"Eric arrived on the time scheduled and proceeded to diagnose a very complicated leakage problem of 20000 litres per day. He used the camera down the stormwater as the leak was from a broken copper pipe that fed into an agi pipe and then the stormwater. He was thorough, great to talk to and very competent. What a relief. Can't recommend Eric and the efficient team highly enough."

"This is the second time that I have used Bay Plumbing to clear a blocked drain, and both times I have been truly satisfied... Eric was happy to explain what he was doing and took no shortcuts, eventually identifying the problem as a dropped main sewer pipe. He reported the problem to Barwon Water on my behalf and made sure that the blockage was completely cleared... I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Lachlan and his team were exceptional. I contacted Bay Plumbing and Drainage with a concern about my drainage issue. Lachlan called shortly after. He explained everything with his expert knowledge in an easy way, generous with his time and quickly arranged for a cctv inspection the next day. Henry and Eric came on time and succesfully identified the issue in our drainage system. Thank you."

When Do You Need a Drain Camera?

A camera is the fastest way to find out what is wrong under the ground. You need one when:

  • A drain keeps blocking in the same spot
  • A plumber has quoted to dig up your yard
  • Slow drains, gurgling or bad smells
  • You are buying a house and want the pipes checked first
  • Before pipe relining or repairs, to map the fault
  • After heavy storms or flooding
  • You need footage and a report for an insurance claim
  • A new build or renovation needs the drains signed off

Clearing It Again Is Not a Fix.

If a drain keeps blocking in the same spot, there is a reason under the ground. A drain machine cuts a hole through the blockage and the water flows again. A few months later it is back.

Digging without looking first is guesswork, and you pay for the guess. A camera shows the real cause: a tree root, a crack, a sag in the pipe, or an old clay joint letting soil in.

We Look First, Then Fix It Properly.

Bay Plumbing & Drainage feeds a waterproof drain camera through your sewer or stormwater line and watches the live screen. You see the footage too, and we explain it in plain English.

Our camera carries a sonde, a small transmitter that lets us mark the exact spot and depth of the fault from above ground. So if a pipe needs relining or digging, we point straight to it. No guessing, and no digging up the whole yard to find one broken joint.

See What We See

Real jobs, real footage. This is what a drain camera inspection looks like on site.

You watch the footage with us, so you see what we see.

What the Camera Finds

Six faults we see most in Geelong drains. The camera shows which one you have, and where.

Tree Roots

The number one cause of blocked drains in older Geelong suburbs. Roots get in through the joints of old clay pipes. The camera shows how far they have spread.

Cracked or Collapsed Pipes

Broken sections that let soil in and water out. We see the damage on screen and mark exactly where it is from above ground.

Grease, Wipes and Debris

Build-up that narrows the pipe until it blocks. We see what it is, then clear it properly with a jetter or drain machine.

Sagging Pipes

Low spots that hold water and catch waste, so the drain blocks again and again. The camera shows where the pipe has dropped.

Offset or Misaligned Joints

Joints that have moved apart and snag waste on the way through. Often the reason a drain blocks in the same spot every time.

Old Clay Pipe and Corrosion

Worn pipe near the end of its life. We tell you straight whether it can be relined with no digging or needs replacing.

Frequently Asked

FAQs

What is a CCTV drain inspection?

We feed a small waterproof camera through your drain and watch the live screen. It shows where the fault is and what caused it: tree roots, a crack, a sag in the pipe or a blockage. You watch the footage with us. No digging is needed to find the fault.

How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost in Geelong?

It depends on how much pipe we camera and whether we clear a blockage at the same time. We give you one exact price before we start, so there is no bill shock. We often run the camera straight after clearing a blocked drain, which saves you a second visit.

Can you run a camera through a blocked drain?

Usually we clear the blockage first with a drain machine or high-pressure jetter, then run the camera through the clean pipe to see what caused it. That way you fix the real problem, not just the symptom.

Do I get to keep the footage?

Yes. You keep the footage and a written report that says what we found and where. It is handy for insurance claims, your conveyancer or your property records.

Can you find where the fault is from above ground?

Yes. Our camera carries a sonde, a small transmitter that lets us mark the exact spot and depth from above ground. If a pipe needs relining or digging, we point straight to it. Nobody digs up the whole yard to find one broken joint.

Do you do pre-purchase drain inspections?

Yes. Buying a house is the worst time to inherit a drain problem. We check the sewer and stormwater lines for tree roots, cracks and old clay pipe before you sign, and hand you the footage and a written report for your conveyancer or building inspector.

Do you inspect sewer and stormwater drains?

Both. We camera sewer drains, stormwater lines and under-slab pipes for homes, businesses and strata across Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast.

What happens if the camera finds a problem?

We show you the footage, explain it in plain English and quote the fix before we start. Cracked or root-filled pipes can often be fixed with no-dig pipe relining, so your driveway and garden stay in one piece.

When can you come out?

It depends on where you are and the jobs already booked. Call us and we tell you straight when we can be there.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. We offer a lifetime guarantee on all labour.
