CCTV Drain Inspection Melbourne

What Are The Benefits of CCTV Drain Inspection?

With the rapid development in technology, processes and the way of living is becoming more efficient. Our team here at The Local Plumber use only the latest and greatest plumbing technologies to ensure that our team is ready when “issues” hit the fan. Here are the benefits associated with our Melbourne CCTV drain inspection service:

• Pinpoint Accuracy  – A live look at the state of the drain or pipe allows our emergency plumber to have a better grasp of what is happening. It allows us to understand the things going on inside the drain or the pipe network. By using a camera, we can visualise the state of the infrastructure and the scope of the damage. This technology replaces the traditional way of guessing which is causing the problem and where the damage is happening.

• Efficiency – This technology is cost-effective and time-effective compared to traditional approaches in detecting drain and pipe issues. All it takes is sliding down a camera into the drain or pipe to check for irregularities. It also gives our 24hr emergency plumber a better view of the factor behind the problem and its location.

• Non-invasive & non-destructive – Back in the day, repairing damaged pipes required digging and excavating them to have a better look at the damage and the state of the pipe. While this still may be the case for major drain blockages. With the CCTV drain inspection service, plumbers no longer need to do these as all it takes is to have a small camera investigate what is happening down the drain or pipe.

The Cost of a CCTV Drain Inspection Service

Cost is always a significant factor when availing of a service or product. At The Local Plumber, we make sure that each dollar spent brings ten-fold benefits to our clients. The simple answer is – it truly varies. Numerous factors contribute to the rise or fall of expenses associated with this service with costs varying from approx $150- $1,500*. Typically, a CCTV drain inspection covers the following:

• Accessing the drain and inserting the camera into the plumbing network.
• Navigating the CCTV through the pipe system and assessing for possible issues.
• After inspecting the drain, coming up with a report detailing the findings, including the damage identified and the state of the plumbing system.

Service costs can go up when there are issues or obstacles encountered while inserting or handling the CCTV tool through the plumbing system. In these instances, the 24 hour plumbing repair professional usually turns to additional tools to have better control over the CCTV camera.
