Not every drainage problem can be diagnosed from the surface. If your drains keep blocking, water is backing up, bad smells are coming from your pipes, or you suspect damage underground, a CCTV pipe inspection can help identify what is really happening inside the pipe.
All Needs Plumbing provides CCTV pipe inspections across Sydney and Wollongong. Using drain camera technology, our licensed plumbers can inspect underground pipes, locate blockages, identify damage, and recommend the most practical next step.
Whether you need help with recurring blocked drains, tree root intrusion, damaged sewer pipes, stormwater issues, or a pre-purchase drainage inspection, our team can provide clear answers without unnecessary guesswork.
Call 1300 110 230 to book a CCTV pipe inspection in Sydney or Wollongong.
A blocked drain is often just a symptom. The real cause may be deeper inside the pipe, such as tree roots, grease build-up, cracked pipework, collapsed sections, foreign objects, poor pipe alignment, or ageing drainage infrastructure.
A CCTV pipe inspection allows us to see inside the drainage system and understand the condition of the pipe before recommending repairs. This can help avoid unnecessary excavation, reduce delays, and give you a clearer understanding of the issue.
At All Needs Plumbing, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect pipes for homes, businesses, strata properties, real estate-managed properties, construction sites, and pre-purchase inspections. Once we understand what is happening, we explain the findings clearly and recommend the most suitable solution.
If your drain keeps blocking, a camera inspection can help show what is causing the problem. Instead of repeatedly clearing the drain without knowing why it keeps returning, we can inspect the pipe and identify the underlying issue.
This is useful for blocked toilets, kitchen drains, bathroom drains, sewer lines, stormwater drains, and outdoor drainage systems.
Sewer pipe problems can cause unpleasant smells, wastewater backups, gurgling drains, and multiple fixtures blocking at the same time. A CCTV inspection can help locate the affected section and identify whether the issue is caused by tree roots, pipe damage, heavy build-up, or another fault.
Once the issue is confirmed, we can recommend the most practical repair option.
Stormwater pipes can become blocked by leaves, silt, mud, roots, debris, or damaged sections of pipe. This can lead to pooling water, overflowing pits, flooding, or poor drainage during heavy rain.
Our CCTV pipe inspection service can help investigate stormwater drainage problems and identify where the blockage or damage is located.
Tree roots are a common cause of recurring drainage problems. Roots can enter pipe joins, cracks, or damaged sections and continue growing inside the pipe.
A CCTV inspection can show where the roots have entered, how severe the issue is, and whether the pipe may need clearing, repair, relining, or replacement.
If a pipe is cracked, crushed, collapsed, or badly misaligned, standard drain clearing may only provide temporary relief. CCTV footage can help confirm the condition of the pipe and show whether structural repair is needed.
This can be important before approving major work, especially for strata properties, commercial sites, and real estate-managed properties.
Before buying a property, it can be useful to understand the condition of the drainage system. A standard building inspection may not always show what is happening inside underground pipes.
A CCTV pipe inspection can help identify hidden drainage issues before purchase, including root intrusion, damaged sewer lines, stormwater problems, or recurring blockage risks.
If you are building, renovating, landscaping, or planning excavation work, a CCTV pipe inspection can help identify existing drainage conditions and reduce surprises during the project.
This can be useful before construction begins, after major works, or when checking whether pipework has been affected by nearby activity.

Plumbing emergency? We’re on call 24/7 across Sutherland Shire and Sydney to help when you need us most.
We start by asking what you have noticed and checking the affected area. This helps us understand whether the issue may involve a sink, toilet, shower, sewer line, stormwater drain, or wider drainage system.
In some cases, the pipe may need to be cleared first so the camera can move through the line properly. If there is heavy debris, grease, roots, or a major blockage, we may recommend drain clearing before or during the inspection.
Our plumber inserts the camera into the pipe and inspects the inside of the line. This allows us to locate blockages, damage, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or other issues that may be causing the problem.
After the inspection, we explain what we found in plain language. Where available, footage or images can help show the condition of the pipe and support the recommended next step.
Depending on the findings, the next step may include drain clearing, high-pressure water jetting, pipe repair, pipe relining, excavation, maintenance, or no immediate repair if the pipe is in good condition.
Our goal is to recommend the most practical solution based on the actual condition of the pipe.
“Each time, their professionalism has been outstanding. Four different team members attended across the process, and every one of them was punctual, courteous, and efficient.”
From the smooth quoting and booking process to the completion of the work, everything was handled seamlessly. Despite it being a particularly messy job, the worksite was left spotless when they were done. I can’t fault their service and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional plumbers in our area!
