Why a CCTV inspection

We don't unblock. We diagnose.

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

Nine common findings we see across Sydney drains every week.

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.

CCTV view of tree-root intrusion in a Sydney sewer pipe

Finding 01

Tree-root intrusion

Roots find pipe joints, expand, fracture. Leading cause of recurring blockage in Sydney homes 20+ years old.

CCTV view of a collapsed drain pipe

Finding 02

Pipe collapse

Earthenware or old PVC fractured by ground movement. Requires excavation or pipe relining.

CCTV view of pipe bellying — a section of pipe that has dropped low and now holds standing water

Finding 03

Pipe bellying

A section has sagged. Water sits in the low point, sediment collects, blockages start there.

CCTV view of hairline and spiderweb cracks in a drain pipe wall

Finding 04

Hairline cracks

Spiderweb fractures from ground movement or age. Caught early, relining beats excavation.

CCTV view of a misaligned drain pipe joint with debris collecting at the lip

Finding 05

Misaligned joint

Two sections offset by a few millimetres. The lip catches everything that goes past.

CCTV view of grease build-up inside a kitchen drain

Finding 06

Grease build-up

Years of kitchen wash-down forms a soft coating. A snake punches a hole; jet blasting clears the wall.

CCTV view of mineral scale and limescale buildup inside a drain pipe

Finding 07

Mineral scale

Crystalline limescale narrowing the bore. Different problem to grease — needs different chemistry.

CCTV view of a foreign object lodged in a residential drain

Finding 08

Foreign objects

Wipes (yes, even “flushable”), toys, jewellery. Camera locates, we extract without trenching.

CCTV view of rodent damage to a drain pipe wall

Finding 09

Rodent damage

Rats chew through PVC and bring soil into the line. Spot it before the pipe fully fails.

Jon Tsingolis, owner of Mr Splash Plumbing Sydney

A note from the owner

When you call, you get me — or someone I trained.

"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.

From the 1,232 reviews on Google

They ran the camera and showed me on the screen — root growth at exactly six metres down our line. Quoted me on the spot, fixed it the next morning. No upsell, no nonsense.

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.

★★★★★
Tom & PriyaManly

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.

Common questions

Answered before you ask.

How much does a drain camera inspection cost in Sydney?
Standalone CCTV inspections range from $180 to $450 across Sydney. Mr Splash includes a free CCTV inspection with any booked drain service.
What can a CCTV drain camera detect?
Tree-root intrusion, pipe collapse, bellying, cracks, scale and grease build-up, foreign objects, and the exact metre depth and location of any defect.
How long does a drain camera inspection take?
A standard residential inspection takes 45 to 90 minutes. Larger commercial systems can run two to four hours.
Do you provide a written report and footage?
Yes. You receive the camera footage plus a written report with damage location, severity, and recommended repair approach — emailed within the hour of the inspection.
Should I get a drain inspection before buying a property?
For any property over thirty years old, or one with mature trees nearby, a CCTV inspection identifies hidden drainage liabilities before settlement.
Can you do a CCTV inspection on the same day?
Yes. Mr Splash offers same-day inspections across Sydney metro, with within-the-hour emergency response available 24/7.
Can the camera find a leak without digging up my yard?
Yes — that's the entire point. The camera locates the issue precisely so any repair, if needed, is targeted rather than exploratory.
