Two Decades of CCTV Drain Camera Expertise in Sorrento

Sorrento Plumbing & Drains has spent 20 years inspecting drains, sewers and stormwater lines across Sorrento and the wider Gold Coast region. Our team uses hd drain camera equipment to locate blockages, cracked pipes and root intrusion without digging up a single garden bed. We've seen every drainage issue the local clay soil and older pipework can throw at a property, from collapsed sewer lines to under slab pipe defects. That experience means our drain inspection reports are accurate, clear and genuinely useful for repairs, insurance claims or property purchases.

Get A Clear Picture Of Your Drains With Sorrento Plumbing & Drains

If your drains are running slow, backing up repeatedly or smelling foul, guessing at the cause wastes time and money. Sorrento Plumbing & Drains sends a pipe inspection camera through your lines to show exactly what's happening underground, whether that's tree roots, a collapsed pipe or a simple blockage. We service homes and businesses throughout Sorrento and greater Gold Coast, from older Broadwater-side properties to newer builds further inland.

Call Sorrento Plumbing & Drains and we'll have a plumber out to run a camera through your pipes.

Signs Your Drains Need A Camera Inspection

Why Is My Drain Slow Or Blocking Again?

A slow drain, gurgling toilet or damp patch on the lawn are rarely one-off problems. More often they point to something happening below ground: tree roots pushing through a joint, a cracked pipe letting in soil, or a belly in the line collecting waste. Left alone, these issues tend to get worse, leading to sewage backing up inside the house or a stormwater pit overflowing during heavy rain.

Older properties around Sorrento often have earthenware or cast iron pipework that's simply reached the end of its life, while newer homes can suffer from offset joints or poor connections made during construction. Without a proper drain camera inspection, plumbers are forced to dig blind, which costs more, takes longer and can damage paving, driveways or gardens unnecessarily. A cctv drain camera removes the guesswork entirely.

      Common Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

      We answer these drain camera questions regularly from Sorrento homeowners and business owners, so we've put the most common ones here. If your question isn't covered, our team is happy to talk you through it over the phone.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a waterproof camera on a flexible push rod through your drain or sewer line. The camera sends a live video feed back to our plumber, allowing us to see the inside of the pipe, identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion or misaligned joints, and record footage for your records.
      Common signs include drains that keep blocking despite clearing, gurgling toilets, slow-draining sinks, damp patches or sunken areas in the yard, and unpleasant smells around gullies or manholes. If a blockage keeps returning after cleaning, a camera inspection helps identify the underlying structural cause rather than just treating the symptom.
      Yes, tree root intrusion is one of the most common issues our cameras pick up, particularly in older clay or earthenware pipes where roots find their way through joints seeking moisture. The footage shows exactly where the roots have entered and how much of the pipe is affected, which helps determine whether cutting, relining or replacement is the right solution.
      It's helpful if someone is available to discuss the history of the problem and show us access points such as gullies or inspection openings, but it isn't essential for the whole visit. Many of our clients arrange access and are updated by phone once the inspection is complete.
      Yes, every CCTV drain inspection we carry out comes with recorded footage and a plain-language written report outlining what we found, including the location and nature of any defects. This documentation is useful for insurance claims, builder warranties, council requirements or simply your own records.
      Absolutely. A pre-purchase drain inspection can reveal issues that aren't visible during a standard building inspection, such as collapsed sections, root intrusion or poor pipe connections underneath the slab. Knowing about these problems before settlement gives you the chance to negotiate or budget for repairs with full knowledge of the property's condition.
