A real person answers, day or night
See exactly what is happening underground before anyone digs
Guesswork is the most expensive tool in plumbing. A camera inspection replaces it with recorded footage showing the fault, its position and its cause, so the repair that follows is the right one, quoted at a fixed price before work begins. Call (02) 9072 0504 to talk through what a camera run would show on your line.
Why drains around here hide their faults so well
- The housing stock is old and the pipes are older Federation-era homes across the leafy streets were laid with earthenware clay drainage, a material that cracks, offsets and loses fall as the decades pass, and none of that damage shows above ground.
- The tree canopy works underground Mature street trees and the bushland edge near the Ku-ring-gai Flying-fox Reserve push fine roots into every joint gap those ageing clay lines develop.
- The terrain hides the evidence This is a shale ridge falling away towards the Stony Creek valley, so a leaking line can seep into sloping ground for months without pooling anywhere a homeowner would notice.
What our drain camera work covers: a complete internal picture of your lines
Every inspection is recorded, narrated and logged against distance, so the findings translate directly into a repair plan. Whether the line is a sewer main under a Federation garden or a stormwater run beneath a station-side apartment slab, the camera tells the truth the symptoms only hint at.
Pinpointing the blockage
A camera run shows precisely where along an underground line a drain is blocking, how far the fault sits from the closest access point, and whether the culprit is invading roots, a collapsed joint or years of solid built-up debris.
Assessing clay pipe condition
Earthenware clay drains in the older housing stock crack, offset and lose fall as decades pass, and camera footage captures each fracture and displaced joint so you see the pipe's true condition rather than guessing from symptoms alone.
Mapping tree root intrusion
Fine feeder hairs enter through tiny joint gaps and thicken year after year, and a camera run records exactly which joints have been breached and how far the root mass has grown, which shapes the whole repair decision.
Checking stormwater lines
Roof water lines clogged with leaf litter and silt behave differently from sewer drains, and a camera inspection separates a simple debris build-up from a crushed or back-falled section before anyone starts digging up garden beds.
Pre-renovation and pre-purchase surveys
Buying into an older street or planning a renovation both justify knowing what lies beneath, and a recorded inspection documents the drainage condition before contracts are signed or new bathrooms connect into pipes of unknown health.

Common problems the camera solves
The drain that keeps reblocking
A line cleared by jetting that blocks again within months usually has roots regrowing through a breached joint, and only the recorded footage reveals that breach so the repair goes after the entry point rather than the symptom.
The fault nobody can find
Slow drainage across several fixtures with no obvious gully overflow often points to a sag or offset buried mid-run, and camera footage locates the defect precisely, sparing the yard exploratory digging that finds nothing.
Smells and damp with no visible source
A cracked earthenware line beneath a lawn can seep grey water underground for months, and a camera inspection traces that leakage back to the exact joint, which a surface inspection alone would never locate.

How it works
How an inspection runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Inspect and report
The camera is fed through the line via the nearest opening while the operator narrates what the lens sees, each fault is logged with its distance along the run, and the recording plus a plain-English written report is handed over before any repair conversation begins.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Gordon
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Gordon works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Footage that shows a simple blockage usually leads straight to our blocked drains service, while sewer main faults route to blocked sewer work, and either way the drainage hub holds the full picture.
Where we work
Areas we service
Bookings cover the whole district plus the neighbouring areas of Killara, Pymble, West Pymble, St Ives and Roseville, handled by licensed plumbers who already know which streets run earthenware clay, which run modern PVC and which back onto the root-heavy bushland edges.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain camera questions Gordon locals ask
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually involve?
A waterproof camera is fed through your drain while the operator records footage and logs distances, so every crack, root mass or offset joint is pinpointed without any digging or guesswork.
When should I book a camera inspection instead of a simple clear?
If a drain keeps blocking after jetting, smells persist or several fixtures back up together, the footage exposes the underlying fault so the repair targets the cause rather than the symptom.
Can the camera really see tree roots inside old clay pipes?
Yes, root intrusion shows clearly on screen, and because many older homes around here run earthenware clay lines, the footage also reveals cracked joints and lost fall that keep inviting roots back.
How is the price for an inspection worked out?
After the camera run we hand you a fixed written price for any repair the footage justifies, with the call out costing nothing, so you never pay for a quote or an assessment.
Do I get a copy of the footage and report?
You receive the recorded footage plus a plain-English report logging each fault and its distance along the line, which is what insurers, renovators and buyers usually ask us to provide.
Can an inspection tell me whether to reline or replace a drain?
It can, because the footage shows whether damage is localised at one joint or spread along the run, and that distinction decides between relining from inside and excavating the affected section.
