Why CCTV Drain Inspections Matter in Point Lookout

On Point Lookout's tree-lined streets, roots from Melaleuca and Fig invade joints — CCTV pinpoints the exact intrusion point. A CCTV survey is the fastest way to diagnose a drain in Point Lookout. We record the footage, locate the fault to the metre, and show you the pipe's condition.

How High-Pressure Water Jetting Works

High-pressure water jetting clears drains that plungers and rods can't. A jetter cuts through root masses from Melaleuca and Fig and scours the pipe wall back to full flow.
