CCTV pipe inspections paired with hydro-jet clearing for a permanent fix. Whether you’re calling for the first time or you’ve been a client for 20 years, the same team handles the call, the diagnosis, and the work. No tiered “senior vs junior” rates — just qualified, licensed, insured plumbers who do this every day across Northside Brisbane.
Because the same blockage symptom (water rising in a shower, gurgling toilet) can mean very different problems — from a wet wipe build-up to tree-root damage to a collapsed pipe. The camera lets us see the cause before we clear, so we don’t just push the problem further down and have you ringing again next month. It usually pays for itself.
Yes — we record the inspection and email you an MP4 along with our written report, including the location of the blockage relative to landmarks (driveway, sewer pit, etc). Useful if you’re selling, insuring, dealing with body corporate, or just want to know exactly what’s going on under your house.
A snake punches a hole through the blockage and is great for hair, tissue and soft material. A hydro-jet uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall — root mat, fat build-up, sediment — restoring near-original diameter. For tree-root jobs in particular, jetting paired with a cutter head is the gold standard. We use whichever’s right for the job.
On a typical 80–100mm sewer line our crew adjusts the pressure to suit the pipe material — clay, PVC, copper, cast iron each get a different setting. We won’t use full pressure on a clearly fragile pipe; we’ll camera-confirm the condition first and recommend reline if the pipe is borderline. Better to know than blow it apart.
Most homes never need a routine inspection until there’s a symptom. But if you’ve had repeated blockages, large trees within 6m of the sewer line, or you’ve just bought an older house, a one-off camera survey is a sensible spend — you’ll know whether you’re sitting on a future $20k bill or whether the line is sound for another 30 years.
We’ll show you the footage on the screen, explain what’s wrong, and give you a written quote with options — clear-and-monitor, spot repair, full reline, or replacement. No high-pressure sales: we lay out the cost vs risk and you decide. If it’s genuinely an urgent safety issue we’ll tell you that, and recommend an interim fix until the proper repair is booked.
Yes — pre-purchase drain inspections are increasingly common, especially on Northside Brisbane homes built before 1980. We send a written report with photos and footage, suitable for inclusion in your due-diligence package. We work to your settlement timeline.
