CCTV Drain Inspection for Kellyville Homes

A CCTV drain inspection feeds a waterproof camera through the pipe and puts what's actually happening on a screen in front of you, rather than leaving it to guesswork based on symptoms alone.

The camera locates blockages, cracks, root intrusion and misaligned joints, and pinpoints roughly how far into the property each one sits. Where our free-CCTV-with-jet-blast offer applies, the inspection is included at no extra cost on top of a jetting job already booked.

For a pre-purchase check, the same footage tells a buyer or seller exactly what condition the drains are in before settlement, not after moving in and finding out the hard way. It's a small cost weighed against what a surprise sewer repair could add to a purchase down the track.

Kellyville's housing runs through brick-veneer, brick and rendered construction across three real building waves, and what's underground doesn't always match what a property looks like from the street.

Streets near Merriville Road carry some of that mixed stock, where an older brick-veneer home can sit beside a newer rendered build, each with completely different pipework underneath.

Rather than assume based on a home's age or style, we let the footage do the talking on material and condition before any quote gets written. That matters more here than in a suburb with one uniform building era.

A home built in the 1980s estate wave might have already had partial repairs done over the decades, mixing clay, PVC and everything in between along the same run. Only the footage settles which is which.

1. Fixed quote first. We confirm the scope, whether it's one line or the whole system, and settle on a number ahead of booking anything in.
2. Locate the access point. Whether that's an existing inspection opening, a gully trap or a roof vent, we find the easiest way in first.
3. Camera down the line. A waterproof camera runs the length of the pipe, recording as it goes and marking distance as it travels.
4. We review the footage together. You see what we see, including any cracks, roots or misaligned joints along the way, explained in plain language.
5. We recommend the right next step. That might mean a clear, it might mean a repair, or it might mean telling you the line's in good shape and nothing further is needed.

On properties with mixed-era pipework, like the pockets near Merriville Road, tracing the full run can take a little longer. Older sections sometimes branch differently to how a modern plan would show it, so we follow the pipe rather than the paperwork.

Footage from an inspection usually points one of two ways: Drain Cleaning when the line just needs clearing, or Blocked Drain Repair when the pipe itself has failed. Either way, you'll have already seen what we saw before agreeing to anything further.

We cover Kellyville and the wider Hills District, including Bella Vista, Glenhaven and Castle Hill, on the same terms wherever the booking comes from.
