A real person answers, day or night
See exactly what is going on inside your drain before anyone digs
Guessing is the most expensive tool in drainage. We put a camera down the line first, because a drain that tells you what is wrong is a drain you only have to open once. If a blockage is active right now, our blocked drains team can clear it and camera it in the same visit.
Clay drains, big trees and a ridge that pulls everything downhill
- Earthenware under the Federation homes The interwar houses on the leafy blocks were plumbed with earthenware clay drains that crack and gap as they age, and the camera is the only honest way to see which joints have opened.
- Slope does the sorting The terrain falls steeply toward the Lane Cove and Berowra valleys, so roots, silt and debris collect at predictable low points in the runs, and the footage marks exactly where.
- Soil that will not sit still Reactive clay and shale ground swells in wet summers and shrinks in dry ones, flexing rigid pipes until joints step out of line, which reads plainly on screen.
What our drain cameras cover
Drain camera work is diagnosis, and diagnosis decides everything that follows: whether a line needs jetting, a spot repair, relining or renewal, and what a fair price for that work actually looks like. We run camera inspections across the whole drainage scope below, and every finding comes with recorded footage you keep.
Full drain survey
A waterproof camera travels the whole line from an access point, recording every metre of pipe beneath your yard, so you see the true condition of your drains clearly on screen instead of relying on guesswork built from symptoms alone.
Root intrusion mapping
Roots hunt water through the smallest joint gap in an old clay line, and the footage shows exactly which trees are responsible, how far the intrusion has already spread, and whether repeated jetting will hold or relining is genuinely smarter.
Precise fault locating
The camera head carries a small sonde that transmits its position to a receiver above ground, so we mark the exact spot of a break, collapse or offset joint and quote for the smallest possible excavation rather than a trench.
Pre-purchase and renovation checks
Buying or extending in an established suburb means inheriting whatever lies under the lawn, and a recorded inspection before settlement, or before pouring a new slab, turns an unknown into solid, documented evidence you can price, plan and negotiate around.
Leaf fall, storms and the grounds that feed them
- Autumn fills the pits first Heavy canopy across the suburb sheds hard in autumn, and leaf litter washing into gully pits and surface drains becomes the sludge the camera finds settled in the low runs by winter.
- Summer storms test every weakness Intense thunderstorms on the elevated catchment surcharge older stormwater lines, and a camera inspection after a wild afternoon shows whether a line simply coped slowly or is quietly failing.
- Big grounds, big root systems The mature trees shading the bowling greens at the club on Yarrara Road and the fairways of the golf course founded in 1923 just over the Beecroft boundary belong to root systems that do not respect property lines.
What the camera finds most often
Recurring blockages
A drain that blocks every few months usually has roots sitting in a cracked joint, and clearing without a camera inspection means nobody ever sees the crack, so the cycle simply resumes once regrowth reaches the flow path again.
Unexplained damp and odours
A damp patch that keeps returning over one section of lawn, a persistent smell near a gully or a slow drop in drainage speed can all trace to a buried fault, and the camera finds it without excavating half the yard on speculation.
Why looking costs less than guessing: the case for camera-first drainage
- You pay for the right repair, not the likely one Footage distinguishes a single offset joint from a collapsed run, so the quote matches the actual fault instead of the worst-case assumption.
- Recurring problems get solved, not rescheduled When the cause is visible, the fix can be permanent, whether that is cutting the root mass and relining or replacing the failed section entirely, as our pipe relining work does from inside the pipe.
- Small faults get caught early A stepped joint found today is a camera file; the same joint found after a collapse becomes a sewered excavation, which is why we always check the line where a blocked sewer has been involved.
How it works
How a CCTV drain inspection works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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
Feed, read and report
We feed the camera from an inspection opening or removed fixture, watch the footage live with you where possible, and record the full run so every finding can be reviewed later or compared after any repair.

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 Pennant Hills
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 Pennant Hills 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.
The same footage-first discipline carries into every drainage job we run, from the first metre of camera push to the last joint we prove.
Where we work
Where else we work
We carry the same camera-first approach through Thornleigh, Beecroft, Cheltenham, Normanhurst and West Pennant Hills, where the leafy blocks and ageing pipework across the district develop much the same root-prone faults our drainage team handles every week.
Good questions, straight answers
Questions locals ask about drain cameras
How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?
Most residential inspections take between forty-five minutes and two hours depending on line length, how accessible the inspection points are and whether we need to clear debris first to get a usable view.
Will you show me the footage?
Yes, we record the entire run and walk you through the important frames on screen, then keep the file available so you can review it later or compare against footage from any repair.
Why do drains block so often in a leafy suburb?
Mature trees on large blocks push roots into ageing earthenware clay joints, so the camera commonly finds fine root mats at the same offsets where a century-old sewer line has stepped and cracked.
Can a camera inspection find a leak?
It finds the faults that cause leaks, such as cracked joints, offsets and broken sections, and for water escaping pressurised pipes we pair the camera with dedicated leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source.
How much does a drain inspection cost?
We give a fixed written price before any work begins, the call out fee is $0, and the quote covers the full inspection and report, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Do you repair the problem after the inspection?
Yes, the footage becomes the plan, and we quote for whatever the images justify, whether that is jetting, a spot repair, pipe relining or a full renewal, always before any repair work starts.
