Drainage

CCTV drain inspection and jetting

A camera down the line and, where it is warranted, a high pressure jet that scours the pipe instead of punching a hole through the blockage.

5 items

A drain machine makes a hole. A jetter cleans the pipe back to its own wall, which is what actually resets a line that keeps blocking. We survey the run with the camera first so we know what we are jetting, cut roots where they have come through a joint, then camera it again so you can see the difference. It is the right call on main lines, on holiday lets, and on anything that has blocked more than twice.

Included in the price

  • CCTV survey of the run with above-ground locating
  • High pressure jetting of the affected line
  • Root cutting where roots have entered a joint
  • Before and after footage on a file you keep
  • Written recommendation on any pipe repair or relining

Why the camera goes down first

The camera before the jetter.

The camera goes down the line before the jetter does, so the fix matches what actually blocked it.

What it costs

$340 to $1180

A straight camera survey is the low end. Jetting a long main line, cutting established roots, or a pre-purchase survey with a written report and locating marks sits at the top.

Asked every week

Asked about this job.

What is the difference between jetting and a drain machine?
The machine cuts a path through the blockage. The jetter scours the inside of the pipe back to the wall. If a line blocks every year, the machine has only ever treated the symptom.
Can you tell me where the pipe is broken?
Yes. The camera carries a locator, so we mark the ground above the defect and tell you how deep it is before anybody digs anything up.
Is this worth doing before I buy a house?
On any home more than about twenty years old with mature trees in the yard, yes. It is the cheapest survey you will pay for and the one almost nobody does.

Reviews left for cctv drain inspection and jetting.

  • Good work on the drain and the camera footage was genuinely useful. Four stars only because the first appointment was rescheduled, though they did ring rather than just not turn up.

    Anthony R., Miami

  • Our main line had blocked three times in two years. They jetted it, cut the roots and showed us the before and after on the camera so we could actually see the joint they had come through. A year on, nothing.
