When to Book a CCTV Drain Inspection
CCTV drain inspections give a clear view of hidden pipe problems and help avoid costly surprises. Here are the most common times Auckland homeowners and businesses should arrange one.
1. Recurring Blockages or Slow Drains
If drains keep blocking or running slow, it usually means damage or obstruction deeper in the system. Issues like tree roots or cracked pipes are common in older suburbs and need to be identified early.
2. Before Renovations or Consent Work
Building near drain lines or applying for council consent often requires a drain inspection report. A CCTV survey provides evidence that meets Auckland Council and Watercare requirements.
3. After Flooding or Ground Movement
Heavy rain, flooding, or ground slips can damage pipes below the surface. A CCTV inspection reveals cracks, silt build-up, or joint failures that would otherwise go unnoticed.
4. Buying or Selling a Property
Drain surveys are now standard for older homes during pre-purchase or pre-sale checks. They uncover hidden faults, protect your investment, and give buyers or sellers peace of mind.
Delaying CCTV inspections can leave hidden faults to worsen into full pipe collapse, sewage leaks, or unexpected compliance failures. A simple survey provides certainty, prevents emergencies, and saves money on future repairs.

Why Book a CCTV Drain Inspection
CCTV drain inspections provide faster, more accurate, and less disruptive results compared to traditional methods. With high-definition cameras and detailed reporting, they give property owners clear insight into the state of their drains.
Key benefits include:
- Non-invasive diagnosis – No need to dig up gardens, driveways, or floors. Cameras enter through small access points, protecting surfaces and avoiding restoration costs.
- Superior accuracy – High-resolution footage shows cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections with exact location and depth. Every issue is documented for clarity.
- Fast reporting – Most inspections are completed within hours, with reports that meet Auckland Council and insurance requirements. Ideal for property sales, works-over consents, and renovations.
- Early fault detection – Small cracks, blockages, or misalignments are spotted before they escalate. This reduces emergencies, saves money, and extends the life of your drainage system.
CCTV drain inspections deliver certainty, compliance, and peace of mind while avoiding unnecessary disruption. Contact our team today to book an inspection and protect your property with accurate, professional reporting.
Our Process For CCTV Drain Inspections
We use CCTV drain inspections to find issues inside your drains without digging. The process is simple and gives you a clear report on the condition of your pipes.
Step 1: Assess and Plan
We start by discussing your situation, such as slow drains, bad smells, or council sign-off requirements. Based on this, we plan the inspection to suit your property and compliance needs.
Step 2: Inspect and Record
On site, we use drain cameras suited to your pipe size. The footage shows blockages, cracks, or root damage in real time. We then prepare a clear report, with video if needed for council or Watercare.
Step 3: Explain the Results
We go through the footage and report with you. Our team explains what the findings mean in plain language and answers any questions you may have.
Step 4: Provide Next Steps
If further work such as drain unblocking or repairs are needed, we outline your options and help organise what comes next. You leave with a clear plan, not just a report.
