If your houses have issues with the water system (drain or sewer, etc, just contact Drainspy, they have had more than 40 years experience, will know exactly what the reasons and solve them quickly. He just fixed my house's sewer sytem within the first hour, everything is clear and clean and professional. One of the best plumbers I have known so far in Brisbane (Note: his price is very reasonable, not expensive like others. Highly recommend!
We've had recurring blocked drains for years. Other plumbers just kept clearing them. DrainSpy found the actual problem - a broken junction allowing tree roots in. They relined the pipe and it's been perfect for 6 months now.
Called at 2am with a flooding sewer backup. They arrived within 45 minutes, diagnosed the problem with their camera, and had it cleared by 4am. The video report they provided was so detailed. Best drain company in Brisbane.
Absolutely incredible service. They showed me the CCTV footage of the tree roots blocking my sewer - I've never seen anything like it. The pipe relining was done in one day and the problem is permanently fixed. Highly recommend!

The sonde travels with the camera head, so it broadcasts from wherever the camera currently sits underground.
The locator estimates depth as well as position, which helps plan how far down a dig will need to go.
Metal objects, other utilities and electrical sources can distort the sonde signal and affect accuracy.
Understanding and prioritising findings turns the report into a clear order of action.
