Trusted CCTV Drain Inspections Across Clayfield

For 20 years, Clayfield Plumbing & Drains has been sending drain cameras through the pipes of homes and businesses across Clayfield and greater Brisbane. Many properties in this established pocket of Brisbane's north still run on original earthenware pipework, which means root intrusion, cracked joints and ageing sewer lines are common finds on our camera footage. Our licensed plumbers know exactly what to look for, whether it's a heritage Queenslander near Eagle Junction station or a newer townhouse closer to Nundah. We combine sonde locating technology with high-definition drain cameras to give you a clear, honest picture of what's happening underground, without unnecessary digging.

Common Drain Problems

Not Sure Why Your Drains Keep Blocking?

Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets and damp patches on the lawn are rarely random. In older Clayfield properties, tree roots often find their way into ageing earthenware or clay pipes through tiny cracks and joints, gradually restricting flow until a blockage forms. Left unchecked, root intrusion and offset joints can lead to a collapsed pipe, sewage backing up into the house, or a soggy, smelly section of yard that never quite dries out.

Under-slab leaks are another issue we see regularly across Brisbane's older suburbs. A cracked pipe beneath the concrete can show up as a damp carpet, a musty smell, or an unexplained spike in your water bill long before any visible sign appears outside. Without a pipe inspection camera locating the exact point of failure, tracking down these hidden problems usually means costly excavation.

A CCTV drain inspection removes the guesswork. Instead of digging blind or repeatedly clearing the same blockage, our drain camera pinpoints the cause, the exact location and the true condition of your pipework in one visit.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      We get asked plenty of questions about CCTV drain inspections from Clayfield homeowners and business owners. Here are some of the most common ones, answered by our experienced plumbing team.

      A waterproof camera on a flexible rod is fed through your drain or sewer line, sending a live video feed back to a screen our plumber monitors on-site. This lets us see cracks, root intrusion, blockages and pipe misalignments in real time, without any digging or guesswork. Once the camera has travelled the length of the line, we can pinpoint the exact location and cause of the issue using surface locating equipment.
      Yes. Footage from the drain camera shows us the pipe material, joint condition and the extent of any damage, which helps determine whether trenchless pipe relining is suitable or whether a section needs excavation and replacement. We'll walk you through the footage and explain our recommendation in plain language, so you understand the reasoning behind it.
      A pre-purchase drain inspection is a sensible step, particularly for older homes where the original pipework may still be in place. Root intrusion, cracked joints and ageing earthenware pipes aren't always obvious from the surface, and a CCTV survey gives you a written record of the drain's condition before you commit to a contract.
      Our cameras are designed to navigate older pipe materials, tighter bends and smaller diameters, which makes them well suited to the type of pipework found in many established Clayfield properties. We regularly inspect earthenware, clay and older PVC lines throughout Brisbane's northside.
      Yes. We provide timestamped footage along with a written report, which is generally accepted as supporting evidence for insurance claims, building disputes or warranty assessments. If you need documentation for a certifier or builder, let us know beforehand so we can prepare the report accordingly.
      We'll explain what the camera has shown us and talk through the practical options available, whether that's clearing a blockage, cutting back roots, patching a section of pipe or relining the line. There's no obligation to proceed with any repair on the spot, and you'll always have the footage and report to refer back to when making your decision.
