A real person answers, day or night
Guessing what is wrong underground is the expensive way to fix a drain
A drain problem you can see is one you can fix once. Ring (02) 9072 0592 and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will send a camera down the pipe before we reach for a shovel.
Why a camera earns its keep on these drains
The pipes under this suburb are unusually well suited to inspection, and worth inspecting:
Old clay hides everything. The earthenware laid under the interwar streets gives nothing away from the surface, so a slow drain on a block off Mona Street could be roots, a cracked collar or a dropped joint, and only vision tells them apart.
The lines sit shallow and reachable. These sewers sit at a shallow depth under the small tight blocks, so a camera travels the full length easily and reads every joint clearly, which makes an inspection quick and the picture complete.
The faults repeat by pattern. Root entry, opened joints and bellied runs recur across these streets, so a camera finds today's problem and flags the next one forming a few metres further along.

CCTV inspection services we run
An inspection is only worth doing if it answers a question, so each of these puts the camera to a clear purpose with the vision to prove it:
Fault-finding surveys
When a drain keeps blocking or draining slowly, we camera the whole line to pinpoint where the trouble is, reading the material, the joints and any root entry so the fix is aimed at the fault rather than the symptom.
Pre-purchase checks
Before you buy an older home here, we inspect its drains end to end and report the condition of the earthenware, any root intrusion and looming repairs, so you go in knowing what lies underground instead of inheriting a surprise.
Locate the fault
Using the sonde built into the camera head, we trace where the fault sits and how deep it lies, then flag it on the surface, so any excavation opens a single accurate pit rather than a trench across the yard.
Post-work proof
After a clear or a repair we send the camera back through the line and give you the recorded footage, so you see open pipe and moving water and know the job is done rather than merely reported as finished.
The homes, the gardens and the reserve edge
A second reason inspections pay here is what surrounds the pipes across the suburb:
Renovated homes hide old junctions
Gardens near the reserve feed roots
Shared stacks need mapping
When a camera inspection is the right call
A few situations almost always warrant eyes on the pipe over another clear in the dark:
The mystery repeat
When a drain chokes again and again with no obvious cause, the camera settles it by showing the fixed defect underground, so instead of clearing it on a loop you fix the one spot that keeps letting the blockage form.
Hidden leaks and smells
A damp patch, a sewer odour or a drain that gurgles without blocking points to a fault the camera can locate precisely, turning a vague problem into a pinpointed spot on the ground you can act on with real confidence.
An unknown pipe run
In an older home nobody really knows where the drains actually run underground, so a camera and sonde map the full layout and depth, which is invaluable before a renovation, a new structure or any digging near the existing lines.
Why a proper inspection matters
Seeing the pipe before you spend changes what you pay and what you get:
- Evidence beats guesswork every time A repair quoted from the footage is aimed at the actual fault, where a blind guess risks digging the wrong spot or clearing a line that needed replacing, and paying for both.
- The right method follows the picture Knowing whether a section wants jetting, a targeted repair or pipe relining comes straight from what the camera shows, so no pipe gets over-treated and none gets missed.
- A record protects you later Footage of your drains is proof of condition for a sale, a strata dispute or a warranty claim, and a located fault means the next tradesperson starts from certainty rather than from scratch.
How it works
How a CCTV inspection works, step by step
An unseen fault becomes a located, recorded answer across four steps:
- 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
Camera, locate, record
We feed the self-levelling camera through the line, read every joint and blockage on the screen with you, then drop the sonde to flag any fault on the surface and save the footage so the picture is yours to keep.
- 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 Allawah
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 Allawah 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 bring the drain camera and locator to Carlton, South Hurstville, Kogarah Bay, Carss Park and Beverley Park as readily as we do here, so a mystery drain or a pre-purchase check gets the same evidence and the same recorded footage wherever you are.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV drain inspection questions Allawah locals ask
What will a drain camera actually reveal?
The camera reveals the blockage, the pipe material, the state of every joint and any root entry, plus the exact spot and depth of a fault, so a repair quote rests on what is really there.
Why camera a drain instead of just clearing it?
Clearing removes the symptom while the camera finds the cause, and knowing whether roots, a cracked joint or a dropped section blocked the line is what stops you paying to clear the same drain twice.
Do I get to see the footage from the inspection?
Yes, you watch the run on the screen as we go and receive the recording afterward, so any repair we recommend is backed by vision you can keep rather than a description you have to trust.
Can you find exactly where a drain fault is before digging?
A locator riding in the camera head sends back a signal we track from above, fixing the fault within a few centimetres, so any needed dig opens one small pit instead of a hopeful trench.
Should I get a drain camera before buying an older home here?
It is well worth it, because the old clay beneath these streets hides its condition entirely, and a pre-purchase inspection tells you whether the drains are sound before the contract rather than after.
Is a camera inspection worth it before I renovate?
Very much, since a quick look at the drain beneath a planned bathroom or kitchen saves ripping up new tiling later to reach a fault the camera would have shown you beforehand.
