A real person answers, day or night
When a drain keeps blocking, it is time to stop guessing and look inside
Ring (02) 9072 0592, describe the trouble, and a licensed plumber sends a camera the length of the line to show you the real state of the drain before a cent goes on digging.
Finding a pipe in loose Botany fill
Sand gives up no clues
Depth changes the whole job
We read the access first
What a CCTV inspection includes
A drain survey does far more than point a lens down a hole, and each part below builds the full picture of what is happening underground:
Camera survey
Pushed through an access point on a flexible rod, the camera travels the full length of the line while its screen shows every crack, root and offset joint, so the exact fault is seen rather than guessed from the surface.
Sonde locating
A transmitter in the camera head lets us trace the pipe's exact path and log its depth from above, which matters most in loose Botany fill where a buried line leaves no surface clue to where it truly runs underground.
Recurring blockage checks
When a drain keeps blocking after every clear, only a camera reveals whether a sagging belly, a cracked collar or a root nest is the cause, so the repair targets the real fault instead of the same clear repeated endlessly.
Pre-purchase surveys
Buyers of older estate cottages or units get the drains checked before they sign, because a camera run turns a hidden clay sewer into a known quantity and puts any looming repair on the table while the price is open.
What the footage settles
Proof, not opinion
A record for the committee
Workshops and shopfronts
What a survey commonly turns up
Cracked and offset joints
The most common find on the estate is a clay joint that has cracked or stepped out of line in the sand, letting roots in and catching waste, and the footage shows exactly which collar needs sealing or replacing entirely.
Sagging pipe bellies
A length of pipe that has dipped into a belly in the soft ground holds water and waste in the low spot, and only a camera reveals the sag, since it never shows on the surface until the drain blocks.
Hidden root intrusion
Roots often enter a joint long before they block it, so a survey can catch a fine intrusion early, letting a cut and reline happen on your schedule rather than as a costly emergency when the line finally chokes shut.
Why seeing the pipe beats guessing
Digging on a hunch is how drainage bills balloon, so proving what is wrong and where before a shovel breaks ground is a camera's biggest saving:
You dig once, in the right place
Repairs match the real fault
A record you can keep
How it works
How a camera inspection runs, 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
Survey and locate
With the line cleared enough to see, we run the camera end to end, note the position and depth of every fault onto the ground overhead, and hand you the footage with a plain explanation of what it all means.

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 Hillsdale
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 Hillsdale 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 survey lines through Eastgardens and Pagewood, down to Matraville, out to Banksmeadow and across toward Maroubra.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain camera questions locals ask
Why is a camera worth it on an older estate property?
Because these homes still run their original clay lines, and only vision from inside the pipe shows whether a joint has cracked, sagged or filled with roots in the loose sand.
Can you tell how deep a drain is buried?
Yes, a signal broadcast from inside the pipe lets us plot its route and depth from ground level, which decides whether a later repair is a shallow dig or a big one.
Should I get the drains inspected before buying a unit or cottage?
It is well worth it, since a survey turns an unknown clay sewer into a documented one and brings any looming repair into view while you can still negotiate on price.
What does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
You are quoted one written price for the survey up front, and if it uncovers a fault the repair is priced separately so nothing is ever added without your say-so.
Why does my drain keep blocking even after it is cleared?
A clear treats the symptom, whereas a camera finds the cause, usually a bellied section or a broken collar that keeps catching waste until that stretch is repaired.
Do I get to keep the footage?
Yes, the recording and a plain report are yours to keep for an insurer, a body-corporate file or a later sale, which a routine clear never hands you.
