Two Decades of Local Drain Knowledge

Why Gaven Trusts Our CCTV Drain Camera Inspections

Gaven Plumbing & Drains has spent 20 years working beneath the homes and businesses of Gaven and the wider Gold Coast, so we understand the clay soils, established gardens and ageing pipework common to this area. Our sewer camera inspection equipment lets us see exactly what's happening inside your drains without lifting a single paver or digging up your lawn. From older homes near Nerang Road through to newer builds around Pacific Pines and Highland Park, we've mapped, diagnosed and repaired thousands of drainage systems. That experience means faster answers, fewer surprises and a plan you can actually trust before any work begins.

See The Problem Before You Pay For The Fix

Book a CCTV Drain Inspection With Gaven Plumbing & Drains

Gaven Plumbing & Drains provides CCTV drain inspection Gaven residents can rely on when a drain is slow, smelly or blocking again after a recent clean. Using a high-definition pipe inspection camera, our plumbers can locate tree root intrusion, cracked joints, collapsed sections and offset pipes throughout your home's drainage network, from the kitchen drain right through to the sewer connection at the boundary. We then provide a plain-language written report with footage, so you know precisely what's happening and what your options are.

If you're dealing with a recurring blockage, planning a renovation, or simply want peace of mind before buying a property in Gaven or the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs, a camera inspection is the sensible first step. There's no digging, no guesswork and no inflated quotes based on assumptions. Call our local team today and we'll organise a drain camera inspection that fits around your schedule.

Not Sure What's Wrong Below Ground?

Common Signs You Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets and damp patches appearing on your lawn are rarely random. More often than not, they point to something happening deep inside your pipework, whether that's tree roots working their way through an old clay joint, a cracked pipe under the slab, or a section that's shifted and started to collapse. Left alone, these issues tend to worsen, leading to sewage backups, soggy yards and, in some cases, structural damage to paths or driveways above the affected line.

The trouble is, you can't see any of this from the surface, which is exactly why guessing at a fix rarely works. A CCTV drain inspection removes that uncertainty by sending a camera directly into the pipe, so our plumbers can identify the exact cause and location of the problem. Whether it's a stormwater line struggling after heavy rain or a sewer main that keeps blocking every few months, seeing inside the pipe is the only reliable way to know what's really going on.

    Our Solution

    Gaven Plumbing & Drains's CCTV Drain Camera Inspection Service

    Rather than sending a plumber out with a shovel and a hopeful guess, Gaven Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built drain camera inspection equipment to look directly inside your pipes. This gives us an accurate picture of pipe condition, blockage location and structural defects before any excavation or repair work is quoted. Our CCTV drain inspection service typically covers:

    • Blocked drain CCTV diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause and chainage of a blockage
    • Sewer main camera surveys from the gully or inspection opening through to the council connection
    • Stormwater CCTV surveys to explain flooding, slow pits or soggy ground
    • Under-slab pipe inspections to find breaks without breaking concrete
    • Post-clean verification footage after jetting or root cutting to confirm the line is clear

    Every inspection comes with a timestamped video and a written report you can keep on file, whether that's for your own records, an insurer, a builder or a certifier. Once we know exactly what's happening in the pipe, we can talk you through practical options, from a simple clean through to pipe relining or a targeted excavation, without unnecessary cost.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      Drain camera inspections raise plenty of practical questions, especially if you've never had one done before. Below, our experienced plumbers answer the questions we hear most often from Gaven homeowners and business owners.

      A small, waterproof camera is attached to a flexible cable and fed through your drain or sewer line, sending a live video feed back to a screen our plumber monitors as they go. This lets us view the inside of the pipe in real time, identifying cracks, blockages, root intrusion, corrosion or misaligned joints as we move along the line. Because the camera can travel through most standard pipe diameters, we're able to inspect everything from kitchen and bathroom drains through to the main sewer line, without needing to dig anywhere.
      It helps to have someone available at the start so our plumber can access the property, locate the relevant inspection openings and discuss any specific concerns you have, such as a particular fixture or area that's causing trouble. Once the inspection is underway, you're welcome to stay and watch the footage on screen or head off and let our team get on with the job, whichever suits you better.
      Yes, tree root intrusion is one of the most common issues our cameras pick up, particularly in older clay pipes with joints that have deteriorated over time. The footage clearly shows where roots have entered the pipe, how extensive the growth is, and whether the surrounding pipe has been damaged or displaced as a result. This information helps us recommend the right fix, whether that's root cutting and jetting, or a more permanent solution like pipe relining.
      Absolutely. Plumbing issues hidden underground are easy to miss during a standard building inspection, yet they can be costly to repair once you've settled on a property. A pre-purchase drain inspection gives you a clear picture of the condition of the drainage system, including any root intrusion, cracked pipes or ageing sections that may need attention, so you can factor that into your decision or negotiate with confidence.
      A CCTV drain inspection focuses on what's happening inside the pipe, showing blockages, damage and general condition. Drain locating uses a separate signal, known as a sonde, built into the camera head to determine exactly where the pipe runs and how deep it sits below the surface. We often combine both during the same visit, giving you an accurate map of your drainage system alongside a clear picture of its internal condition.
      Yes, our cameras are equally effective on stormwater and roof-water drainage systems. If you've noticed pooling water, overflowing pits or a soggy patch of lawn after rain, a stormwater camera inspection can reveal whether the issue is a blockage, a collapsed section, tree root intrusion or simply a pipe that was never installed to fall correctly.
