Seeing Inside a Pipe Without Digging

Working out what's wrong with a drain from the surface alone usually means guesswork. Brown Arm Boys Drainage Brisbane carries out CCTV drain inspections across Brisbane, running a camera through pipework to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion and misaligned joints, and to confirm the exact location of a fault before any digging or repair work starts. This service underpins most of what we do, whether that's confirming a blockage's cause, checking a pipe's suitability for pipe relining, or mapping a system that hasn't been documented before. To arrange an inspection, call (07) 3524 0700.

What a CCTV Inspection Shows

A camera inspection gives a direct look at a pipe's actual condition, rather than relying on assumptions.

Blockage Location and Cause

The camera confirms exactly where a blockage sits and what's causing it, whether that's grease build-up, roots or a foreign object. This means the right clearing method can be used the first time.

Structural Condition

Cracks, collapses and misaligned joints are visible on camera, giving a clear picture of whether a pipe needs repair, relining or replacement. This avoids unnecessary excavation based on guesswork.

Root Intrusion

Tree roots entering through joints or cracks show up clearly, along with how far they've spread inside the pipe. This helps determine whether clearing alone will solve the problem or whether the entry point needs repair too.

A Recorded Reference

The footage from an inspection can be kept as a record of the pipe's condition at that point in time. This is useful for comparing against future inspections or supporting other drainage work.

How Does CCTV Drain Inspection Work?

CCTV inspections involve inserting a small, high-resolution camera into your drainage system. This camera provides live footage of the inside of your pipes, allowing our technicians to:

  • Identify blockages caused by debris, tree roots, or grease build-up.
  • Locate cracks, leaks, or collapsed sections of pipework.
  • Determine the exact location of problem areas for targeted repairs.
  • Provide a detailed condition report on your drainage system.

By pinpointing the source and location of issues, we save you time, money, and unnecessary excavation work.
