CCTV Inspections
CCTV Drain Inspections
For underground infrastructure
When you need a clear view inside your stormwater or sewer lines, our CCTV inspections provide accurate, real-time footage to help you diagnose problems quickly. At Locate Down Under, we combine specialist equipment with industry knowledge to identify blockages, breakages, or obstructions that could compromise your project. Our inspections form part of our broader underground service locator capabilities and are trusted by homeowners, builders, and local councils alike.
Seeing the Problem Before It Becomes One
CCTV inspections are essential when you suspect there may be an issue underground but don’t want to excavate blindly. Whether it’s a suspected blockage, tree root intrusion, cracked pipe, or collapsed drain, our high-definition cameras navigate the internal structure of pipelines and give us the footage needed to pinpoint the problem area. This proactive approach saves time, money, and unnecessary digging, while helping you plan targeted, effective repairs. We often work in combination with our pipe locating or stormwater and sewer markouts services to offer a complete underground assessment.

The Process Behind the Lens
We begin every CCTV inspection with a discussion about your concerns and site conditions. Our trained technicians then insert a waterproof camera into the access point of the pipeline and guide it along the drain using flexible push rods or motorised crawlers, depending on the pipe diameter. Live footage is relayed to our monitoring system, allowing us to identify faults as we go. We also provide recorded video and a detailed report outlining the findings, condition of the infrastructure, and any recommendations for further work or investigation.
