A real person answers, day or night
See what the drain is doing before you spend a dollar digging
A camera survey shows the crack, the root or the sand-choked joint exactly where it sits, so the repair is planned, not gambled. Call (02) 9072 0592 and book a plumber to run the camera down the line.
Reading a drain buried in sand
Sand hides the fault line
Depth and position matter here
What a CCTV inspection tells you
A camera turns a hidden pipe into a screen you can watch, recording every fault along the run so the plan and the price rest on evidence, not a hunch, and it earns its place in four ways:
Pinpointing the fault
The camera travels the full length of the drain and marks each crack, root mass, belly and open joint it finds, so the dig or the reline is aimed at the fault instead of chasing it blind down the line.
Locating depth and line
A sonde in the camera head lets us trace the pipe's exact position and depth from the surface, marking the run across the yard so any excavation is dug straight to it without opening any ground that never needed touching.
Proving a clear
Run again after a jet or a repair, the camera proves the work rather than assuming it, showing on the screen that the sand bed is gone, the roots are cut and the pipe is genuinely flowing wall to wall.
Pre-purchase drain checks
Before you buy an interwar bungalow on Hollywood or Pasadena Street, a camera run through the old clay drains reveals the hidden cracks, roots and back-falls that a building report never sees, so the pipes are known before the contracts are signed.
What the camera keeps finding here
Sand where the joint has gone
One camera for a whole stack
What a camera settles for you
Is it the pipe or just dirt
Whether a slow drain is greasy or hiding a structural fault is impossible to tell from the surface; the camera answers it in a minute and saves you paying to dig where a jet would do.
Where exactly the break is
Knowing a drain is broken is not enough to fix it, because on the flat grid a collapse can sit a metre off where the surface suggests, and the sonde puts the dig straight over it rather than beside it.
Why a drain keeps re-blocking
Repeated blockages that return within weeks always have a cause the camera can name, usually a cracked joint or a fine root catching debris, and seeing it is what turns an endless cycle of clears into a lasting repair.
Why a survey is worth it before a dig
A camera survey looks like an extra step until you count what a blind dig costs here, where the wrong hole wrecks a driveway and leaves the fault unfixed:
No more exploratory digging
A price built on evidence
Proof for a sale or a claim

Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Filmed and talked through
When you give the word, we feed the camera the length of the line, record the run, then sit with you at the screen and point out each fault so you understand what the pipe needs before deciding anything.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Monterey
A camera is only as good as the plumber reading it:
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Monterey works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Drain camera surveys across the neighbourhood
Our locating and camera work maps drains just as well in Beverley Park, Brighton-Le-Sands, Kogarah, Ramsgate Beach and Ramsgate, where the same sandy fill and ageing earthenware hide the very faults a survey is built to bring to the surface.
Good questions, straight answers
CCTV inspection questions Monterey locals ask
What does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
There is no call out fee, and the survey is quoted in writing before it starts; where it leads straight into a repair, we roll the finding into one quote.
How long does a camera survey take?
A standard house survey is usually done within the visit, longer only where the run is blocked and needs a jet first, and you leave knowing exactly what the pipe is doing underground.
Can a camera find where a drain is broken?
Yes; a locating transmitter in the camera head marks the pipe's line and depth from ground level, which on the flat grid matters because a break can turn up a metre from where you would expect it.
Should I get the drains checked before buying an old bungalow?
Absolutely; the interwar homes on Hollywood and Pasadena Street often hide original earthenware with cracks and roots that no building report will catch, so a survey is worth it before you sign.
Why do drains here need locating in the ground?
The loose sandy fill and a high water table on the western streets make a blind dig risky, so we plot the exact line and depth first to avoid a caved-in trench or a wrong dig.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes, you keep the recording and our written read of it, useful for deciding on a repair, selling the home or lodging a claim, and any work that follows carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty.
