Two Decades of Drain Camera Expertise in The Gap

For 20 years, The Gap Plumbing & Drains has been running cameras through the pipework of homes and businesses across The Gap and the wider Brisbane region. Our plumbers know the older clay pipes common throughout this leafy, bushland-fringed suburb, along with the root intrusion issues that come with the established gum trees and jacarandas lining local streets. We pair this local knowledge with modern CCTV drain camera technology to give property owners a clear, honest picture of what's happening beneath their homes. Whether you're chasing a stubborn blockage or need a pre-purchase drain inspection before settlement, our experienced team delivers an accurate diagnosis the first time.

Signs You May Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Is Something Wrong Beneath Your Property?

Slow-draining showers, gurgling toilets and bad odours from your outdoor gully are rarely random. In many Gap homes, these signs point to root intrusion from established trees, offset pipe joints or ageing clay pipework that has shifted over the decades. Left unchecked, a small crack or partial blockage can turn into a collapsed pipe, sewage overflow or a soggy, smelly patch of lawn.

Recurring blockages that clear temporarily after jetting, only to return within weeks, usually mean there's a structural issue further down the line that hasn't been identified yet. Without a proper CCTV drain inspection, plumbers are left guessing, which often leads to unnecessary digging, delays and higher costs. A drain camera inspection removes that guesswork entirely.

Buying or renovating a property in The Gap? Hidden drainage defects are one of the most overlooked issues during a purchase or extension, and they can prove costly if discovered after settlement or once concrete has already been poured.

    Our Solution

    How The Gap Plumbing & Drains Diagnoses Drains in The Gap

    The Gap Plumbing & Drains uses advanced CCTV drain camera equipment to inspect every metre of your pipework, from the kitchen drain through to the sewer connection at the street. Rather than relying on guesswork, we feed a waterproof, high-resolution camera through the line to see exactly what's causing the problem.

    • Sonde and pipe locating to map drain paths and depths before any digging
    • Blockage and defect diagnosis for cracked, collapsed or root-affected pipes
    • Post-jetting verification to confirm a line is genuinely clear
    • Relining suitability assessments for pipes needing trenchless repair
    • Pre-purchase drain surveys for buyers and renovators in The Gap

    Once we've identified the issue, we'll walk you through your options and provide a fixed price before any work goes ahead, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

      Common Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

      We're often asked similar questions about CCTV drain inspections, so we've put together detailed answers below. If you don't find what you're after, our team at The Gap Plumbing & Drains is always happy to talk you through it over the phone.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a small, waterproof camera through your drainage pipes so a plumber can see inside the line on a screen. It reveals blockages, cracks, root intrusion and other defects without any digging, giving you an accurate picture of what's happening underground.
      Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling toilets, bad smells coming from gullies or drains, and blockages that keep returning after clearing. If you're buying a property or planning a renovation, a CCTV inspection is also a sensible way to check the condition of the drainage before committing to anything.
      Yes. The camera is fed through an existing access point, such as an inspection opening, gully or the drain itself, so there's no need to break concrete or dig up your garden just to see what's going on. Excavation is only considered once we've confirmed exactly where and what the problem is.
      Absolutely. We provide footage from the inspection along with a written report outlining what we found, where it's located and what we recommend. This is useful for your own records, and it's also the kind of documentation insurers, builders and certifiers often request.
      It certainly can be. Drainage issues are one of the more easily overlooked problems during a property purchase, since they're hidden underground and out of sight during a standard building inspection. A pre-purchase drain survey can flag root damage, cracked pipes or ageing pipework before you're locked into a contract.
      Once we've identified the cause, we'll talk you through the options, whether that's clearing a blockage, cutting back roots, relining a section of pipe or a more involved repair. You'll always know the price before any work begins, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
