What points to the cause

Symptoms & cause

Without camera footage, it is easy to misread a blockage as a simple clean when the pipe is cracked, full of roots, or damaged further down the line.

The right method

How it gets fixed

The camera records pipe condition, fault location, direction, depth indicators where available, and the likely repair path.

Service focus

Camera-first diagnosis

A self-levelling camera is fed through the line to record roots, cracked or displaced joints, collapses, and foreign objects — pinpointing the fault and its location along the run so any repair is quoted from footage, not a guess.

Before you book

Questions people ask

Do I need CCTV for every blocked drain?

Not every time. It is most useful for repeat blockages, property purchases, suspected roots, damaged pipes, or unclear outdoor drainage issues.

Can CCTV find tree roots?

Yes. Camera footage can show root entry points, root mass, damaged joints, and whether the pipe may suit relining or needs another repair.
