CCTV Drain Inspections in St Leonards
1000+ five-star reviews
CCTV drain inspections put a camera inside the pipe before anyone quotes a repair, so you find out precisely where a line fails and what fixing it should actually cost. We run the camera first, show you the footage, and only then price the work.
At Your Plumber St Leonards that diagnosis-first habit shapes every drainage job, from a stubborn backup to a line that keeps blocking. The St Leonards home page covers the full range of plumbing we handle beyond drainage.

A real person answers, day or night
Why guess, when a camera can show you the whole pipe
Gurgling, slow fixtures and repeat blockages all look identical from the kitchen sink, yet they trace back to entirely different faults. A push camera travels the run end to end and reports depth and distance, which means the dig or the patch goes exactly where the fault is.

Core drainage inspection services
Our camera work covers the full drainage diagnosis toolkit, and every inspection ends with footage you keep:
Blocked drain diagnosis
Locating the exact cause and position of a blockage before clearing begins, so the jetting head goes straight to the obstruction instead of guessing blind
Recurring blockage investigation
Finding the structural fault, root mass or misaligned joint that keeps causing the same line to block, rather than clearing the symptom again and again
Pre-purchase and pre-renovation checks
Assessing the condition of drainage under a property before you commit to buying it or building over it
Stormwater and sewer assessment
Verifying pits, junctions and connecting runs after surcharges, ground movement or nearby excavation
Post-repair verification
Re-cameraing the line after clearing or pipe relining to prove the fix holds water and flow is genuinely restored
Access, strata and the tower problem
Shared lines, shared decisions
Pits under pressure
Evidence over opinion
The faults a camera finds most around here
Roots regrowing at old joints
A line blocking every few months nearly always has roots returning through a joint, and clearing without seeing the cause simply resets the clock until the next backup, which is why we pair clearing with blocked drain diagnosis.
Storm debris after summer downpours
Intense storms on the paved precinct push silt and garden waste into pits and lines, and the camera confirms whether a slow line needs clearing, regrading or a full stormwater repair.
Odours with no visible source
A persistent smell near a gully can trace to a cracked pipe under the slab or a dry trap losing its seal, and the camera finds which without opening floors on speculation.

How it works
Our inspection process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0528 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Camera, locate and report
We feed the push camera through the full run, log the fault's distance and depth as we go, and play the footage back with you on screen so the decision ahead rests on what the pipe actually shows.
- 04
Backed for life
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 St Leonards
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 St Leonards 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
Our camera vans cover Crows Nest, Wollstonecraft, Naremburn, Artarmon and Greenwich as well as the home ridge, and every job finishes with the footage kept on file and a written diagnosis you can act on; if you are closer to the harbour side, see our plumber in Wollstonecraft.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain questions St Leonards locals ask before booking
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually show?
The camera records the pipe's internal condition in real time, so cracks, root intrusion, displaced joints, grease buildup and sagging sections all appear on screen with their exact position logged along the line.
Do you inspect drains in apartment buildings?
Yes, we regularly camera the shared drainage and basement pits of local towers, coordinating access, riser isolation and strata reporting with your building manager before the camera ever enters the line.
Will I see the footage myself?
You see exactly what we see, because we walk you through the recording on screen, mark the fault's location on your property, and hand over the footage for any quote you compare.
How long does a drain camera inspection take?
Most residential inspections finish within the hour from setup to findings, though lines with heavy root intrusion or many junctions take longer, and you always receive the fixed price before any work begins.
Why do the older southern streets block so often?
Cottages predating 1940 commonly sit above original clay drainage with jointed sections, and roots from established gardens and mature street trees find those gaps and thicken inside the pipe with every passing season.
Can an inspection help before I buy or renovate?
A pre-purchase or pre-renovation camera run reveals hidden faults beneath the property before settlement or construction, which protects you from inheriting a drainage repair bill somebody else left buried and undocumented.
