CCTV drain inspection is the fastest way to find out exactly what is going on inside your pipes without any digging or guesswork. Flowpro brings high-resolution camera technology directly to your Albany property, giving you a clear picture of blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections before they become expensive problems. Our licensed technicians cover Albany and the wider North Shore with prompt, professional service.
What Is CCTV Drain Inspection?
A CCTV drain inspection involves feeding a small, waterproof camera through your drainage pipes to capture real-time footage of their condition. The camera transmits live video to a monitor, allowing our technicians to pinpoint the exact location and nature of any problem. There is no need to remove tiles, excavate gardens, or pull up driveways to find out what is happening underground.
This technology is used across Albany residential and commercial properties to diagnose recurring blockages, check the condition of old pipes, and verify repairs after work has been completed. It removes all uncertainty and means we only recommend the work that is actually needed. You receive a full report with footage you can keep for insurance or property records.
Flowpro uses professional-grade camera systems capable of inspecting pipes from 50mm to 300mm in diameter. Whether you are in a newer Albany subdivision or an older property with clay or cast iron pipes, our equipment is suited to the job.
Signs You May Need a Drain Camera Inspection
Some drainage problems are obvious, like a blocked sink or a toilet that will not flush. Others are quieter and build up over months before causing serious damage. A CCTV drain inspection is the right call when you are dealing with persistent or unexplained drain issues at your Albany property.
Common signs that warrant a camera inspection include slow-draining fixtures throughout the house, gurgling sounds from drains after water runs, foul odours coming from floor wastes or external grates, and recurring blockages that keep coming back after clearing. These symptoms can point to a partial blockage, a build-up of grease and debris, or a structural fault like a cracked pipe or tree root intrusion.
It is also worth booking an inspection before purchasing a property in Albany. Pre-purchase drain inspections reveal hidden problems that can cost thousands to fix and give you leverage in price negotiations. If you are planning a renovation or adding new drainage, a camera inspection confirms the current state of your existing pipes before any work begins.
How Flowpro Handles CCTV Drain Inspections in Albany
We follow a clear, thorough process so you know exactly what is happening with your drains from start to finish.
Our technician arrives at your Albany property at the agreed time with all the equipment needed to complete the inspection on the same visit. We start by locating the access point and preparing the camera for entry into the drain. The camera is pushed through the pipe while live footage streams to a monitor that both our technician and you can view directly.
As the camera moves through the drain, our technician narrates what they are seeing and flags any areas of concern. We record the full inspection so nothing is missed. Once complete, we mark the location of any faults on a site plan and explain our findings in plain language. If a repair is needed, we provide a quote on the spot so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
All inspection reports include timestamped footage, a written summary of findings, and recommended next steps. Flowpro covers Albany and surrounding suburbs, and we are available for urgent inspections when the situation cannot wait.

After the inspection, if repairs are needed, Flowpro can handle everything from drain unblocking and pipe relining to full pipe replacement. You do not need to call a second company. We carry the tools and materials for most common repairs, meaning many issues can be resolved on the same day as the inspection.

Yes. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common issues our camera inspections reveal, particularly in older Albany properties with mature trees nearby. The camera clearly shows where roots have entered the pipe, how severe the intrusion is, and what section needs attention. We can recommend the right repair option based on what the footage shows.
If our camera inspection identifies a fault at your Albany property, our technician will explain exactly what was found and provide a repair quote on the spot.
