Drains and pipes we inspect
CCTV drain inspections are suitable for nearly every part of your home’s drainage system. Here are some of the main types of drains and pipes we commonly assess for customers:
Kitchen drains
CCTV cameras help identify the grease build-up, food blockages, or pipe corrosion that often develops over time. These inspections allow us to pinpoint the exact cause of slow drainage.
It also helps us to recommend the best solutions to stop the problem from escalating further into your plumbing system.
Toilet drains
Our camera inspections can locate obstructions that are stuck within the line. This can be wipes, sanitary products, or foreign objects. An approach like this eliminates the need to do unnecessary excavation. Additionally, it enables us to address the issue directly at its source to produce a reliable, long-term fix.
Stormwater drains
These drains often become blocked with leaves, debris, or tree roots, especially after heavy rain. CCTV surveys help assess the overall condition of your stormwater system. This enables us to identify any structural issues before they lead to flooding or property damage.
Sewer drains
Sewer lines can be impacted by root intrusion, pipe cracks, or build-up from years of use. A camera inspection assists us in assessing the integrity of the sewer system, locating the exact problem, and planning repairs without disturbing your outdoor areas.
Shower and bathtub drains
Hair, soap scum, and product residue can create stubborn clogs in your bathroom drains. Using CCTV technology, we can identify the blockage point quickly and check for underlying issues. These might be pipe wear or misalignment.
When to book a CCTV drain inspection
Here are some times when you should consider a CCTV drain inspection:
- Recurring blockages or slow drains: If your shower or kitchen sink is constantly backing up, there’s likely a deeper issue. Our inspection pinpoints the cause without guesswork.
- Buying or selling a home: Drain problems often go unnoticed in building inspections. We provide detailed video reports that help buyers and sellers assess risk and value.
- Water pooling, dampness, or foundation cracks: Leaks from damaged drains can lead to damp soil, cracked paving, or mould issues. Early detection protects your home’s foundation.
- Renovations and new builds: Don’t pour thousands into upgrades only to discover poor drainage later.
- Nearby tree growth or ground movement: Canberra’s older suburbs are full of beautiful, root-heavy trees. CCTV inspections detect root intrusion or pipe misalignment caused by shifting soils.

About our cameras
At Climate Plus, we use high-definition, waterproof CCTV drain cameras. They are attached to flexible cables that allow us to navigate deep into your plumbing and drainage system.
As the camera travels, bright LED lights illuminate the pipe interior. This sends a live video feed back to a monitor, which gives us a crystal-clear view of what’s going on inside your drains.
These cameras let us spot blockages, cracks, root intrusion, corrosion or misalignment very accurately. Because the system records video and still images, you get a comprehensive view of the pipe condition. This includes the exact location and depth of any issues.
