What is sewer & drain leak detection?
Sewer and drain leaks are silent because the lines are not pressurised — so acoustic methods alone won't find them. We use CCTV pipe-inspection cameras to see inside the line and tracer gas to confirm escape points, locating cracks, blockages, root intrusion and failed joints in your drainage system.
How our sewer & drain process works
- 1A self-levelling CCTV camera travels the drain to record its condition.
- 2We identify cracks, offsets, root intrusion and standing water.
- 3Tracer gas confirms where waste water is escaping the line.
- 4A locator marks the depth and position of the defect from the surface.

Sewer & Drain — frequently asked questions
Do you camera the sewer line?
Yes — CCTV camera inspection is the core tool for drains and sewers, and we pair it with tracer gas and pipe locating to mark any defect precisely.
Can you find a broken drain under the slab?
Yes. The camera shows the break from inside, and our locator marks its position and depth through the slab so access is minimal.
