Trusted Local CCTV Drain Camera Experts In Alderley
If you're dealing with a stubborn drain blockage in Alderley, the last thing you want to do is start digging up your garden or driveway to find the break. Our CCTV drain camera service allows us to inspect the internal health of your lines from the inside out, providing a clear picture of what is happening under your home.
Alderley’s local geography features a mix of hilly terrain and flat, lower lying pockets near the Alderley train station. This causes significant soil movement, which is the primary enemy of the old clay and terracotta pipes found in the area. When these brittle pipes shift, the joints pull apart, allowing dirt to wash in or tree roots to enter. Our Alderley plumbers use high-definition cameras to identify these specific "joint failures" so we can fix the exact spot rather than replacing the whole line.
Emergency CCTV Drain Camera Inspections In Alderley
Many drains in Alderley have been in service for decades and have become extremely fragile - often leading to emergency callouts. Using heavy mechanical tools to clear them "blind" can lead to a collapsed pipe, turning a small blockage into a major excavation.
When we conduct a camera inspection, it allows us to check the structural integrity of your pipes before we apply any pressure. We can see if the pipe is just dirty and needs a high-pressure flush, or if it has actually cracked and requires a trenchless pipe reline.
What Our CCTV Cameras Uncover in Alderley Drains
-
Invasive Roots in Old Pipes
Alderley’s beautiful leafy streets come with a hidden cost. Large, thirsty tree roots naturally seek out the moisture found in aging earthenware pipes. We use cameras to see exactly where these roots have pushed through pipe joints so we can clear them without having to dig up your landscaping.
-
Shifting Soil and Broken Joints
The ground in Alderley moves more than you’d think, especially on the hilly side of the suburb. This movement puts immense pressure on rigid old pipes, causing them to crack or pull apart. Our cameras locate these specific breaks, allowing us to perform a no-dig repair exactly where it's needed.
-
Heavy Grease Buildup
For businesses and apartments near the Alderley State School area precinct, grease buildup is a major issue. Our cameras allow us to see how much grease accumulation is inside the lines, helping us flush the system completely before it causes a messy overflow in a commercial kitchen.
-
Silt Buildup
Properties in the lower parts of Alderley often deal with silt and mud washing into stormwater drains after heavy rain. We use CCTV to check if your pipes are half full of sediment, ensuring your drainage is wide open and ready to handle the next big Northside storm.

Save Time and Money on Alderley Property Drain Repairs
Many homeowners in Alderley risk overpaying for major plumbing work because they don't have the full picture. A camera inspection is a small investment that often saves thousands by identifying the simplest, least invasive fix possible:
-
Remove The Guesswork
We see exactly what is causing the blockage before we quote. If your pipes are just full of silt, a thorough high-pressure flush is all you need. If there is a break, we can pinpoint the location to within centimeters, preventing us from digging up your entire lawn just to find a single leak.
-

Hidden Costs of DIY Drain Diagnosis In Alderley
Trying to diagnose a drainage blockage without actually seeing inside the pipes is expensive guesswork. In Alderley's older homes with old clay drainage, that guesswork can mean buying harsh chemicals that destroy already-fragile pipes, or hiring equipment that's completely wrong for the job and makes everything worse.
What Happens When You Work Blind
Without proper inspection equipment, Alderley property owners run into:
- Throwing Money at the Wrong Problem: We've been called to jobs where homeowners paid someone to clear a blocked drain three times, only to find out the pipe had actually collapsed and no amount of jetting was ever going to fix it. A camera inspection shows you straight away whether you're dealing with a blockage or structural failure, so you're not wasting money on treatments that can't possibly work.
- Blockages That Keep Coming Back: Clearing roots out of a drain does nothing if you haven't identified where they're getting in. We've seen cases where roots regrew into thick masses within two months because the cracks letting them in weren't found and sealed. Without seeing the entry points on camera, you're just clearing symptoms while the underlying problem keeps getting worse.
- Breaking Pipes That Were Still Repairable: Alderley's old terracotta and earthenware pipes are fragile after decades underground. Using too much pressure during jetting, or pouring corrosive drain cleaners down them, can shatter sections that could have been saved with gentler methods. A camera lets us assess the pipe's condition first so we know exactly how much force it can handle without falling apart.
- Missing Serious Damage Until It's Critical: That soft spot in your lawn or wet patch near your house foundation might be a cracked sewer line that's been leaking for months. By the time it becomes obvious, you're looking at thousands in soil remediation and structural repairs. Seeing the crack on camera early means you can fix it before it undermines your foundations or contaminates your property.

CCTV Drain Inspection Alderley FAQs
-
Alderley has a lot of older properties where the drainage hasn't been touched in decades. Before you spend money on a renovation, a CCTV inspection tells you exactly what condition the pipes are in so you can factor repairs into your budget instead of getting hit with surprises mid-build.
-
The camera shows the inside of your pipes in real time. We can see cracks, tree root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe material, joint displacement, collapsed sections, and any other damage. You get a clear picture of exactly what's going on underground without digging anything up.
-
Yes. We provide a written report with camera footage showing the condition of your drains, the location of any faults, and our recommendations. This is useful for insurance claims, pre-purchase negotiations, or just knowing what needs fixing now versus later.
-
Yes. The camera pinpoints exactly where roots have entered the pipe and how far they've spread. We can trace it back to the tree causing the problem and recommend whether root cutting, pipe relining, or a root barrier is the best fix for your situation.
-
Definitely. A standard building inspection doesn't cover underground drainage. Old clay pipes with root damage or cracks can cost thousands to fix. A pre-purchase CCTV inspection gives you the full picture so you can negotiate the price or walk away before settlement.
