CCTV drain inspections in Melbourne

A camera survey of your drainage line to identify cracks, tree roots, blockages and collapsed pipe.

Drain camera inspections and pre-purchase checks

A CCTV inspection shows the condition of a drain from the inside. We run a camera through the full length of the line and record the footage, locating any fault by position and depth from the surface. Repairs are then targeted at the section of pipe that has failed.

  • Fault position and depth located from the surface
  • Recorded footage supplied for your records, builder or insurer
  • Pre-purchase drain inspections
  • Tree root ingress, cracked and displaced joints, sagging and collapsed pipe

  • We received amazing service from AC Plumbing & Drainage. They sorted out our blocked drain quickly and explained everything clearly. Friendly, reliable and reasonably priced. Would definitely use them again!

  • We had heaps of issues with blocked drainage at our old property in the Darebin area. We didn’t really know what was going on, nor did the guys before AC. Driveway flooding became a bit of an issue. When we called AC he arrived the same afternoon and sorted it quick fast! He’s got all the right gear and set up. Actually, I’m writing this 3 months since his visit and no dramas! I’ve referred him to a couple of friends and they’ve both got good feedback... Would definitely use them again!

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most often. If your question is not covered here, call us.

  • How quickly can you get here?

    Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are based in Preston and work across the northern suburbs, so response times are short. For emergencies we will give you a realistic arrival time on the phone, and advise you on isolating the water or gas in the meantime.

  • What does a call-out cost?

    You receive a free quote before any work begins. We assess the job, explain what is involved and confirm the price with you. No work goes ahead until you have approved it.

  • Do you work after hours and on weekends?

    Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency plumbing and gas work.

  • Which suburbs do you cover?

    Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, Fairfield, Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Heidelberg West, Macleod, Greensborough, Bundoora, Mill Park, Epping, Lalor, Thomastown, Coburg, Brunswick, Fawkner, Glenroy and Pascoe Vale, along with the surrounding northern suburbs. If you are just outside this area, call us and ask.

  • Can you find a drain fault without digging?

    In most cases, yes. We run a CCTV camera through the line and record the condition of the pipe, which identifies the fault and its depth from the surface. Any excavation is then limited to that one location.

  • Do you do gas fitting as well as plumbing?

    Yes. We install and connect gas appliances, run new gas points, detect and repair leaks, and carry out carbon monoxide safety checks. Every gas installation is tested and certified on completion.
