A real person answers, day or night

Guesswork wrecks gardens, so we always look inside the pipe before we dig

Call (02) 9072 0592 and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will arrange a camera survey that shows exactly what is wrong underground, so any repair aims at the fault, not the whole yard.

Why the fault is so hard to see from above

On these blocks a drain can fail in places you would never dig on a guess:

Driveway crossings hide the cracks

Where an old clay line runs under a concrete driveway, years of car weight split it out of sight, so slow drainage there usually signals a cracked pipe, not simple build-up.

The lines are a patchwork

Decades of partial renovation leave new plastic joined onto original clay, and only a camera shows which section is actually failing and where the join sits.

The factory pocket runs heavier drains

Around the former Streets ice-cream factory off Henderson Street the ground took heavier use and bigger lines, so a survey there reads a very different drain from the cottage next door.

CCTV inspection services we run

One camera answers the questions behind every drainage job, from what is blocking a line to whether a pipe is worth relining or must come up:

Fault-finding surveys

Threading a self-levelling camera through the line, we trace it metre by metre to find the exact root mass, crack, dropped joint or collapse behind a blockage, so the repair that follows is aimed rather than exploratory.

Pre-purchase drain checks

Before you buy one of the affordable old cottages here, a camera survey of the sewer and stormwater reveals the hidden condition of pipe you cannot inspect any other way, turning a costly surprise into a known quantity.

Locating and mapping

With a sonde on the camera head, we record the exact depth and position of a fault on the surface above, so if digging is needed the access point is small and precise, not a hopeful trench across the lawn.

Post-work proof

After any clear or repair, a second camera pass records the pipe running clear and true, so you finish the job watching water move through sound pipe rather than taking a plumber's word for the result.

What the camera tends to find here

The survey tells a different story street by street:

The original workers' cottages

In the modest homes that went up when the station opened, the camera almost always finds shallow clay sewers with root-filled joints, the oldest pipe in the pocket.

The renovated and infill homes

Newer builds show clean plastic near the house, yet the camera keeps finding trouble at the boundary, where that work still ties into the street's clay main.

The shared and rear-access runs

On the tight streets, drains that cross a neighbour's line or duck behind a garage are exactly where a survey earns its keep, mapping a layout no plan exists for.

Common problems a camera solves

A survey settles the two questions that otherwise cost you twice:

The mystery blockage

When a drain keeps choking with no obvious cause, the camera finds the fixed fault behind it, usually a root-filled joint or a dropped section, so one accurate repair replaces a run of hopeful clearing.

Repair or reline

Deciding whether a pipe can be relined or has to be dug up is impossible from the surface, so the camera grades the damage and settles which pipe relining or excavation the line actually needs.

Why we camera before we quote

Looking first costs nothing and changes everything, because a repair built on a clear picture is the one that ends the problem:

It stops you paying twice

Clearing a drain without finding the cause fixes the symptom while the fault stays, so the same blockage returns, whereas the camera names it once and the repair ends it.

It keeps the dig small

Knowing the fault to the metre means opening one tidy access point instead of trenching a line on guesswork, sparing paths, plantings and driveways costly to reinstate.

It proves the outcome

A recorded before-and-after leaves you with proof the pipe runs clear and falls correctly, which matters as much for a sale or insurance claim as for your own peace of mind.

How it works

How a drain camera survey runs, step by step

Four steps take an unknown fault to a clear picture and a plan:

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0592 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Survey and diagnose

    Camera in hand, we feed it through the line, read the footage with you on the screen and log any fault by depth and position, so you leave knowing exactly what is wrong and what a fix takes.

  4. 04

    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 Turrella

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 Turrella 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

We run drain cameras well beyond here too, across Wolli Creek, Arncliffe, Bardwell Valley, Earlwood and Bardwell Park, reading the same mix of old clay and patched plastic under every street in the catchment.

Good questions, straight answers

Drain camera questions Turrella locals ask

What does a CCTV drain inspection cost?

The camera survey is part of finding the fault, which is why the call out and diagnosis cost $0 and any repair it points to is fixed in writing before the work begins.

How long does a drain camera survey take?

Most home surveys are done in one visit, and you watch the footage live on the screen, so you understand the problem the moment the camera finds it, not later in a report.

Can a camera really find a fault under my driveway?

Yes, because the camera travels inside the pipe itself, so a crack hidden under a concrete crossing shows on the screen and the sonde reads its depth and position from above.

Do you give me the footage afterwards?

Yes, we record the survey and can hand you the vision and findings, worth keeping for a property sale, an insurance claim or simply your own records.

Is a survey worth it before renovating an old cottage here?

Very much, because the original clay drainage under these homes is exactly what a renovation loads harder, so knowing its condition first stops a finished bathroom draining into a failing line.

Will I need to dig up the yard after the inspection?

Not always, since many faults the camera finds are cleared or relined with no real excavation, and where a dig is unavoidable it stays small and aimed precisely at the located spot.
