The short answer

CCTV Drain Inspection Explained

A CCTV drain camera inspection sends a waterproof camera through your drain to show blockages, cracks, root intrusion and pipe damage. The Plumbing Gang’s licensed Brisbane plumbers use it to pinpoint problems accurately, explain what we see, and recommend the right fix, whether that is clearing, relining or repair.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for. Great worker to have under your wing plumbing gang! Definitely recommend their service for anyone out there looking for a trusted and reliable company.
