you watching, marking the distance and depth of anything we find, then talk you plainly through what it means and what each option would involve.
- 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 Mortdale
A camera in the wrong hands just films a problem, so what matters is who reads it and what they do next:
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 Mortdale 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
We film and diagnose drains across Allawah, Oatley, Penshurst, Hurstville and Peakhurst along with our home streets, and since so much of the district hides the same ageing clay beneath its gardens, a camera earns its keep on nearly every older block it visits.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV drain questions Mortdale locals ask
What does a drain camera actually show you?
The footage reveals the inside wall of the pipe on a screen, so a root entry, a cracked joint, a belly or a collapse appears clearly along with the distance back to the access point.
Do I need an inspection before buying an older home?
It is well worth it, since a pre-purchase camera run tells you whether the drains under a period house are sound clay or a costly repair waiting quietly out of sight below the garden.
Can a camera find a drain under the slab or garden?
Yes, the camera travels the pipe from an existing opening and a locator traces the head above ground, pinpointing the fault beneath a slab, driveway or lawn without lifting anything to look.
Will the footage back a council or insurance claim?
Often yes, because a recorded inspection gives a dated, on-screen record of where the defect lies, which is precisely the proof a claim or a council assessor tends to ask for.
Why bother filming a drain that is already clear?
Because a drain that keeps blocking always has an underlying cause, and identifying the roots, grease or fractured pipe responsible is what lets us cure the reason rather than the symptom.
Does the camera work on apartment and shared drains?
Yes, filming a shared stack or common line shows exactly which length and which level a fault sits on, so one flat's blockage is traced without disturbing every home on the riser.
