CCTV Drain Inspection Branxton
A CCTV drain inspection in Branxton sends a camera through the pipe and shows the blockage or break on a monitor, so any repair is priced from pictures rather than guesswork. You book it by phone, the price is set first, and you keep the recording.
Our plumber in Branxton team films drains anywhere in town and over in Greta.

When does a drain need a camera?
Some drains tell you straight away what is wrong. Others need eyes inside the pipe before anyone can say:
- The toilet gurgles or the floor waste fills, and clearing has not held.
- The same fixture silts up again not long after a clear.
- Water backs up in the yard after storms but the fixtures inside run fine.
- You are buying the property and want the sewer line's real condition on record.
In each case the camera answers one question: is this a blockage to clear, or a pipe to repair?
How We Run a Camera Inspection
- 1
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 2
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 3
Camera down the line
The camera head is pushed through the pipe recording as it goes, so the fault is found and named before any repair is discussed.
- 4
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
You go through the footage with the plumber there and then. If the pipe is sound, a clear finishes the job. If not, the recording is what the repair price is based on, whether that is tree root removal, a relining job or excavation.
How is the inspection priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The price then depends on:
- The length of pipe to film before the fault turns up
- Whether a blocked line has to be jetted open before the camera can see anything
- How easy the inspection opening is to reach in an older yard
- Night or weekend timing, billed as after-hours
Clay Ground, Old Trees, One Camera
Old clay, moving soil
Newer estates, different faults
When We're Not the Right Call
Faults out in the Hunter Water network are theirs to repair, and you get their number to report it. If a section has fully collapsed, a liner will not hold and digging is the honest answer; where the pipe is cracked but intact, pipe relining can seal it, decided with the recording in front of you.
What Customers Say
Our blocked toilet morphed into a huge plumbing earthworks project due to extreme pipe damage from tree roots.
CCTV Drain Inspection Questions
Do you camera the drain before or after clearing it in Branxton?
Both. The camera goes down first to confirm what is in the line, then the clear happens, and a second pass checks the pipe is actually sound. Old earthenware drains around the town core are checked gently, because a cracked clay line needs a different fix to a simple blockage.
Will the footage show if roots have cracked my pipe?
Yes. Roots get into drains through joints that reactive clay soil has shifted apart, and the camera records exactly where that has happened. Once the entry point is on screen, the lasting fix can be quoted honestly, whether that is relining the pipe or cutting the roots out and repairing the joint.
Can I get a camera run before I buy a house out here?
Yes. Century-old weatherboard cottages near the main street and the first homes in the newer estates can both hide drain trouble, and a camera inspection before you sign shows the real state of the sewer line.
Who pays if the fault sits past my property line?
Hunter Water looks after the shared main beyond your connection. Filming stops at your side, you get their faults number for the rest, and our price covers only the pipe on your property.
