A real person answers, day or night
Guesswork costs money. Footage ends it
Digging up the wrong stretch of pipe wastes money and wrecks gardens. A camera survey shows the fault on screen before a shovel touches the soil, here in Killara and across the neighbouring garden suburbs. If a fault needs hands-on work, our drainage team handles the repair side too.

What our drain camera surveys cover
The survey covers the whole journey of your drainage, from the first metre of pipe to a written report you can act on, with each service below matched to the faults our footage actually finds beneath leafy Upper North Shore blocks:
Full line surveys
An inspection-grade camera travels every metre of the drainage line, recording footage of cracks, root intrusion, displaced joints and sagging sections, so the true condition of a buried pipe becomes visible on screen rather than guessed at from above ground.
Root intrusion reporting
Camera surveys map precisely where tree roots have forced their way through earthenware joints and how far each root mat has spread along the run, which decides whether jetting alone will genuinely hold or the pipe needs relining or replacing.
Pre-purchase and renovation surveys
Buyers and renovators order a camera inspection before contracts or tile removal, because discovering a fractured sewer line after settlement or after screeding turns an affordable repair into an expensive and deeply disruptive excavation across mature gardens and heritage footings.
Locating and depth mapping
Sonde transmitters inside the camera head record where every fault sits along the line and how deep it lies, so any later excavation, relining or repair targets the exact spot anywhere along the run without exploratory digging across lawns, paths or established garden beds.
Two housing generations, one drainage network
Old and new side by side
Autumn's annual harvest
Problems the camera is built to solve
Blockages that keep coming back
A drain that clears and blocks again usually hides a structural fault the first visit never revealed, and a camera pass shows whether roots have regrown, a joint has shifted or the pipe's fall invites debris. Blocked drain clearing paired with a survey ends the cycle.
Odours and damp with no obvious source
Persistent sewer smells, damp patches or slow fixtures with no visible cause often trace to buried faults, and a survey follows the entire run until the source shows itself, ending weeks of frustrated guesswork and unnecessary digging.
Doubt after a big storm
After heavy summer downpours surcharge gullies on sloping blocks, homeowners rarely know whether the stormwater system coped or failed, and recorded footage of the pits and downstream lines answers that question with evidence rather than opinion. See stormwater drainage for the repair side.
Why looking beats guessing: the case in brief
When you can see the pipe, every decision that follows gets smarter and faster:
- Footage ends the cycle Repeated clearing without diagnosis treats symptoms while the underlying fracture keeps admitting roots, so the same blockage returns season after season and each visit costs more than the survey that would have solved it.
- Small faults stay small A cracked joint caught on camera gets relined before it collapses, and pipe relining done at that stage avoids the excavation, garden restoration and displaced household that a collapsed sewer line demands.
- Reports carry weight Written condition reports with footage support pre-purchase negotiations, insurance claims and renovation planning, and they pair neatly with a blocked sewer diagnosis when a whole line needs explaining.

Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Killara
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Killara works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Once the survey is done, the same crew can usually carry the fix straight through, and our leak detection service applies the same evidence-first approach to pressurised supply lines.
Where we work
Drain surveys across the neighbouring suburbs
The same camera van covers Gordon, Lindfield, East Killara, Roseville and Pymble, so households across the Upper North Shore's leafy garden suburbs receive identical diagnostic standards, with footage explained in plain language and written reports delivered the same day wherever the job sits.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV drain inspection questions from Killara locals
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually show?
A waterproof camera travels the full length of your drainage line while we watch live, logging every crack, root intrusion, displaced joint and sag so you see the pipe's true condition.
When is a camera inspection worth booking?
Book one when drains block repeatedly, when several fixtures slow down together, before buying an older house, or after clearing a serious blockage so the repair decision rests on footage.
Will the camera find tree roots in my sewer line?
Very often, because mature street trees and large garden canopies push fine roots through ageing earthenware joints, and the camera shows which trees are responsible and how far intrusion has travelled.
Should I inspect the drains before buying an older home?
Yes, because many Federation and Californian Bungalow homes still run original earthenware drainage, and footage recorded before settlement either confirms the lines are sound or turns a fault into a negotiating point.
How long does a drain inspection take?
Most residential surveys take between forty-five minutes and two hours depending on the run's length, the number of junctions and whether a blockage needs clearing before the camera can pass.
What happens if the inspection finds a broken pipe?
You receive the footage, a written report marking where each fault sits and how deep, and a fixed quote for the recommended fix, whether that is jetting, relining or replacing a short section.
