CCTV Drain Camera Inspection

Guessing what's wrong with an underground line means guessing at the repair too. A CCTV camera run through the pipe shows the exact problem — a crack, a root intrusion, a collapsed section, or just a partial blockage — so any work we recommend is based on what's actually there.

How to tell

Signs you might need this

A drain keeps blocking every few months despite jetting

You're buying a property and want the drains checked before transfer

A bad smell persists even after a drain has been cleared

You suspect root intrusion from trees near the drain line

A section of garden or paving has started to sink slightly

How it works

Our process

Camera run

A waterproof camera on a flexible rod is fed through the line, recording as it goes.

Live assessment

We watch the footage in real time and can show you exactly what we're seeing.

Report & recommendation

You get a clear explanation of the problem and what (if anything) needs fixing.

What's included

Full camera run of the affected line
Distance and location marking, so any repair is targeted, not exploratory
Recorded footage on request
A plain-language explanation, not just a diagnosis code

What it costs

A standalone CCTV inspection typically runs R1,500–R3,000 depending on the length and accessibility of the line. It's often bundled with a jetting call-out when a blockage is recurring, which usually works out cheaper than paying for each separately over multiple visits.

Questions about this service

Is this useful for a property purchase?

Very — underground drain problems are one of the easiest things to miss on a standard home inspection, and one of the more expensive things to fix after you've moved in.

Can you fix what you find without digging up the garden?

Often, yes — root-cutting, jetting, and pipe relining can resolve a lot of issues without excavation. We'll tell you if a section genuinely needs to be dug up rather than defaulting to it.
