CCTV Drain Inspections vs. Guesswork: Why Fraser Coast Homeowners Shouldn’t Gamble

Blocked or slow-moving drains are frustrating enough — but when you don’t know whats causing the problem, it’s easy to waste time (and money) on guesswork. That’s why more Fraser Coast homeowners, property managers, and builders are turning to CCTV drain inspections as a smarter, faster way to identify plumbing issues.

At Guaranteed Plumbing, we use high-resolution drain cameras to get clear answers — so we can fix the real issue the first time.

 


 

What Is a CCTV Drain Inspection?

A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a high-definition waterproof camera into your pipework. The live video feed shows exactly what’s happening inside your drains — including:

  • Tree root intrusion
  • Grease and fat build-up
  • Cracked or collapsed pipes
  • Misaligned joins
  • Foreign objects or blockages

We can also pinpoint the exact location and depth of any issues using a sonar locator. That means no unnecessary digging, no guesswork, and no delays.

 


 

When Should You Book a CCTV Drain Inspection?

If you’re in Hervey Bay, Maryborough, or anywhere across the Fraser Coast, here’s when a drain camera inspection is a smart move:

 Repeated Blockages

If your drain keeps blocking — even after being cleared — there’s likely a deeper issue such as roots, breakage, or bad pipe alignment.

 Before Renovations or Pool Installation

Planning a pool, extension, or new landscaping? We’ll help you locate underground plumbing so you don’t accidentally cut through it during excavation.

  Mysterious Smells or Dampness

If water is backing up or you’re noticing persistent smells, a camera can reveal hidden leaks or partial blockages inside the line.

  Before Buying or Selling a Property

A pre-purchase drain inspection gives peace of mind to buyers and can save thousands in repairs later. It also helps vendors prove the plumbing is sound.

 


 

Real-World Use Cases on the Fraser Coast

  • In Torquay, we located a cracked pipe under a client’s slab before they started a bathroom renovation — avoiding a major budget blowout.
  • In Granville, we identified tree roots choking a stormwater line that had flooded the yard three times in six months.

In Point Vernon, a client planning a new pool used our camera service to mark out pipe locations and avoid costly disruptions during excavation.

 


 

How We Use CCTV With Jet Blasting

CCTV is not just a diagnostic tool — we often use it before and after jet blasting. This allows us to:

  • Confirm the location of blockages
  • Ensure the line is completely cleared
  • Show clients a visual before-and-after of their pipes

We also provide inspection footage on request for insurance purposes.
