A real person answers, day or night
Guessing at what's underground costs more than checking
A camera turns an invisible problem into something you can actually watch on a screen. Call (02) 9072 0513 and a licensed plumber explains what the footage would likely show before any van is even booked.
Why a camera matters more on this stretch of coast
Three separate things can be going wrong under a Coogee property, and only a camera tells them apart:
- A steep fall toward the bay changes how a pipe is meant to sit So a camera checks whether the grade underground still matches what a property this close to the water actually needs.
- Decades-old earthenware under the pre-1940 cottages hides root intrusion nobody could ever spot by eye And a camera pass through that pipe shows precisely where a root has found its way in.
- Fine sand drifting off the dunes settles quietly in a joint long before anyone notices a symptom And only footage from inside the pipe confirms whether that's actually the cause of a slow drain.
CCTV inspection services we provide
Camera work built into nearly every job this crew does, part of the wider drainage range on offer here:
Pre-repair diagnostic inspections
Before quoting any repair, we run a camera through the affected line to pin down what's really wrong, root growth, sand, a shifted joint or something else entirely, rather than pricing a job on a hunch.
Pre-purchase drain inspections
Buyers and owners get a clear look at pipework hidden under an older cottage or apartment block, turning decades of unknown history into a documented condition report before money changes hands on the sale.
Post-repair verification passes
After any clearing or repair, a second camera run confirms the fix actually worked, so you see clean pipe on screen rather than trusting that a problem simply hasn't reappeared yet.
Locating and mapping drain runs
Where a drain actually runs under a block isn't always where old plans suggest, and a camera combined with a locator traces the real path before any digging is ever considered.
Good questions, straight answers
Common questions a camera answers
What's actually causing a recurring blockage
When the same section blocks over and over despite repeated clearing, only a camera reveals the fixed defect responsible, whether an offset joint, a root or a section that's genuinely lost its shape.
Whether a section needs digging up at all
A camera often shows that a compromised section can be repaired from the inside instead of excavated, which changes both the cost and the amount of the property that ends up disturbed.
Why checking before digging genuinely matters
Skipping the camera step almost always costs more later, not less:
- A guess-based repair fixes the wrong section Digging where you assume the fault sits, rather than where the footage actually shows it, wastes both the excavation and the money spent on it.
- An undocumented cottage drain is a real unknown at sale time Decades-old earthenware with no inspection history leaves a buyer or owner carrying risk that a camera turns into a known, priced fact.
- A slow-building fault in a holiday-let goes unnoticed longest Nobody living there full time is watching for the early warning signs, so a camera check catches what daily use alone would miss.
How it works
How a CCTV inspection works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Run the camera and explain what it shows
Your plumber narrates what's showing up as the camera moves through the pipe, pointing out the exact cause the moment it appears rather than saving the explanation for a written summary afterwards.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Coogee
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Coogee works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Seeing the cause on screen is what turns a repair quote into a decision you can actually trust.
Where we work
Areas we service
Camera inspections also cover Randwick, Clovelly, South Coogee, Maroubra, Bronte and Kensington, priced the same way whatever the footage ends up showing.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV inspection questions Coogee locals ask
On camera, does root growth actually look different to a build-up of sand?
Completely, roots show as visible growth breaking through a joint while sand shows as fine grit sitting along the pipe floor, two entirely different pictures on the same footage.
Buying an older cottage near St Brigid's, is a drain camera worth it before settlement?
Worth the small cost, a pre-purchase camera run reveals the true condition of pipework nobody can see, turning an unknown risk into a documented fact before you commit to buying.
After the job, do I actually get a record of the inspection?
Yes, you receive a clear explanation of what the camera found plus the fixed written price for any repair it points to, nothing left to a verbal description.
Is a camera inspection useful even if nothing seems blocked right now?
It can be, a slow-building issue like a shifting joint or an early root often shows on camera well before it ever causes a noticeable blockage at all.
Managing a rental for an owner who's interstate, can you send the footage to them directly?
Yes, footage and the written price go to whoever's managing the property, agent or owner, and nothing proceeds until it's approved in writing by the right person.
How long does a typical CCTV drain inspection take?
Access matters as much as the actual distance involved, so your plumber gives an honest estimate once they're standing in front of the job rather than a guess made over the phone.
