A real person answers, day or night
See inside the pipe before you spend a dollar on digging
Call (02) 9072 0502 and we will put a camera through the line first, because guessing at a fault under sandy fill wastes money, while footage of the pipe tells you exactly what it needs and where.
Why a camera earns its keep on this hidden, sandy ground
Old plans, buried lines. A century of market gardens, cottages and then towers has left the drainage under these streets poorly recorded, so a sonde-tracked camera is often the only way to map where a line runs and how deep it sits.
Faults the jetter drives past. On the loose Botany sand beds a reblocking drain is usually cracked and taking in grit, and only a camera catches that break; clearing alone just flushes the symptom.

What a CCTV drain inspection covers
A camera inspection turns a hidden pipe into something you can see and decide about, so here is how we use it for local homes, apartment blocks and buried yard lines, each quoted up front:
Full camera survey
A self-levelling camera driven the length of the drain shows every crack, root, sag and grit deposit exactly as it sits, so the diagnosis rests on footage of your actual pipe rather than a plumber's hunch about what lies below.
Locating and depth
A sonde built into the camera head lets us trace the line from the surface and pinpoint its route and depth precisely, so any dig that follows lands over the fault instead of chasing a pipe blind across the yard.
Pre-purchase reports
Buyers of an older house or a strata unit get the drain surveyed before they commit, so a cracked or root-choked line under the paving becomes a known quantity to weigh up rather than an expensive discovery after settlement day.
Fault diagnosis
Recurring blockages, damp patches and slow drains get traced to their real source on camera, whether a fractured joint, a root ball or a belly holding water, so the repair that follows targets the real cause instead of the symptom.

Common problems a camera solves
Recurring blockages
A drain that clears then blocks again on the same spot within weeks has a physical fault, and the camera shows whether it is a crack drawing sand, a root intrusion or a sag holding water.
Hidden pipe cracks
A slow leak from a cracked line below the water table shows at the surface only as a damp patch, and the camera locates the exact break for a targeted repair rather than a whole-yard dig.
Unknown pipe routes
When nobody knows where a drain runs or which way it falls, a renovation stalls, and a sonde-tracked survey maps the layout first, so the design and the dig proceed on fact rather than guesswork.
Why a camera inspection is worth doing first
Skipping the camera and digging on a hunch is how drainage bills balloon, and on ground this hidden the guess is rarely right, so here is what an inspection protects:
Dig once, in the right place
Pay for the fault, not the fear
Buy and renovate with your eyes open
How it works
How a CCTV inspection works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Survey, locate and report
Once you give us the go-ahead, we drive the camera the full length of the line, trace and record any fault from the surface, then hand you the recording and a plain-English rundown of what the pipe needs and exactly where.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Mascot
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Mascot works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Camera inspections go wherever the ground hides the drains, out to Rosebery first, then the older homes of Tempe, the streets of Botany, low-lying Eastlakes and the apartment stacks of Wolli Creek, mapping every line before a shovel goes in.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV inspection questions Mascot locals ask
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually show?
A camera driven through the line shows cracks, root intrusion, sand ingress, sags and blockages in real time, so you see the true condition of the pipe rather than a guess about it.
Can you find exactly where a buried drain runs?
Yes, a sonde on the camera head sends a signal we trace from the surface, so we pinpoint the route and depth of a line even where the old plans through this filled ground are missing.
Why does a drain here need a camera rather than just a jetter?
On the loose sand beds a drain that reblocks is usually cracked and letting in grit, so a camera finds the fault a jetter alone would clear straight past and leave to return.
Do you provide a recording and report from the inspection?
You get the footage and a plain summary of what the camera found and where, which is exactly what a pre-purchase buyer or a strata committee needs before committing to any repair.
Can a CCTV inspection sort out whose pipe is whose?
Running the camera down to the boundary shaft reveals whether a fault falls on your side of the connection or the utility's, so the correct party carries the repair and its cost.
Is a camera inspection worth it before buying an older property?
Very much so, because a hidden cracked or root-filled drain under an older home or a strata block is a costly surprise that an inspection turns into a known quantity before you buy.
