Why Get A Drain Inspection?
Have you noticed lately that it now takes longer for your kitchen sink to empty, or water is gradually building up around your ankles when you’re in the shower? This could mean there is an underlying issue with your drains that needs to be addressed. A periodic drain inspection is a great resource for all homeowners in order to identify any problems. A CCTV drain camera inspection will provide your plumber with a clear picture of the issue and pinpoint its exact location. It’s a sure way of finding the right solution for your drainage troubles.
Common Issues Discovered From An Inspection
It’s always useful to have a CCTV drain inspection from time to time. That way, you can identify and take action on any potential serious drainage issues – such as those caused by blockages or damage – before they become too costly to repair. Here are the most common issues we pick up from a CCTV drain inspection:
- Tree root intrusions resulting from a small crack where an ample water source is escaping
- Cracks or breaks in the pipe leading to gradual blockages caused by food scraps, sewage, and other debris
- Crushed drains and pipe collapse possibly due to heavy machinery
- Debris build-up made up of items such as leaves, dirt, food scraps, soap, grease and fat
- Misaligned drain joins created by ground movement letting dirt in and obstructing the flow of sewage and stormwater.

Unblock the Drain
All Kind Gas and Plumbing use a technique called hydro jetting to unblock your drains from the outset. The use of high-pressure water clears the blockage and is powerful enough to cut through tree roots while flushing out sand, silt and even concrete debris.
Identify the Cause
This is the most important step in providing a complete solution to blocked drains and preventing the issue from occurring in the All Kind Gas and Plumbing employ the most up-to-date technology to view the pipes internally. A radio-frequency locator then identifies the exact location of the fault to enable efficient correction of the problem.
Repair the Issue
Depending on the cause, it may be simple enough to remove the blockage and prevent it with behaviour changes. However, if the pipe is extremely damaged or caused by something out of your control (such as tree roots or product failure), then it may be necessary for All Kind Gas and Plumbing to undertake works to rectify the problem identified.
Create Minimal Disruption
All Kind Gas and Plumbing are conscious of the disruption that drain issues can cause to your home or business. As such, we invest in the most advanced equipment to pinpoint the area of concern and dig up only the affected area. Our team will leave the area as good as new.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CCTV drain inspection and how does it work?
A CCTV drain inspection uses a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable to travel through your pipes. The camera transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing the plumber to see inside the drain without digging. This method identifies blockages, pipe damage, cracks, or tree root intrusion accurately. In Brisbane homes, a CCTV inspection helps diagnose issues quickly, saving time and reducing unnecessary disruption compared with traditional methods.
When should I book a CCTV inspection for my drains in Brisbane?
A CCTV drain inspection is recommended when you notice recurring blockages, slow drainage across multiple fixtures, foul odours, or unexplained flooding. It’s also useful before purchasing a property or after heavy storms that may have affected underground pipes. All Kind Gas & Plumbing can schedule an inspection to pinpoint the cause and provide a clear plan for repair or maintenance.
Can CCTV cameras find blockages deep in underground pipes?
Yes. CCTV cameras are designed to navigate through underground and hard-to-reach pipes, often detecting blockages far from the drain entry point. Whether caused by roots, debris, or collapsed pipe sections, the camera provides a precise view of the problem. This helps plumbers target the blockage directly and plan the most effective solution.
How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?
Most CCTV drain inspections in Brisbane take between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the length and complexity of the pipe network. Single line inspections are quicker, while larger or branching systems may take longer. All Kind Gas & Plumbing provides an efficient service while ensuring every section of the pipe is thoroughly examined.
Will I get a video or report after the inspection?
Yes. After a CCTV drain inspection, you typically receive a video recording or images along with a detailed report highlighting blockages, damage, or any other issues. This allows you to see exactly what is happening inside your pipes. All Kind Gas & Plumbing provides this documentation so you can make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance.
Can you locate pipe damage or cracks with CCTV?
Yes. CCTV cameras can clearly identify cracks, leaks, misaligned joints, collapsed pipes, and root intrusion. By inspecting the pipe internally, plumbers can see the exact location and severity of any damage. This level of accuracy allows All Kind Gas & Plumbing to recommend the most appropriate repair method, avoiding unnecessary excavation and disruption.
Is a CCTV drain inspection worth the cost?
Absolutely. While there is an upfront cost, CCTV drain inspections save time, prevent unnecessary digging, and provide accurate diagnosis. This reduces the risk of incomplete repairs or recurring blockages. For Brisbane homeowners, investing in a CCTV inspection often results in faster, more reliable solutions and long-term savings on plumbing maintenance.
Do I need a CCTV inspection before drain repairs?
A CCTV inspection is highly recommended for complex or recurring drainage issues. It allows plumbers to identify the exact cause and location of the problem before starting repairs. All Kind Gas & Plumbing uses CCTV inspections to ensure repairs are precise, effective, and cost-efficient, rather than guessing or performing unnecessary work.
Can a CCTV inspection help with recurring blockages?
Yes. Recurring blockages often indicate deeper issues like root intrusion, pipe damage, or misalignment. A CCTV inspection reveals the underlying cause, allowing plumbers to implement a long-term solution rather than temporary fixes. This reduces the likelihood of repeated blockages and keeps Brisbane homes’ drains flowing smoothly.
Are CCTV drain inspections safe for all types of pipelines?
Yes. CCTV inspections are safe for most residential and commercial pipelines, including PVC, clay, cast iron, and metal pipes. The cameras are flexible and non-invasive, allowing thorough inspection without damaging the pipes. All Kind Gas & Plumbing uses this method to assess drainage systems safely and effectively.
