Out on another Auckland job.

A lot goes into a proper drain inspection.

From CCTV cameras and locating equipment to jetting units and reporting tools, every job starts with finding the issue properly first.

No guessing.
No digging for the sake of it.
Just clear answers and the right fix.

That’s how we’ve been helping Auckland homeowners, builders, and property managers for over 20 years.

Thought it was just a blocked drain…

Turns out there was someone else down there too 🐭

This was caught during a real CCTV drain inspection in Auckland. While rodents inside pipes aren’t something we see every day, it’s a good reminder that hidden drain issues can turn into bigger problems fast.

If your drains are slow, noisy, or smelling off, it’s worth getting them checked properly.

This all came out of one drain.

Tree roots don’t just sit outside your pipes.
They find their way in, grow inside, and slowly build up like this.

Most people don’t realise it’s happening until the drain blocks completely or starts backing up.

That’s why checking your pipes early matters.

A CCTV inspection shows exactly what’s going on before it turns into a bigger job.

Thought it was just a slow drain…

Turns out, there’s a bit more going on underground 🐭

This was captured during a CCTV drain inspection in Auckland and while it’s not an everyday find, it’s a good reminder that your pipes can hide more than just blockages.

If your drains are slow, smelly, or making noise, it’s worth checking properly.

A CCTV inspection shows exactly what’s happening inside, no guesswork.

This is one of the more unusual things we’ve found underground.

A gas pipe had been accidentally pushed through the sewer line during previous works.

From the surface, you’d never know.

This is exactly why CCTV drain inspections matter before and after building works.

It catches hidden issues early, protects everyone onsite, and helps avoid major repair costs later.

Looks harmless when it’s hot… until it cools inside your pipes.

This is one of the most common problems we come across: fat, oil, and grease buildup.

Once it hardens, it sticks to the pipe walls and catches everything else behind it : food scraps, wipes, debris.

That’s when slow drainage turns into a full blockage.

Best rule?
Let oil cool, then bin it. Don’t pour it down the sink.

🚨 Your drains are trying to tell you something, are you listening?

Most drain problems start small and turn into expensive repairs fast. Here are 5 warning signs you shouldn't ignore:

1️⃣ Slow-draining sinks or showers
2️⃣ Gurgling sounds from your pipes
3️⃣ Foul odours coming from drains
4️⃣ Water backing up where it shouldn't
5️⃣ A suspiciously lush or soggy patch of lawn 🌿 (this one surprises people every time)

A CCTV inspection catches the problem early before it becomes a $10,000+ excavation job.
