Got a Drain That Just Won't Behave?

Call Carina Plumbing & Drains for a Professional CCTV Drain Inspection

If your sink is gurgling, your toilet keeps backing up, or a damp patch keeps appearing on the lawn for no obvious reason, a drain camera inspection is usually the fastest way to find out why. We push a durable, waterproof camera through your pipes to locate blockages, root damage, cracked joints and collapsed sections, giving you a clear video record rather than a guess. Our team services homes and businesses throughout Carina, Camp Hill, Carindale and the wider Brisbane region, arriving with everything needed to diagnose and, where possible, resolve the issue on the spot.

There's no need to keep living with a slow, smelly or recurring blocked drain. Ring Carina Plumbing & Drains and we'll talk you through what's involved, book a time that suits you, and send an experienced plumber with camera equipment ready to get to the bottom of the problem. Catching an issue early through a CCTV drain inspection can save you from a costly emergency pipe repair down the track, so it pays to act as soon as something doesn't seem right.

Wondering Why Your Drains Keep Playing Up?

Common Signs You Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Older Brisbane suburbs like Carina often still have their original clay or earthenware drain pipes running beneath the yard, and decades of tree growth, ground movement and general wear can take a toll on them. If your drains are slow to clear, gurgle after rain, or block again shortly after being cleared, there's a good chance something structural is happening below the surface that a plunger or chemical cleaner simply won't fix.

Left unchecked, small cracks and root intrusions can turn into collapsed pipe sections, sewage overflows or soggy, sinking ground near the house. A stormwater camera inspection can also reveal why a yard floods during heavy rain, while an under-slab pipe inspection can explain a musty smell or unexplained damp patch inside the home. Catching these issues early with a proper pipe inspection camera means smaller, more affordable repairs instead of a surprise excavation later on.

    Our Solution

    How Carina Plumbing & Drains Gets to the Bottom of Your Drain Problems

    Rather than guessing at the cause of a blockage, Carina Plumbing & Drains sends a high-definition drain camera directly into your pipework to record exactly what's going on beneath the surface. This footage lets us pinpoint the precise location and cause of the fault, so any clearing, repair or pipe relining work that follows is targeted rather than exploratory.

    • Blocked drain CCTV diagnosis to locate the exact chainage of a blockage
    • Sewer main camera survey from the house drain through to the council connection
    • Drain locating and mapping using sonde technology before excavation or relining
    • Pre-purchase drain inspection reports for buyers and property managers
    • Post-clean verification CCTV to confirm jetting or root cutting has fully cleared the line

    Every Carina inspection comes with clear footage and a written summary of our findings, so you understand exactly what's happening underground and what your options are. From there, we can recommend anything from a simple clean through to trenchless pipe restoration or a full sewer line repair, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      We know a CCTV drain inspection might be a new experience for many Carina home and business owners, so we've answered some of the questions we hear most often. If you can't find what you're looking for below, our team is always happy to help over the phone.

      A licensed plumber feeds a waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod through your drain, sending a live video feed back to a screen on the surface. This lets us see the interior condition of the pipe in real time, spotting blockages, cracks, root intrusion or misaligned joints as the camera travels along the line. It's a non-invasive way to understand what's happening underground without breaking into concrete or digging up the garden.
      Recurring blockages, gurgling drains, slow-draining sinks, bad odours near gully traps, or damp and sinking patches in the yard are all common signs worth investigating. If a drain keeps blocking shortly after being cleared, that's usually a sign of a structural issue further along the line rather than a simple build-up, and a camera inspection is the most reliable way to find the real cause.
      Yes, a pre-purchase drain inspection is a smart step for anyone buying an older home, particularly in established suburbs where clay pipes are common. The footage and accompanying report can flag root damage, cracked sections or ageing pipework that might not be obvious during a standard building inspection, giving buyers a clearer picture before they commit to a purchase.
      No. One of the main benefits of a CCTV drain inspection is that it's entirely non-invasive. The camera travels through existing access points such as inspection openings or gully traps, so there's no need to dig up paving, lawn or garden beds simply to see inside the pipe.
      Yes, we provide a written summary of our findings along with the recorded footage, which is useful for your own records, for builders, or for insurance purposes. This gives you something tangible to refer back to and, if further work is needed, a clear basis for deciding on the right repair method.
      If we find damage such as root intrusion, a cracked joint or a collapsed section, we'll explain what it means in plain terms and outline the options available, whether that's a targeted repair, pipe relining, or in some cases, replacement. You'll always have a clear understanding of the issue before deciding how you'd like to proceed.
