Your Choice Plumbers licensed team in uniform with branded vans, ready for all plumbing and emergency service needs in Melbourne.

You cannot fix what you cannot see. Our Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) drain inspection service provides non-invasive, high-definition visualization of your entire underground drainage system. At Your Choice Plumbers, we utilize the industry-leading Ridgid SeeSnake video inspection system to accurately diagnose and locate hidden defects, eliminating guesswork and preventing unnecessary excavation.

Our Expert Diagnostic System: Eyes Below Ground

Our Expert Diagnostic System: Eyes Below Ground

We use the most reliable equipment on the market to ensure precision and clarity in every inspection:

  • Ridgid SeeSnake System: This system provides exceptional picture clarity via its HDR (High Dynamic Range) capabilities and a self-leveling, highly flexible camera head, allowing us to navigate complex drain environments.
  • Pipe Range and Reach: Our equipment is effective for pipes ranging from narrow DN40 to large DN200 and features a rigid 60-meter cable, allowing us to push the camera long distances through pipes and around offsets often found in older drainage systems.
Verification & Quality Assurance for Clearing and Repair

Verification & Quality Assurance for Clearing and Repair

The camera is essential not just for locating, but for ensuring our hydro-jetting drain clearing is performed correctly and completely.

  • Pre-Jetting Check: We inspect the pipe first to identify structural damage (like cracks/collapses) before using high-pressure water.
  • Post-Jetting Verification: The camera is run immediately after clearing to confirm the blockage is gone and that the pipe walls are free of residue, grease, and scale. We use this visual check to guarantee the drain is running at maximum efficiency.
Beyond the Visuals: Locating the Exact Defect

Beyond the Visuals: Locating the Exact Defect

The key to an efficient repair is knowing the precise location and depth of the damaged pipe.

  • The Sonde Signal: The camera head features a built-in 512 HZ Sonde (transmitter). When the camera reaches a defect, our plumber activates this signal.
  • Pinpoint Accuracy: We use the specialised Ridgid NaviTrack Scout Locator tool above ground to trace the 512 HZ signal. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location and depth of the camera head with unparalleled accuracy.
What We Find: Defects Located by CCTV

What We Find: Defects Located by CCTV

CCTV inspection is the only way to verify the true condition of your drainage system. We provide conclusive visual evidence for defects such as:

  • Tree Root Intrusion: Locating the fine root hairs entering joints or caps.
  • Collapsed or Broken Pipes: Identifying structural failures (like the collapsed drain in our Glen Iris case study).
  • Pipe Offsets or Bellies: Finding areas where pipes have separated or sagged due to ground movement, causing slow drainage and recurring blockages.
  • Worn Fittings: Verifying the condition of old inspection openings, caps, and junctions.

Verification and Guarantee

We guarantee transparency. We provide our clients with high-definition before-and-after footage on the monitor, ensuring they see the defect, understand the required repair, and verify the successful outcome after any clearing or jetting service.
