Gordon CCTV Drain Inspection, Sorted Same Day

CCTV drain inspection covers every situation where guessing about a pipe's interior would be expensive. Some bookings are routine checks; others need one specific answer confirmed.

Full-length line surveys: The whole run gets filmed, entry to exit, with the pipe's condition documented as the camera moves.

Blockage and damage location: Rather than a rough area, you get a precise position for whatever the camera finds wrong.

Pre-purchase drain checks: Old pipework under a home you're about to commit to deserves a look beforehand rather than a surprise afterwards.

Recurring-blockage diagnosis: When regular clearing never quite ends the problem, the camera usually shows the reason it returns.

Recorded footage: Everything gets filmed, which means our conclusions come with evidence attached rather than descriptions.

Insurance and building reports: Claims and pre-purchase paperwork sometimes need visual proof; footage with a straightforward written summary covers it.

Gordon's housing spans well over a century, from Federation-era homes built in the 1890s through to mid-century houses and the newer apartments near the station. Each era laid its drainage differently, and none of it comes with a reliable map today.

A property near Clifford Street built before 1940 might still run on its original earthenware pipework, while a 1960s home nearby could have a completely different layout again. Without a camera, working out which is which means digging blind.

An inspection replaces those assumptions with facts. Whatever era the pipework actually belongs to, the camera shows what's really there and where it runs, not what the house's age would suggest.

That matters most on blocks that have changed hands or been extended more than once, where the original plans, if they still exist at all, rarely match what was actually built.

1. Access point: Existing openings into the line come first; cutting new access is a last resort.
2. Camera run: Filming proceeds along the pipe from one end toward the other, nothing skipped.
3. Locate and measure: Anything of note gets tagged with an exact distance reading, not an estimate.
4. Explain the footage: You watch what we watched, with commentary, before next steps get discussed.

On Clifford Street's older stock, that first step sometimes runs long where the original access point has been paved over or built around since the house was last renovated.

An inspection only helps if you can trust what it shows, so we're licensed plumbers and gas fitters reading the footage, not just running a camera through a pipe. That's the difference between a report and a guess.

Should the inspection lead to repair work, our lifetime labour warranty covers that job too, so the fix is protected as thoroughly as the diagnosis was.

None of that changes the price you were quoted for the inspection itself. The two stay separate, so no surprise line item appears once the camera comes out.
