If a blockage keeps returning, water is backing up, or you suspect damage underground, a CCTV drain inspection can show what is happening inside the pipe.
At Platinum Plumbers, we use advanced drain cameras to investigate sewer and stormwater problems across the Northern Beaches & North Shore. We explain what the footage shows and whether the drain needs clearing, monitoring or repair.
Call 0421 637 410 or request a drain inspection.
A camera inspection can help when:
The camera shows the accessible interior of the pipe. If a blockage prevents it from passing through, the drain may need clearing before we can inspect farther along the line.
We ask which fixtures or drains are affected, when it happens and whether the issue has occurred before.
A camera is fed into the drain to look for obstructions, root intrusion, damage and other visible defects. What we can inspect depends on access and the pipe’s condition.
We show or describe the relevant footage and recommend the next step. That may be blocked drain clearing, further investigation or a repair such as pipe relining where suitable.
CCTV footage may reveal tree roots, grease or debris build-up, cracked pipes, displaced joints and sections that have collapsed. It helps us base our recommendation on the visible condition of the drain.
A camera inspection is a diagnostic step. It does not clear a blockage or repair a damaged pipe by itself.
Our customer in Balgowlah noticed soggy patches in their yard, especially after it rained. A CCTV drain camera inspeciation found a severely cracked and damaged stormwater pipe.

Usually the camera enters through an existing suitable access point. If access is inadequate, we will explain what is needed before proceeding.
Yes, where the camera can reach the affected section. It can show roots entering the pipe and help identify where further work is needed.
Tell us when booking if the drain is blocked. We can discuss the inspection and clearing work needed for your situation; the scope and timing depend on access and availability.
