Blocked drains can be frustrating, especially when they keep coming back with no clear cause. That’s where a CCTV drain inspection makes all the difference. Instead of relying on guesswork or repeat unblocking jobs, we get a live view inside your drain system to find out exactly what’s happening and where.
Our high-definition camera system is designed to navigate through stormwater, household and sewer pipes, capturing every detail. We’re able to spot things like collapsed pipework, joint misalignments, tree roots growing through cracks, and even debris buildup that’s hard to see from the outside. Once we’ve identified the issue, we can give you a clear plan on how to fix it.
This service isn’t just for problem-solving. CCTV inspections are also useful if you’re renovating, buying or selling a home, or checking compliance for council approval. We can map out your existing drainage system, provide video footage, and give you peace of mind that everything’s working as it should.
At The Drain Unblockers, we believe in doing the job properly, and that starts with seeing the full picture. With no need to dig up driveways or tear apart gardens, our inspections save you time, mess, and money. Whether you’re in Central, West, South or East Auckland, we’ve got a local team ready to help.

Blocked drains often cause slow drainage, gurgling noises, and unpleasant smells. You might also notice water pooling or issues with toilet flushing. If these signs occur, it’s best to schedule a drain inspection before the problem worsens.
A CCTV drain inspection is highly recommended if you're experiencing recurring blockages, slow drainage, or unpleasant odours. It provides a non-invasive way to identify the exact cause of the issue, such as cracks, tree root intrusion, or debris buildup, allowing for a targeted and efficient solution.
Here are some DIY methods to try (for your blocked shower, sink and toilet drains):
1. Boiling Water – Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to dissolve grease or soap buildup.
2. Plunger – Use a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage.
3. Baking Soda & Vinegar – Pour ½ cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water.
4. Drain Snake (Plumber’s Auger) – Insert a drain snake to physically remove blockages.
When should I call Drain Unblockers?If the blockage persists after trying DIY methods, or if you notice multiple drains clogging at once, water backing up, or bad odors from multiple drains, it’s best to call an expert plumber.
To unblock an outdoor drain (Sewer drains, gulley traps etc.), first remove any visible debris, then use a drain rod to break up deeper blockages. Flush the drain with a garden hose or pressure washer, and for grease buildup, pour baking soda and vinegar before rinsing with hot water. If the blockage persists, call Drain Unblockers for high-pressure jetting or a CCTV inspection to check for tree roots or pipe damage.
Yes, CCTV drain inspections are completely safe for your drains. The cameras are specifically designed for plumbing use, ensuring they won’t cause any damage to your pipes. They help identify blockages, cracks, or other issues without invasive digging, making them one of the best ways to diagnose drain problems efficiently.
