The Importance of CCTV Drain Inspections for Melbourne Homes
Blocked drains are more than just an inconvenience — they can be a sign of serious plumbing issues hidden beneath the surface. Many homeowners are quick to grab a plunger or pour in some store-bought chemicals, but these “quick fixes” rarely solve the root cause of the problem. That’s where CCTV drain inspections come in.
At Solutions Plumbing & Maintenance, we use advanced drain camera technology to identify issues accurately and provide long-term solutions for Melbourne households and businesses.
Why Traditional Methods Fall Short
For years, plumbers had to rely on guesswork or costly excavation to find out what was causing drain blockages. This meant digging up pipes, disrupting gardens or driveways, and often spending more time (and money) than necessary.
With modern CCTV drain cameras, we can now pinpoint the issue in minutes without invasive work.
What Problems Can CCTV Drain Cameras Detect?
Drain inspections with CCTV cameras can uncover:
Tree root intrusions breaking into pipes
Cracked or collapsed drains
Accumulated debris and grease build-up
Foreign objects stuck in pipes
Misaligned or deteriorated pipe joints
These inspections don’t just fix today’s issue — they also help prevent future problems by showing early warning signs of damage.
When Should You Book a CCTV Drain Inspection?
You may want to consider calling a plumber for a camera inspection if you notice:
Repeated drain blockages
Gurgling noises in sinks or toilets
Slow-draining showers or tubs
Unpleasant odours from drains
Unexplained wet spots in the garden
Catching these signs early can save you from expensive repairs later.
Long-Term Benefits for Homeowners
Think of a CCTV drain inspection as a health check-up for your plumbing system. It gives you peace of mind knowing your drains are clear and working as they should.
For anyone planning a renovation or even buying a new property, getting the drains inspected is also a smart move — it helps avoid nasty surprises down the track.
