CCTV Drain Inspection for North Shore Homeowners
Blocked or damaged drains are a frustrating problem, and guessing at the cause wastes time and money. Flowpro uses professional drain camera technology to give North Shore homeowners a clear, accurate picture of what is happening inside their pipes before any repair work begins.
From Takapuna and Devonport to Birkenhead and Northcote, our licensed plumbers cover the full North Shore area. Our CCTV drain inspection service is thorough, non-invasive, and backed by a detailed written report so you always know exactly what you are dealing with.
What’s Included in Our CCTV Drain Inspection
When you book a drain camera inspection with Flowpro, you get more than just a look inside your pipes. You get a full assessment, a written report, and honest advice on what to do next.
High-Resolution Camera Survey
We use a flexible, waterproof camera that travels the full length of your drain line and records everything in high resolution. The footage captures blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and pipe corrosion in real time. You can watch the live feed on-site so nothing is hidden from you.
Detailed Fault Location and Report
Every fault we find is logged with its exact location within your drain system. Our plumbers measure depth and distance so any follow-up repair work targets the right spot the first time. You receive a written report with footage you can keep for your records or share with your insurance company.
Honest Repair Recommendations
Once the inspection is complete, our plumber will walk you through what was found and explain your options clearly. If your drains need drain repair and maintenance work, we provide a fixed quote before anything is booked. There is no pressure and no unnecessary upselling.

Signs You Need CCTV Drain Inspection in Your Home
Drain problems rarely fix themselves, and ignoring the early warning signs usually leads to bigger issues. North Shore homeowners should pay attention to these common triggers that call for a professional drain camera check.
Recurring Blockages That Keep Coming Back
If you are plunging the same drain every few weeks, there is likely a deeper issue causing the problem. Recurring blockages often point to partial pipe collapse, heavy root intrusion, or a grease buildup that standard drain clearing cannot fully remove. A camera inspection identifies the root cause so it can be fixed properly.
Slow Drains in Older North Shore Properties
Many homes built in the 1960s and 1970s across suburbs like Hillcrest and Glenfield still have original clay or cast iron drain pipes. These materials crack and corrode over time, allowing tree roots to enter and debris to accumulate. A drain unblocking service combined with a camera inspection is often the most efficient way to diagnose and clear the problem.
Unpleasant Odours or Gurgling Sounds
Foul smells coming from drains or gurgling sounds when water drains away are signs that something is wrong deeper in the system. These symptoms can indicate partial blockages, cracked pipes letting in soil gases, or drain venting problems. Catching the cause early avoids damage that can spread to floors, walls, and foundations.
Do not wait for a blocked drain to become a burst drain. Call Flowpro to arrange an inspection before small issues turn into costly repairs.

Assess Your Drain System On-Site
Our licensed plumber will walk your property, locate the drain access points, and review the layout before the camera goes in. For older North Shore homes, we check pipe material and age as this affects how we interpret the footage. This step ensures the inspection covers every relevant section of your drain network.
Run the Camera and Identify Faults
We feed our high-resolution drain camera through the pipe and record the full survey. Blockages, cracks, root invasion, and pipe deformation are identified and their locations mapped precisely. If a sewer issue is suspected, we can extend the survey further into the main line.
Review Findings and Plan Next Steps
After the camera survey, our plumber presents the footage and explains what was found in plain language. You receive a written inspection report and a clear recommendation for any repair work needed. If emergency repairs are required, Flowpro also provides emergency plumbing response across North Shore.
