Years Of Experience
A CCTV pipe inspection puts a camera through the drain so the fault gets found without cutting concrete or digging up a car park. Affinity Plumbing Solutions has run non-invasive fault detection for Brisbane schools, universities, hotels and body corporates since 2012.
Every job comes back with HD video footage and a detailed written report, marked up with the defect, the entry point and how far down the line it sits. We also carry out pre-build and post-build site audits, so pipework condition is documented before handover and checked again once works are finished.

Jet a blocked line without looking at it first, and you clear the symptom while the cause stays underground. Vitrified clay that’s already cracked can collapse under a jetter. A hose can get stuck in a line nobody has mapped. CCTV drain inspections tell you what you’re dealing with before the equipment goes in.

Half the value of a drain camera inspection Brisbane job sits in the gear, the other half in the knowledge of the plumber watching the screen. Cheap import cameras fail mid-run, and the inspection gets abandoned or rescheduled.
Pushrod for branch lines and small diameters. Tracked crawler cameras for mains and large stormwater, where a rod won't reach.
A sonde in the camera head gives position and depth from the surface. Same kit covers utility locating Brisbane-wide and underground pipe locating.
Full video, annotated stills of each defect, entry point and distance down the line, in one PDF emailed with the invoice.
Pre-purchase drain inspection before settlement. Pre-build and post-build audits on new work, so the pipework gets signed off in a state someone can verify.
We walk the site and find the inspection openings. Where there aren't any, a downpipe can come apart at the joint, or we drill a small access hole and plug it with a rubber gasket afterwards.
Pushrod or crawler goes down the line. Sections holding water get a fall check. Anything unusual gets recorded on the spot rather than described back to you later.
The sonde is traced from the surface for position and depth, then marked out. This is where pipe location services Brisbane clients rely on most, because underground service location Brisbane wide is what keeps the excavator honest.
Video, annotated stills and a written report, emailed with the invoice. Job number and purchase order on the paperwork.
The camera run, the sonde locate, and the report are the job. A static water pressure test and a meter leak test are included with it. Both take about five minutes with a gauge, and we don't line-item them, which is worth checking on any quote you're comparing. You also get a drawn plan of where the lines run, with depths marked, not just paint on the ground that washes off in the next storm. Anything structural we find gets priced after you've read the report, never before.
Usually no. The pan has a trap in it, and the head won't turn through it. Shower wastes don't help either, since a 40mm waste under AS3500 has a trap sitting directly below the grate. Proper inspection openings are the way in.
Some smaller camera heads will make it through a pan, and there are plumbers who scope sewer lines through the connecting pipework near a basin, so the honest answer depends on head size and where your IOs are. On a site with no IOs at all, we'll tell you that before we quote, not halfway through the visit.
Depends whether the line is fully blocked. In a live blockage you can't see past the water, so the camera goes in during and after the clear. On planned maintenance, the camera goes first, every time.
Yes. Video, marked-up stills and a PDF, emailed with the invoice. A report like this is what a QBCC claim or an insurance claim gets built on, which only works if the defect, its location and the date are all documented properly.
That's most of the job on older sites. One stormwater line turned out to have electrical conduit driven straight through it, after years of an eel being run down that pipe without anyone finding it. Another sewer had a star picket through it, causing intermittent blockages for a decade. Locate before anyone excavates. CCTV drain inspections paired with pipe location services Brisbane-wide give our vacuum excavation crew a marked target to dig to.
We run out of Brendale and cover Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and further south. CCTV pipe inspection Gold Coast jobs use the same crew and the same report format. Utility locating Ipswich sites is regular work for us. Same for utility locating Logan, where reactive soils make an accurate depth reading worth having.
Concrete comes up once. If the line hasn’t been camera’d and located first, you’re paying for the hole and the guess both. Send us the site address and what keeps failing. Call us or get in touch today.
