Why CCTV Drain Inspections Matter in Pallara

Every drain job in Pallara starts with a camera. CCTV inspection reveals the true cause of a blockage — roots, grease, a collapse or a bad joint — so the fix is targeted. In Pallara's 1960s–80s brick + newer infill housing, pipe ages vary widely, so a camera is the only reliable way to tell an old joint from a modern run.

How High-Pressure Water Jetting Works

Water jetting uses a high-pressure stream to slice through root masses from Jacaranda and Eucalyptus. Unlike rodding, it cleans the whole pipe wall, so blockages return more slowly in Pallara.
