Common Warning Signs

Could Your Property Be Hiding A Drainage Problem?

Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets and musty smells near your yard are rarely random. In many Jacobs Well homes, these symptoms point to tree root intrusion, an offset joint or a partially collapsed pipe sitting somewhere between the house and the council connection. Left unchecked, a small crack can widen into a full blockage or a collapsed section, turning a simple fix into an expensive excavation.

Stormwater issues are just as common, with blocked downpipes, overflowing gullies and flooded stormwater pits leaving puddles across lawns and driveways after heavy rain. Older sewer and stormwater lines around Jacobs Well are especially prone to root invasion thanks to the area's mature trees and sandy, moisture-retentive soil, while newer estates can suffer from poor original installation or debris left behind during construction.

Either way, guessing at the cause usually means unnecessary digging and repairs that don't actually solve the underlying issue. A proper drain camera inspection removes the guesswork, showing us the exact location, size and nature of the defect before a single shovel touches the ground.

    Our Solution

    How Jacobs Well Plumbing & Drains Diagnoses Your Jacobs Well Drains

    Jacobs Well Plumbing & Drains uses a high-definition pipe inspection camera to look inside your pipes without breaking concrete or digging up your garden. From boundary trap and disconnector gully checks through to full manhole-to-manhole sewer camera surveys, our sonde-equipped camera head locates the exact position and depth of any blockage, crack or root intrusion, giving us hard evidence rather than assumptions to work from.

    • High-definition push-rod and tractor drain cameras suited to residential, strata and commercial pipework
    • Sonde locating technology to map drain paths and depths before excavation, relining or slab work
    • Timestamped video footage and a written CCTV report for insurers, builders, certifiers and body corporates
    • Post-clean verification after jetting or root cutting to confirm the line is fully clear
    • Pre-purchase and pre-renovation drain surveys, including under-slab inspections without breaking concrete

    Once we've mapped the issue, we'll walk you through your options in plain language, whether that's a simple clean, targeted patch repair or full pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your CCTV Drain Inspection Questions Answered

      CCTV drain inspections raise plenty of questions, especially if you've never had one done before. Below, our experienced Jacobs Well team answers the questions we hear most often, so you know exactly what to expect.

      A small, waterproof camera is fed through your pipework on a flexible rod, sending a live video feed back to a screen our plumber monitors in real time. As the camera travels through the line, we can see the interior condition of the pipe, including any blockages, cracks, root intrusion or offset joints. Because the camera can reach sections of pipe that would otherwise require excavation to view, it gives us an accurate picture of what's happening underground without disturbing your yard or driveway.
      No, that's the main advantage of using a drain camera. The equipment is pushed through existing access points such as inspection openings or gully traps, so there's no need to break concrete or dig trenches simply to see what's going on. If the footage shows a defect that genuinely requires excavation to repair, we'll explain exactly why and where, so any digging that does happen is targeted and necessary rather than exploratory.
      A CCTV drain inspection can reveal tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed sections of pipe, offset or displaced joints, grease and scale build-up, sagging sections known as bellies, and foreign objects lodged in the line. It's also useful for confirming the general condition and material of ageing pipework, locating the legal point of discharge and verifying sewer connections, which matters a great deal if you're considering relining or planning renovations that might affect the drainage system.
      It can still be worthwhile, particularly if you're buying a property, planning renovations or dealing with recurring issues that never quite resolve. Drains can look fine on the surface while hiding a partially blocked or damaged section underneath, and a proactive inspection often catches these problems while they're still minor and inexpensive to fix. It's also a sensible step before major works like relining, extensions or landscaping that could otherwise damage pipes you didn't know were there.
      Yes, we provide the recorded footage along with a plain-language written report outlining what we found and where. This documentation is genuinely useful if you need to provide evidence to an insurer, builder, certifier or body corporate, or if you simply want a record for your own files. Having a clear report also makes it much easier to get an accurate quote for any repair work, since the exact defect and its location are already documented.
      We'll talk you through exactly what the camera has shown, in plain language rather than technical jargon, and outline the practical options available to fix it. Depending on what we find, that might mean a straightforward jet clean, root cutting, a targeted patch repair or trenchless pipe relining for more extensive damage. You'll have all the information you need to make a confident decision, and there's never any pressure to proceed with work on the spot.
