CCTV Pipe Camera Surveys

We push a camera crawler through the pipe to record live footage and pinpoint exactly what's going on inside — faults, blockages, root intrusion, or structural damage. You get a full written report with footage.

Ipek Camera Crawler

We use an Ipek Rovion camera unit — commercial-grade, colour, self-levelling. Clear footage of the full pipe run with real-time defect logging. Works in pipes from 100mm up to large-bore commercial and council infrastructure.

WinCan Report

Every inspection is coded using WinCan VX — the industry standard for pipe condition reporting. You receive a structured PDF report with footage, defect locations, grades, and recommendations. Accepted by QLDC and principal contractors.

Pipe sags and low spots where silt accumulates
Grease or debris buildup
Illegal connections and open ends
Post-jetting confirmation that the drain is fully clear
Pre-purchase pipe condition reports for property buyers
New subdivision and development sign-off surveys

When You Need It

CCTV drain inspection is the right call any time you need to know what's actually in the pipe — not just guess.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Queenstown property values mean a drain fault is a costly surprise. A CCTV inspection before you buy tells you the condition of the drainage — before it's your problem. Commonly requested on older Queenstown Hill, Arrowtown, and Frankton properties.

Recurring Blockages

If a drain keeps blocking, there's a structural reason. CCTV finds the root cause — cracked joint, root ingress, pipe sag — so you can fix it properly rather than clearing the same blockage repeatedly. Common on Queenstown's older sewer networks.

New Subdivisions & Developments

Drain Vision works with civil contractors and developers across Queenstown Lakes. We provide pre-handover CCTV surveys, as-built verification, and defect reports for subdivision drainage sign-off. WinCan reports accepted by QLDC.

Post-Jetting Verification

After clearing a blocked drain, a quick CCTV run confirms everything is fully clear and identifies any damage that caused the blockage. Available as part of a combined CCTV + jetting mobilisation — one visit, one cost.
