CCTV Drain Inspection for Auckland Homeowners and Businesses
When something is wrong with your drains, guessing is expensive. ASR Group Ltd provides professional CCTV drain inspection across Auckland, using camera technology that lets our technicians see exactly what is happening inside your pipes without any digging or disruption.
We work across the full Auckland region, from Henderson and New Lynn in the west to Pakuranga and Howick in the east, and from Orewa and Silverdale on the North Shore down to Pukekohe and Papakura in the south. Our team has hands-on experience with the wide variety of drain systems found across Auckland’s suburbs, including older clay pipes, modern PVC networks, and combined stormwater and wastewater systems.
What’s Included in Our CCTV Drain Inspection Service
When you book with ASR Group Ltd, you get a thorough inspection backed by equipment and experience. We do not just push a camera in and hand you a bill. You receive a complete picture of your drain condition along with clear guidance on what, if anything, needs attention.
High-Resolution Camera Survey
We use waterproof, high-resolution drain cameras that capture clear footage even in older, corroded pipes. The camera is pushed through your drain system while we monitor the live feed from above ground. Every section of pipe is recorded so nothing is missed and you have a permanent record of the inspection.
Detailed Fault Identification and Location
Our technicians log every fault found during the inspection, including blockages, root intrusions, cracked or collapsed pipe sections, displaced joints, and build-up of grease or debris. Each issue is recorded with its distance from the access point so that any follow-up repair work can be targeted precisely. This saves time and money compared to opening up ground based on guesswork.
Written Report and Recorded Footage
After the inspection, you receive a written report summarising the findings along with the recorded camera footage. This is particularly useful for pre-purchase inspections, insurance claims, or situations where you need documentation before drain repairs can be planned and quoted. If further work is needed, our team can discuss your options and provide a clear quote on the spot.

When Do Auckland Properties Need a CCTV Drain Inspection?
Drain problems are not always obvious until they become urgent. There are several situations where arranging an inspection early can help you avoid a much larger and more costly problem later. Auckland properties face specific challenges based on age, soil type, and the density of tree coverage in many residential streets.
Slow or Blocked Drains That Keep Returning
If your drains block repeatedly despite regular drain cleaning, there is usually an underlying structural issue causing the problem. Tree roots, a collapsed pipe section, or a heavily scaled pipe can all cause recurring blockages that cannot be fixed by jetting alone. A camera inspection identifies the root cause so the right repair is carried out the first time.
Older Auckland Homes with Clay or Earthenware Pipes
Many homes built before the 1980s in suburbs like Remuera, Mount Roskill, Glen Innes, and Titirangi were built with clay or earthenware drain pipes. These pipes are prone to cracking, joint separation, and root intrusion as the surrounding soil shifts over time. A CCTV inspection is the only reliable way to assess their current condition without excavation.
Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Auckland’s property market moves quickly, and drain issues rarely show up in a standard building report. Arranging a drain camera survey before you settle on a purchase can reveal expensive problems that affect your decision or negotiating position. Many buyers in suburbs like Manukau, Botany, and Manurewa now include a drain inspection as a standard part of their due diligence. If repairs are needed, you can also plan ahead with services like drain maintenance to keep things in order after settlement.
Do not wait for a blocked drain to become an emergency. Catching problems early through an inspection is always the more cost-effective approach.
Our CCTV Drain Inspection Process for Auckland Properties
Schedule Your Inspection
Call ASR Group Ltd or send an enquiry online to lock in a time that works for you. We cover all Auckland suburbs and aim to offer flexible scheduling, including urgent bookings where timing is critical. Our team will confirm your appointment and let you know if there is anything specific to prepare before we arrive on site.
Assess Your Drain Access Points
On arrival, our technician reviews the property layout and identifies the most suitable access points for the camera, such as gully traps, inspection openings, or cleanout points. We take note of any visible signs of trouble above ground before the camera goes in. This step ensures we focus the inspection on the sections of drain most likely to reveal problems.
Run the Camera Through Your Drain System
The camera is inserted and guided through the pipe while our technician monitors the live feed and records the full inspection. Any faults found are noted with their location and severity. For more complex drain networks, we can also use drain locating equipment to map the exact path of underground pipes.
Review Findings and Confirm Your Next Steps
Once the inspection is complete, we walk you through the footage and findings in plain language. You will receive a written report and recorded footage to keep on file. If repairs or further action are recommended, we provide honest advice and a clear quote so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
