When a drain keeps blocking or you’re not sure what’s happening underground, a CCTV drain inspection takes the guesswork out of it. At Sureflo, we send a specialised camera down the drain to see exactly what’s going on — a blockage, tree roots, a broken pipe, or a collapsed section — without digging up your lawn to find out. Every time we unblock a drain for you, we run the camera through for free as part of the job, so if you keep having recurring issues we’re not just clearing the blockage, we’re finding out why it happened.

CCTV Drain Cameras are a godsend. Gone are the days of having to replace whole sections of pipework and scratching your head wondering what is down there. Now we know. With our Pearpoint P340 flexiprobe Pushrod Sewer Camera System we can inspect up to 120m of straight pipework. The system records video, distance measurements and notes our operators put in while the inspection is taking place. Then this can all be compiled into a report for the customer.
Services marked onsite can assist tradespeople using and connecting to them. But maybe even more importantly they can help prevent damage during other work. Not only can we locate exactly in the ground where your pipe is we also can find out how deep it is.
Many properties, especially in Northland have a lack of plans. We can help you discover your existing pipework and draw it up to keep with your records. Depending on the usage, higher or lower detailed plans are available.
When our CCTV Camera is down the drain it is constantly giving off a signal which we can pick up on our Rigid Scout Locator which not only locates above ground exactly where it is but also the depth below ground. This allows drainlayers and others to plan add on’s with accurate knowledge of pipe gradients. Perhaps most importantly we can locate the exact position of a blockage and excavate it without putting holes all over the back yard trying to find the issue.
CCTV drain inspections start from $190 + GST per hour. Most standard residential inspections are quick, so the cost is usually modest. And if we’re unblocking a drain for you, we run the camera through for free as part of the job — you only pay the hourly rate for a standalone inspection.
Common reasons include recurring blockages that keep coming back, buying a property and wanting to check the drainage before you commit, locating pipes before excavation or building work, or diagnosing a problem when you don’t know where it’s coming from. If a drain keeps blocking, a camera inspection usually finds the root cause.
The camera shows tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, blockages, misaligned joints, and general pipe condition. Because our system records distances, we can tell you exactly where a problem is along the pipe run — useful if repairs are needed. It can all be compiled into a report for you.
Yes. Many Northland properties, especially rural ones, have no drainage plans. Using our Rigid Scout Locator we can pinpoint your existing pipework above ground and its depth below, then draw it up as an asbuilt plan for your records — with higher or lower detail depending on what you need.
