5 Star Service 
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues faced by homeowners and property managers alike. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink, a backed-up toilet, or an unpleasant smell coming from the pipes, a blocked drain can be both frustrating and disruptive. In the past, resolving these issues often meant costly and time-consuming excavation. However, thanks to advancements in technology, CCTV drain inspections have revolutionised the way we approach drain blockages, offering a non-invasive, efficient, and cost-effective solution for clearing blocked drains on the Gold Coast.
At Oceanside Services, we use CCTV drain inspections to identify the root cause of blockages and provide quick and accurate solutions without the need for digging up your property. In this blog, we’ll dive into the benefits of CCTV drain inspections and how they help us clear blocked drains on the Gold Coast without the hassle of traditional methods.
What Is CCTV Drain Inspection?
CCTV drain inspection is a modern technique that uses high-definition cameras attached to flexible rods, which are fed into your drainage system. These cameras allow our technicians to inspect the condition of your pipes in real time and pinpoint the exact location and cause of blockages, cracks, tree root intrusions, or other issues.
The CCTV camera transmits live footage to a monitor, where our experienced technicians can view the internal condition of your pipes. This technology allows us to identify problems without the need to dig up your property or disrupt your daily routine. Whether it’s a minor blockage or a more serious issue, CCTV drain inspections provide us with a comprehensive view of your drains, making the diagnosis process faster and more accurate.
The Non-invasive Benefits Of CCTV Drain Inspections
One of the key benefits of CCTV drain inspections is that they are non-invasive, which means no digging, no destruction of landscaping, and no disruption to your property. Here are some of the top advantages:
Accurate Diagnosis
Traditional methods of diagnosing blocked drains often involved trial and error. Plumbers would dig up the yard, remove pipes, and sometimes even guess at the location of the problem. With CCTV drain inspections, we can accurately identify the location and cause of the blockage, saving time and money by directly addressing the issue.
Time & Cost Efficiency
Because we can quickly identify the source of the blockage using CCTV cameras, the time spent investigating the problem is significantly reduced. This means our team can get to work resolving the issue faster, saving you money on labour costs. Additionally, there’s no need for excavation, so you avoid the costs of repairing any damage caused by digging.
Minimal Disruption
With traditional drain-clearing methods, digging up your yard or driveway was often required. This could lead to significant disruption to your daily life, including the cost of repairs to your property. CCTV drain inspections eliminate the need for this invasive process. We can inspect your pipes and resolve the issue without any damage to your landscaping or property.
Identifying Underlying Issues
CCTV drain inspections are not only useful for diagnosing blockages but also for identifying underlying issues in your pipes. Our cameras can detect tree root invasions, cracks, corrosion, or misalignments in the pipes, which can lead to further problems down the line. By identifying these issues early, we can recommend preventive measures and help you avoid expensive repairs in the future.
Detailed Reports And Footage
After conducting a CCTV drain inspection, we provide you with a detailed report and a copy of the footage. This allows you to see exactly what’s going on in your drains and gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what needs to be done. Our technicians will explain the findings and provide recommendations for clearing blockages or repairing damaged pipes.
How We Clear Blocked Drains On The Gold Coast Using CCTV
Once the CCTV inspection has identified the cause and location of the blockage, our technicians will use the appropriate tools to clear the drain. Some common methods include:
High-Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear blocked drains on the Gold Coast. Using a powerful stream of water, we can clear out debris, grease, tree roots, and other materials that may be obstructing your pipes. This method is highly effective and doesn’t require any excavation.
Pipe Relining
In cases where the pipes are severely damaged, we may recommend pipe relining. This involves creating a new pipe inside the existing damaged pipe using a durable resin, effectively sealing the cracks and leaks. CCTV drain inspections allow us to assess the extent of the damage and determine if pipe relining is the best option.
Manual Clearing
For minor blockages, we may use more traditional methods, such as manual clearing, to remove the obstruction. However, the real advantage of using CCTV inspections is that we know exactly where to target the problem, making this process quicker and more effective.
