Clearing a drain tells you it was blocked. It does not tell you why. If the cause is a root mass in a cracked clay joint, the machine that cleared it has bought you one season.

That is what the camera is for. We put it down the line, you watch the screen with us, and you keep the footage. What happens next is then your decision, made on what is in the pipe rather than on a quote for work you cannot see.

What we handle

  • The cause of a repeat or slow-clearing blockage
  • Root intrusion, cracked joints, collapses and bellies
  • Pre-purchase drain inspections before you buy
  • Checking the line after clearing, so you know it is actually clear
  • Finding a fault and marking it on the surface
  • Stormwater lines, downpipes and under-slab runs
  • Footage and stills you keep, for insurance, a builder or a strata report
  • A written summary of what we found when you need one

Why it's different up here

The Upper Mountains housing stock is old, and a lot of it still runs on original earthenware with mortared joints under gardens that have had eighty years to grow into them. That combination is why the same drains block again and again in Katoomba, Leura and Blackheath. It is also why a camera is worth running before you buy up here. A building and pest inspection does not go down the sewer, and a collapsed line under an established garden is a five figure surprise that turns up after settlement.

The things people ask

Do I get to see the footage?

Yes. You watch it live on the screen while we run the camera, and you keep a copy. If we are telling you a pipe needs work, you should be able to see the reason for yourself.

Should I get the drains checked before I buy?

On an older mountain property it is worth it. A building and pest inspection does not go down the sewer, and original clay lines under mature trees are the most expensive thing to find out about after you have moved in.

Can you fix what the camera finds?

Usually on the same visit for anything that clears, and we quote on the rest. We are licensed for drainage, so a repair, a reline or a dig does not mean bringing in another trade and waiting on their schedule.
