Not Sure What's Blocking Your Drain?

Call Burnside Plumbing & Drains for a Clear View Inside Your Pipes

Burnside Plumbing & Drains provides professional cctv drain inspection services to homeowners, landlords, strata managers and business owners throughout Burnside and greater Sunshine Coast. Using a waterproof pipe inspection camera, we can locate drain blockages, root intrusion, offset joints, collapsed sections and cracked pipes without breaking a single tile or digging up your garden. Our vehicles carry the latest push rod camera and locator equipment, meaning we can usually diagnose most residential and commercial drains during the one visit.

If your drains are running slow, gurgling, or backing up more often than they should, don't wait for a small issue to turn into a costly repair. A recurring drain blockage is often a sign of a deeper structural problem that only a camera can properly reveal. Give our local team a call and we'll send a plumber with a camera out to your Burnside property to find the cause and explain your options in plain English.

Common Signs You Need a Drain Inspection

Why Is Your Drain Slow, Smelly or Blocking Again?

A slow drain, an unpleasant smell drifting up from a gully, or a toilet that keeps blocking are rarely random events. More often than not, these are early warning signs of tree root intrusion, a cracked pipe, or a belly forming in an ageing sewer line. Left unchecked, these small issues can turn into a collapsed pipe, sewage overflow, or extensive water damage beneath your slab.

Many older homes across Burnside still have earthenware or original clay pipework, which is particularly prone to offset joints and root infiltration over time. Renovations, new landscaping and even nearby council works can disturb underground pipes, leading to sudden blockages that a plunger or drain cleaner simply won't fix. If you're noticing recurring drain blockages, wet patches on the lawn, or a musty smell inside the home, it's worth arranging a proper pipe condition assessment before the problem escalates.

Trying to diagnose these issues without a camera usually means guesswork, and guesswork often leads to unnecessary excavation. A non invasive drain inspection lets us see the exact chainage and cause of the blockage, so any repair work that follows is targeted and cost-effective from the start.

    Our CCTV Drain Inspection Solution

    How Burnside Plumbing & Drains Diagnoses Your Burnside Drains

    Burnside Plumbing & Drains uses advanced cctv drain camera equipment to inspect the full length of your pipework, from the kitchen drain and toilet drain through to the main sewer line connection. Combined with a sonde locator, we pinpoint the exact position and depth of any blockage or damage directly on the surface, meaning any excavation work required is precise rather than exploratory.

    • Locating drain pipes and mapping their exact path before renovations or landscaping
    • Sewer line inspection to identify root intrusion, offset joints and cracked pipe sections
    • Pre purchase drain inspection reports for buyers wanting peace of mind before settlement
    • Post-jetting verification to confirm a line is genuinely clear, not just temporarily flowing
    • Stormwater camera inspection to explain flooding, soggy ground or slow-draining pits

    Every inspection comes with a written cctv report and video footage, so you have clear evidence to support insurance claims, building certifications or simply your own peace of mind. If relining, patch repair or excavation is genuinely needed, we'll explain exactly why, backed by the footage, before any work begins.

      Common Questions

      CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs

      Booking a drain camera inspection for the first time often raises a few questions. Below, our experienced team answers some of the questions we're asked most often by Burnside homeowners and business owners.

      A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a waterproof pipe camera through your drainage system, sending a live video feed back to a monitor our plumber watches in real time. This lets us see inside pipes that would otherwise be completely hidden underground or beneath a concrete slab. We can identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, offset joints and other defects without needing to dig up your yard or break into walls to find the source of the problem.
      Common signs include drains that gurgle or drain slower than they used to, toilets or sinks that block repeatedly despite clearing, unpleasant smells coming from gullies or vents, and unusually wet or soft patches appearing in the yard. If you've tried clearing a drain yourself and the same blockage keeps returning, that's often a sign of a structural issue further down the line that only a camera inspection can properly reveal.
      Yes. By examining the pipe material, diameter, joints and the condition of the pipe walls, our camera footage helps us determine whether a section can be patched, whether the whole pipe is suitable for trenchless relining, or whether the damage is severe enough that excavation and replacement is the more sensible option. We'll always talk you through the footage and explain the reasoning behind any recommendation.
      Yes. Every inspection we carry out comes with timestamped video footage and a written, plain-language report outlining exactly what was found and where. This documentation is commonly accepted by insurers, builders, certifiers and body corporate managers who need clear evidence of a drain's condition before approving claims or works.
      Absolutely. Drainage issues like root intrusion, cracked pipes or ageing clay pipework are rarely visible during a standard building inspection, yet they can be costly to fix once you've settled on a property. A pre purchase drain inspection gives you a clear picture of the condition of the pipes before you commit, so you can negotiate with confidence or budget appropriately for future repairs.
      No. That's one of the main advantages of a CCTV inspection. The camera and locator allow us to see and map the condition of your pipes without any excavation at all. We'll only recommend digging if the footage shows a defect that genuinely requires it, and even then, using the exact chainage from the inspection means we can dig in the right spot rather than searching blindly.
