A camera is the fastest way to find out what is wrong under the ground. You need one when:
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.
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.
Real jobs, real footage. This is what a drain camera inspection looks like on site.



Six faults we see most in Geelong drains. The camera shows which one you have, and where.
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.
Broken sections that let soil in and water out. We see the damage on screen and mark exactly where it is from above ground.
Build-up that narrows the pipe until it blocks. We see what it is, then clear it properly with a jetter or drain machine.
Low spots that hold water and catch waste, so the drain blocks again and again. The camera shows where the pipe has dropped.
Joints that have moved apart and snag waste on the way through. Often the reason a drain blocks in the same spot every time.
Worn pipe near the end of its life. We tell you straight whether it can be relined with no digging or needs replacing.
No guesswork. No upsell. You see the fault before anyone quotes a fix.
Speak to a local plumber, tell us what the drain is doing, and get the price before we start.
We feed the waterproof camera through the sewer or stormwater line and watch the live screen.
We show you what we found and explain it in plain English. No jargon, no guessing.
You get a written report with the footage. If it needs fixing, we quote it before any work starts.
We are not just general plumbers. Drainage is one of our core specialties. Master Plumber Lachlan Feehan and the Bay team have been Geelong's eyes underground since 2007. That means the footage gets read right, and the fix gets quoted honestly.
Homes, businesses and strata across the region, including all surrounding suburbs.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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