Blocked Drain Cameras
A recorded pass down a slow drain line shows exactly what the choke is made of and where it sits, so the clear targets the real fault, not a guess.

CCTV Drain Inspections in Nundah
Plenty of drain trouble gets treated blind: a clear, a hope, another blockage in six months. A camera pass ends that cycle by naming the fault the first time.
Drains Nobody Ever Mapped
This suburb's interwar cottages were connected a century ago, and nobody wrote down where the pipes went. The camera is the map.
No plan on file
Worker's cottages around roads like Boyd Street were sewered in the suburb's early days, and no record survives of where each branch runs. A camera pass writes that map as it travels.
Rigid old lengths
Salt-glazed and earthenware pipe cracks at the socket as the ground shifts, and the footage shows exactly which length has failed before anyone starts digging.
New stock, same mains
The apartment blocks that followed the 2008 village renewal tap into the same concrete mains under the street, so one camera run reads both kinds of property.
Camera Services We Run
Four camera jobs cover almost every call we get: checking a slow line before clearing it, confirming a sewer fault, tracing stormwater, and mapping old drains before you renovate. Each one ends with you watching the fault:
Sewer Camera Checks
Every fixture slowing down together points at the shared sewer line, and camera footage confirms whether tree roots, a cracked socket or a sag is holding your wastewater back today.
Stormwater Tracing
Water lying on paths and lawns after rain usually means a broken stormwater line, and the camera traces the run from the pit to find where the water actually escapes.
Drain Mapping
Older cottage lots rarely come with a drain plan, so we record the camera's path and mark where each branch runs, giving you a clear map before renovating or landscaping.

What the Camera Usually Finds
Four faults account for most of the footage we record on this side of town:
Repeat Blockages
The same drain blocking again after every clear usually means an offset joint or a root ball, and the footage shows the exact length that needs repairing, not just clearing.
Sagging Pipe
A soft spot in the line holds water and solids until the drain slows, and the camera measures exactly where the belly sits so the repair targets the right section.
Root Intrusion
Tree roots hunt for the moisture around a leaking socket, and the footage shows how far the root mat has grown down the pipe before we cut it back.
Silt Build-Up
Groundwater near the surface on the Toombul flats carries fine soil into open joints, and the camera reveals how deep the silt lies before anyone chooses between clearing and repair.
Fill Ground and Bellied Lines
Ground that was built up settles, and it takes buried pipe with it. On the Toombul flats, the old shopping centre site was filled and raised in 1967 because it flooded, and fill like that keeps moving for decades.
Sags hide from clears
A pipe that has dropped out of grade still passes water slowly until it stops, and jetting shifts the solids without lifting the belly. The camera measures the sag directly.
Floods leave silt
The mapped February 2022 extent touched Hedley Avenue, Nudgee Road and Widdop Street, so lines along them deserve a camera look after every big wet.
Why a Camera Run Pays for Itself
A camera run costs less than a single wrong guess, because it turns a drain that keeps blocking into a diagnosed fault with a known fix, and it protects every repair dollar that follows:
The right fix, once
Clearing a drain that needs a repair buys you months, not a solution. The footage tells you which one you are paying for before the money leaves your pocket.
Quotes that hold
A fixed quote written against camera evidence carries no guesswork, so the price you approve covers the fault that is genuinely in the ground.
A record you keep
The recording shows the pipe's material, depth and path, which is exactly what a renovator, a landscaper or the next owner will want to see.

CCTV Drain Inspection Questions
Call (07) 3067 4272What does a CCTV drain inspection show at my Nundah home?
The footage reveals every crack, root ball, sag and patch of silt along the line, plus the depth of each fault, so the repair quote matches what is truly under your yard.
Should I get a drain inspection before buying a unit near Toombul station?
Yes, because plenty of blocks around Toombul share drains of mixed ages, and camera footage before settlement prices any trouble you would otherwise inherit with the keys, before you are committed.
If the camera finds a fault out in the street, who fixes it?
The public sewer and water mains beneath the street are Urban Utilities' responsibility, while pipes on your side of the connection belong to you, and we show you exactly where that boundary sits on screen.
Can a camera inspection in Nundah tell me whether my drain needs cleaning or repair?
Usually yes, because build-up sits evenly along the walls while a collapse or sag shows as a definite change in the pipe, and the recording tells us which one you are looking at.
Is the camera safe for old earthenware drains in Nundah?
Yes, the camera only travels the line and records, so brittle salt-glazed and earthenware lengths are never stressed, and we use the footage to pick clearing methods those old pipes can handle.
