Not Sure What's Blocking Your Drain?

Call Normanby Plumbing & Drains for a Clear Picture of Your Pipes

Normanby Plumbing & Drains provides CCTV drain camera inspections for homes and businesses throughout Normanby and greater Brisbane. Using a waterproof camera fed directly into your pipework, we locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion and collapsed sections without breaking up your driveway or garden first. From older Queenslander homes with ageing clay pipes to newer developments with stormwater trouble, our drain camera inspection process adapts to whatever's underground on your property.

If your drains are gurgling, draining slowly, or backing up repeatedly, don't wait for the problem to worsen. A prompt CCTV drain inspection can identify the cause early, before a minor blockage turns into a burst pipe or costly excavation. Give our team a call and we'll arrange a time that suits, often with same-day availability for urgent cases.

Signs You Might Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Is Your Drainage System Trying to Tell You Something?

A slow-draining sink, a bad smell from the yard, or water pooling near your stormwater pit can seem like small annoyances at first. Left unchecked, these signs often point to something bigger happening underground, such as tree root intrusion, a cracked pipe, or an offset joint slowly filling with silt and debris.

Older properties around Normanby frequently have clay or earthenware pipes that have shifted or cracked with age, while newer homes can suffer from poor pipe grading or leftover construction debris in the line. Without a pipe inspection camera, plumbers are left guessing, which can mean unnecessary digging or repeated call-outs for the same recurring blockage.

A CCTV drain inspection removes the guesswork, including for pipes running under the concrete slab. By sending a camera directly into the pipe, we can see cracks, collapsed sections, root ingress and blockages exactly where they occur, so any repair work that follows is targeted and effective.

    Precise Diagnosis, No Unnecessary Digging

    How Normanby Plumbing & Drains Gets to the Bottom of Your Drain Problems

    Normanby Plumbing & Drains combines high-definition pipe inspection cameras with sonde locating technology to map exactly what's happening inside your pipes and where. This means we can pinpoint blockages, structural defects and pipe misalignments to within centimetres, without breaking concrete or excavating the yard on a hunch.

    • HD CCTV drain camera inspections for residential and commercial properties
    • Sonde and locator technology to mark pipe paths and depths before excavation
    • Stormwater and downpipe camera surveys for flooding or slow-draining yards
    • Written, timestamped reports suitable for insurers, builders and certifiers
    • Pre-purchase and strata drain surveys to flag issues before you commit
    • Post-clean verification footage confirming jetting or root cutting was successful

    Once we know exactly what's causing the problem, we'll walk you through your options, whether that's a simple clean, pipe relining, or a targeted excavation, so you're never paying for more work than necessary.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

      We get asked plenty of questions about CCTV drain inspections, from how the process works to when it's actually needed. Here are answers to some of the most common questions our Normanby customers ask.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a waterproof camera through your drainage pipes to capture live video of what's happening inside. It allows a plumber to see blockages, cracks, root intrusion and other defects directly, rather than relying on guesswork or digging up sections of pipe to investigate.
      A CCTV inspection is worth considering if you're experiencing slow-draining sinks or toilets, recurring blockages, gurgling noises, bad odours near your yard, or damp patches on internal walls. It's also a sensible step before buying a property, before pipe relining work, or after a jetting service to confirm the line is genuinely clear.
      Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common issues our cameras uncover, particularly in established gardens around older suburbs. Roots can enter through small cracks or joints in the pipe, and the camera footage shows exactly where the intrusion is occurring so it can be treated properly rather than cleared temporarily.
      Definitely. A pre-purchase drain inspection can reveal issues that aren't visible during a standard building inspection, such as cracked pipes, root intrusion or poor drainage falls. Knowing about these issues before settlement gives you the chance to negotiate or budget for repairs, rather than discovering them after you've moved in.
      Yes. We provide clients with footage from the inspection along with a plain-language written summary outlining what we found and what we recommend. This documentation is also suitable for insurance claims, strata records, or as evidence for builders and certifiers.
      It's strongly recommended. A camera inspection confirms the pipe's material, diameter and condition, which helps determine whether relining is a suitable fix or whether a section of pipe needs to be excavated and replaced instead. Skipping this step can mean relining being applied where it isn't the right solution.
