CCTV Drain Inspection

Clear Your Pipes with CCTV Drain Inspections

Blocked drains involve a hidden world of grease, waste, and tree roots. When a plunger fails, you need to see what is happening underground.

A CCTV drain inspection reveals exactly what went wrong. Sharpe Trade Services uses this technology to find the problem so we can fix it correctly the first time.

How CCTV Drain Technology Works

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) removes guesswork from plumbing. We feed a high-definition waterproof camera into your drainage system. This camera sends a live video feed to a monitor held by our technician. We see every crack, clog, and root intrusion in real time.

Pinpoint Accuracy

Our cameras include location transmitters. This allows us to find the exact spot of a blockage from above ground. We do not need to dig up your entire garden to find one broken pipe. This saves you time and reduces repair costs.

Accurate Diagnosis

A visual inspection confirms if you have a simple clog or a structural failure. You receive the facts before we start any work. This transparency ensures you only pay for the repairs you actually need.

Common Issues We Find Underground

Drainage systems fail for several reasons. In Adelaide, our soil conditions often cause pipes to shift or break. Our in-house technicians use cameras to identify these specific problems:

• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots enter through small cracks and expand.
• Pipe Sagging: Soil erosion causes pipes to “belly” or sag. This stops water from flowing correctly.
• Collapsed Lines: Old earthenware pipes can collapse under the weight of the ground.
• Hardened Debris: Foreign objects or solidified grease create stubborn barriers.

“Data from 2024 shows that 65% of recurring Adelaide drain blockages are caused by invasive tree roots that standard clearing methods cannot fully remove without visual guidance.” — Industry Drainage Report 2025
