Advanced CCTV Drain Camera Technology for Accurate Diagnostics
When you’re dealing with persistent drainage problems or mysterious plumbing issues, traditional methods of diagnosis can be invasive, time-consuming, and expensive. That’s where Lexity’s comprehensive CCTV drain inspection services in Melbourne come in, offering a non-invasive solution to identify blockages, damage, and other drainage issues with pinpoint accuracy.
Our state-of-the-art CCTV drain camera inspection technology allows us to thoroughly examine your pipes and drains without the need for excavation, providing you with a detailed report of your piping system’s condition while saving you time and money.
Complete Drainage System Analysis
Our Comprehensive CCTV Drain Inspection Services Include
Your property’s drainage system is more complex than you might think. Our CCTV drain surveys thoroughly examine:
- Main sewer lines connecting to Melbourne’s sewerage network
- Storm water drainage systems and downpipes
- Kitchen and bathroom drain pipes
- Underground drainage networks
- Trade waste drains for commercial properties
- Pool and spa drainage systems
Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Before investing in a property, understanding the condition of the pipes beneath is crucial. Our drain inspection services provide potential buyers with comprehensive assessment reports that can save thousands in unexpected repair costs.
Many Melbourne property buyers have discovered major drainage issues only after purchase, leading to significant financial stress.
Emergency Drainage Diagnostics
When you’re facing a plumbing emergency, our CCTV camera inspections quickly identify the problem’s source. Whether it’s a complete drain blockage, water leak, or structural damage, we’ll pinpoint the exact location within minutes, not hours.

Common Drainage Issues We Identify Throughout Melbourne
Tree Root Intrusion
Melbourne’s leafy suburbs mean root intrusion is a common problem affecting drainage systems. Tree roots are often responsible for a number of sewer blockages in residential areas.
Lexity CCTV method can identify even the smallest root penetrations before they become major blockages. Early detection allows for targeted treatment that preserves both your pipes and nearby trees.
Pipe Damage & Deterioration
Older properties throughout Melbourne often have ageing clay or concrete pipes susceptible to cracks and collapse. Melbourne’s reactive clay soils, which expand and contract with moisture changes, put additional stress on underground pipes.
Our inspections reveal structural issues that could lead to costly water damage if left untreated. We regularly find:
- Hairline cracks that allow root intrusion
- Collapsed pipe sections requiring urgent attention
- Corrosion in older galvanised pipes
- Joint displacement from ground movement
Foreign Object Blockages
From children’s toys to accumulated debris, our CCTV drain camera locates exactly what’s causing your blocked drain. This precision allows our plumbers to choose the most cost-effective removal method, whether that’s high-pressure water jetting or targeted retrieval.
Pipe Misalignment & Bellying
Ground movement, particularly in Melbourne’s reactive clay soils, can cause pipes to shift and create drainage issues. “Bellying” occurs when a section of pipe sags, creating a low spot where waste accumulates.
Our technology pinpoints these problems with millimetre accuracy, essential for planning trenchless repairs.
