Why a CCTV inspection
Most blocked drains get treated like a one-off. But if it keeps coming back — or you're buying a property with mature trees, or your insurer needs proof of pipe damage — you need to know what's actually happening inside the pipe before you spend on the wrong repair. A camera answers that question in 60 minutes, on your driveway, with the footage on your phone.
What our cameras find
Each calls for a different fix. We quote only the one your line actually needs — and we show you the footage that proves the diagnosis.
Finding 01
Roots find pipe joints, expand, fracture. Leading cause of recurring blockage in Sydney homes 20+ years old.
Finding 02
Earthenware or old PVC fractured by ground movement. Requires excavation or pipe relining.
Finding 03
A section has sagged. Water sits in the low point, sediment collects, blockages start there.
Finding 04
Spiderweb fractures from ground movement or age. Caught early, relining beats excavation.
Finding 05
Two sections offset by a few millimetres. The lip catches everything that goes past.
Finding 06
Years of kitchen wash-down forms a soft coating. A snake punches a hole; jet blasting clears the wall.
Finding 07
Crystalline limescale narrowing the bore. Different problem to grease — needs different chemistry.
Finding 08
Wipes (yes, even “flushable”), toys, jewellery. Camera locates, we extract without trenching.
Finding 09
Rats chew through PVC and bring soil into the line. Spot it before the pipe fully fails.

A note from the owner
"We started Mr Splash because too many Sydney homeowners were paying twice — once to snake the drain, then again two months later when it blocked again. A camera fixes that. We see the actual problem and quote the actual fix."
Mr Splash is family-owned and licensed (Lic #306457C, Master Plumbers NSW). Every plumber on the team works under that licence. No franchisees, no third-party operators, no overseas call centres. One Sydney number, one team, one accountable owner.
Pricing — no surprises
A standalone CCTV inspection costs between $180 and $450 across Sydney. We include it free with any booked drain service — same tech, same camera, same written report.
The catch is there isn't one: we'd rather earn your repair work than charge you twice.

Pre-purchase inspection saved us forty grand. The CCTV found a collapsed section under the driveway the agent never disclosed. We renegotiated the contract that week.
Three plumbers had snaked our drain over eighteen months. Mr Splash put a camera down it and showed us the bellying. Fixed properly first time.
