How It Works
Getting professional plumbing help is easy. Here's our straightforward 4-step process from first contact to job completion.
Access Point Setup
We identify the best entry point for the camera — usually a cleanout, inspection opening, or gully trap — and set up our equipment with the monitor positioned so you can watch the inspection in real-time.
Camera Inspection
We feed the camera through your drain lines, recording footage and noting the location, depth, and condition of pipes at every point. We explain what we are seeing as the camera progresses through the system.
Problem Location
When issues are found, we use the camera's sonde transmitter and surface locator to mark the exact position and depth of the problem on the ground above — crucial for targeted repair work.
Report & Recommendations
You receive a USB with full footage, a written condition report with annotated screenshots, and clear recommendations for any repairs needed. If your pipes are healthy, we will tell you.

Professional Plumbing Services You Can Trust
CCTV drain inspection uses a waterproof camera mounted on a flexible cable to provide a real-time video view inside your drain and sewer pipes — revealing blockages, tree root intrusion, cracks, collapses, joint displacements, and other defects that are invisible from above ground. Tradetek Solutions uses high-resolution, self-levelling drain cameras with built-in location transmitters that allow us to pinpoint the exact position and depth of any problem from the surface, accurate to within centimetres.
We use CCTV drain inspection as a diagnostic tool, not a sales tool. The camera footage tells an objective story about your pipe's condition, which we explain to you in plain language as the inspection progresses. You see everything we see in real-time on our monitor. Every inspection includes a USB recording of the footage, a written condition report, and honest recommendations — if your pipes are in good condition, we'll tell you.
Common Plumbing Issues We Solve
1Recurring Drain Blockages
When drains block repeatedly, CCTV inspection reveals the underlying cause — tree roots, pipe damage, incorrect grade, or structural issues — so the actual problem can be addressed rather than just clearing symptoms.
2Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Sewer and stormwater pipes are expensive to repair if damaged. A pre-purchase CCTV drain inspection reveals the true condition of underground pipes, potentially saving you thousands in unexpected repair costs after settlement.
3Locating Hidden Pipes
Many properties have drain pipes whose location is unknown or not shown on plans. Our camera's built-in transmitter allows us to trace and mark pipe routes from the surface, essential for renovations and landscaping.
4Insurance & Strata Reports
Insurance companies and strata managers often require CCTV evidence to approve drain repair claims. We provide professional reports with timestamped footage, measurements, and condition assessments suitable for insurance and strata purposes.
