Hawthorne Plumbing & Drains provides professional CCTV drain inspection services across Hawthorne and greater Brisbane, using advanced pipe inspection cameras to see exactly what's happening inside your sewer, stormwater or drainage lines. Whether you're dealing with a recurring drain blockage, checking a property before purchase, or need footage for an insurance claim, our sewer camera inspection gives you clear answers instead of guesswork.

If your drains are gurgling, draining slowly or backing up, it's worth acting before a small issue turns into an expensive repair. Give our local team a call and we'll book in a drain camera inspection as soon as we can, arriving with fully stocked vans and the latest CCTV technology. We'll walk you through the footage, explain what we found in plain language, and outline your options with upfront, fixed pricing before any work begins.
Slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets and damp patches on the lawn are often the only warning signs of a much bigger problem happening underground. Tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, offset joints and cracked earthenware sections can sit hidden beneath the slab or lawn for years, quietly causing recurring drain blockages and structural damage. Without a proper drain camera inspection, many homeowners end up paying for repeated drain clearing without ever finding the real cause.
Older homes throughout Hawthorne are particularly prone to root intrusion, given the mature street trees and established gardens found in this part of Brisbane. Left untreated, these issues can lead to sewage backups, damp subfloors, unpleasant odours and even movement in the footings. A thorough pipe condition assessment lets us identify the exact chainage and cause of the problem before recommending patch repair, pipe relining or excavation.
Rather than digging up your yard or guessing at the cause of a blockage, Hawthorne Plumbing & Drains uses high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect the full length of your pipework and show you exactly what's going on underground. Our non-invasive drain inspection process typically includes:
This no-dig approach saves time, protects your garden and driveway, and means any repair work is targeted rather than exploratory.
Once we've located and diagnosed the issue, we'll talk you through your options in plain language and provide upfront, fixed pricing so there are no surprises once the work begins.
