What Are Drain Camera Inspections All About?
Great question, they have become a staple of our plumbing services, it's almost like, we never leave home without one.
Drain cameras have revolutionised the plumbing industry. Delivering a diagnosis that is precise, fast and based on facts not fiction or guesses.
A drainage system can be complex. Many plumbing systems are hidden from view most of the time. Seeking professional advice as to what might be causing your blocked drains whether it's sewer pipes or stormwater drains, Network Plumbing has the capability to assess all plumbing services. From a blocked shower or toilet, your Sydney property may be suffering from a blockage by showing visible signs or symptoms laying in wait.
When To Use CCTV Pipe Inspection Cameras?
Gone are the days of guessing. While it might be an educated guess... it's still guessing all the same. Compare the accurate knowledge you gather from using a drain camera to the old school method of digging or breaking down walls or pulling up floors to inspect your drainage system. A camera inspection is a no brainer for your plumbing services. Less hassle, less destruction and faster diagnosis when you use a drain camera.
Our plumbers will implement the use of a drain camera for 3 main reasons.
Suspected Blocked Drains
Are symptoms of a blocked drain affecting your household? When the telltale signs of a blocked drain arise, enlisting the use of a drain camera to accurately assess either possible tree roots blocking your drainage system, foreign objects or materials impeding the follow can all be identified. Using a visual medium will give a clear idea as the reason behind the blocked drains.
A drain camera will identify all types of problems, from root intrusion, misaligned, broken, punctured, off-grade or corroded pipes. The camera also identifies grease build up, leaks and clogs. A video camera inspection is recommended if you experience repeated service backups, slow drains or clogs.

Inspect Past Plumbing Works
Network Plumbing believes in delivering the highest standard of plumbing services available. This also means offering a camera inspection to assess past works completed or a follow-up inspection of relined sections. An inspection can be carried out after any service is performed to verify that the line has been properly cleaned or repaired. Our customers appreciate that attention to detail.
Determine Potential Plumbing Problems
Do you know how old your plumbing system is? Do you know the type of materials that make up your plumbing service? Are your pipes earthenware, copper, PVC? Each particular material range will come with pros and cons. Knowing the potential risks your house and property are facing will possibly help you control the price for repairs if needed. Repairing a small section is more cost-effective than the price of a big repair.
A drain camera inspection will give you actionable knowledge on potential breaches as well as the age and condition of your services. You'll be prepared for all scenarios with a full range of visual knowledge at the ready.
Additionally, an inspection before you purchase a home will help ensure that sewer lines are free of problems that can cause headaches and expensive repairs after you move in.
How Does A Drain Camera Work?
Our plumber will insert a flexible rod with s high-resolution video camera on its tip into pipes from 5cm to 80cm in diameter. The flexible rod allows the camera to travel through the pipe (even around corners) to see the pipe in its entirety. Real-time video image transmission allows the technician to determine the condition of the pipe and diagnose any existing or potential problems.
Radio transmitters on the camera record the depth and physical location from the surface for any defects or obstructions so our plumbers can accurately diagnose and fix the problems in the service. There is no guesswork, so your problems will be resolved quickly and cost-effectively.
That means that if they do need to dig, they only need to dig up the area where the problem exists, and not the entire yard which saves you time and money.
