A real person answers, day or night
Guessing at drain condition wastes money more often than not
Footage settles an argument that theories never quite can. Call (02) 9072 0597 and a licensed plumber explains, in plain terms, what an inspection on your particular property would likely turn up.
What renovation paperwork never actually tells you
- Interiors get updated far more often than what's underneath them A kitchen or bathroom redone years ago in a brick-veneer home says nothing about the condition of the earthenware still carrying its waste away.
- Ground movement on this ridge stays quiet until it isn't A joint working loose or a root pushing through gives no visible sign above ground, the first clue is usually a slower drain, sometimes years after the damage actually began.
- Site plans rarely show where the drainage actually sits Whatever documentation exists for an older or extended property almost never lines up with reality once the run is properly filmed and measured.
CCTV inspection services we provide
Most bookings fall into one of two camps, either something's already gone wrong or you're checking before it can:
Repeat blockage checks
A drain that keeps choking despite regular clearing points to something structural rather than habitual, and running a camera through it identifies the exact defect so the next call is a repair, not another temporary clear.
Pre-build locating
Extensions and knockdown rebuilds both need to know precisely where existing pipework runs and how deep it sits, information a locating pass confirms on site well before a design gets finalised on assumptions alone.
Pre-purchase footage
Anyone buying or selling in Cromer can have the sewer line filmed end to end, giving both sides a factual record of root damage, cracked earthenware or a failing section rather than relying on what a building inspector cannot actually see.
Shared-line mapping
Semi-detached homes and small strata blocks tied into one connection benefit from having that run properly filmed and marked, so ownership of a given section is settled by evidence rather than an ongoing argument between neighbours.
Terrain that hides more than most
- James Morgan Reserve borders several established blocks quietly Properties near this pocket of bushland often assume their drainage is sound purely because nothing has backed up recently, an assumption a camera frequently overturns.
- Three separate housing eras drain into the same streets Original post-war cottages, 1960s and 70s extensions and newer knockdown rebuilds all tie into pipework laid at different times, and matching a fault to its actual era needs footage, not a guess.
- Rock and shale move differently to clay under pressure Pipe joints here shift in ways a flatter, clay-based suburb rarely deals with, which is exactly why symptoms alone are a poor substitute for actually looking.
Common reasons people book a camera
Fault won't stay fixed
When the same drain needs clearing every month or two despite working properly in between, a fixed defect is almost always the real culprit, and pinpointing that single spot on camera finally ends the cycle of repeat callouts.
Nobody knows what's below
Renovators working on an older block regularly discover nobody actually knows where the drainage sits until a design forces the question, and locating it early avoids a costly mid-build surprise once the concrete has already gone down.
Why a camera pass beats working from assumptions
Getting it wrong underground almost always ends up costing more, not less:
- Digging blind wastes money twice over Opening up the wrong spot, or missing the real cause completely, still leaves you paying for the actual repair afterwards, on top of a hole that achieved nothing.
- A property sale moves faster with proof on the table Neither side has to take the other's word for anything once footage exists, and that alone can shorten a negotiation considerably.
- Recorded footage becomes useful again later Comparing a future fault against an earlier inspection makes tracking what's changed, and settling any warranty question, considerably simpler than starting from nothing.
How it works
Booking a CCTV inspection, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 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
Film and explain
Your plumber threads a camera through the entire run, capturing every joint, root intrusion and worn section it passes, then talks you through what the footage actually means instead of leaving you to interpret raw video and a technical report alone.
- 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 Cromer
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 Cromer 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.
A licence and a warranty mean little if nobody can actually show you what's wrong underground, which is the entire reason this service exists in the first place.
Where we work
Areas we service
CCTV inspections also extend into Dee Why, Narraweena, Collaroy, Wheeler Heights and Narrabeen, with footage and a written summary handed over for every booking, whether the property sits on sandstone, shale or lower ground near the lagoon.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV inspection questions Cromer asks most
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually cost?
A camera booking made on its own gets its own fixed number, while one run straight after a clear is often rolled into that job's total, and either way nothing starts until a figure's confirmed.
How much of the day does an inspection eat up?
Most houses are done comfortably inside a single visit, and the footage plus a plain-English summary go home with you that same afternoon rather than arriving days later by email.
Do I actually own the footage once it's recorded?
Completely, the recording and the written notes are yours to keep once the job's done, useful later for renovation records, committee meetings, or just proving the property's condition to a future buyer.
Is whoever operates the camera a properly qualified plumber?
Always, every inspection is run by a plumber licensed under 275278C and fully insured, which is exactly the kind of professional standing you'd want behind footage used in a dispute or a property sale.
Is a camera really worth it on ground this mixed?
Very much so, since sandstone, shale and older clay all hide their faults differently below the surface, and actually seeing the pipe beats guessing from whatever symptom shows up at ground level.
Does an inspection come with any sort of warranty?
The inspection itself is diagnostic rather than a repair, though any fault it uncovers that our own team then goes on to fix carries our full Lifetime Labour Warranty from that point onward.
