FAQs
Why should I book a camera inspection before upgrading my pipes in Seymour?
A CCTV camera inspection lets us see the exact condition of your pipes without digging. In Seymour’s clay soils, roots from large eucalypts and seasonal ground-movement often cause hidden cracks or misalignments. By pinpointing the problem first, we can design a targeted upgrade plan, avoid unnecessary excavation, and give you an accurate, up-front quote.
What kinds of problems can your inspection camera find?
Our high-resolution push-rod cameras locate tree-root intrusion, collapsed or bellied sections, corrosion, scale build-up, foreign objects, and illegal storm-water connections. We also map the pipe’s depth and location, creating a digital report you can keep for insurance or future real-estate transactions.
Will the camera inspection damage my yard or existing plumbing?
No. The camera is inserted through an existing clean-out, toilet, or small access hole, so there is no need to dig. The process is completely non-destructive and safe for PVC, copper, clay, and even fragile galvanised lines. When we finish, all fixtures are re-sealed and your property is left exactly as we found it.
How much does a camera inspection and pipe upgrade cost in Seymour?
A stand-alone camera inspection with HD recording and written report usually ranges from $250 to $400, depending on access and pipe length. If defects are found, minor spot repairs start around $350, while full pipe replacements generally run $120–$250 per metre for trenching, or $180–$300 per metre for trenchless relining. We always supply a fixed quote after the inspection so there are no surprises.
How long will the inspection and subsequent upgrade take?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. You can use your water soon after we finish. If an upgrade is required, a small section replacement may be completed the same day, whereas a full house re-pipe or trenchless relining normally takes 1–3 working days, depending on length and site access.
My home was built before 1980. Do I really need new pipes?
Many Seymour houses built before 1980 still have clay or galvanised pipes that are past their service life. These older materials are prone to rust, root penetration, and breakage. After we inspect, we can replace them with long-life PVC or PEX, or install an epoxy liner inside the existing pipe. Upgrading not only prevents leaks and blockages but can also boost water pressure and add value to your property.
