🎥 Why CCTV Comes First: The Smart Way to Unblock Stormwater Drains

When it comes to blocked stormwater drains, there’s one golden rule at Turbo Plumbing Solutions: Don’t blast it until you’ve seen it.

Before the Penetrator powers up the hydrojet, we use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipework. It’s a small step that makes a massive difference—saving you time, money, and mess.

🧐 What is a CCTV Drain Inspection?

A CCTV inspection involves feeding a waterproof camera down the stormwater pipe. This gives us a live view of exactly what's going on underground—tree roots, crushed sections, silt build-up, or foreign objects.

With this footage, we can:

• Identify the precise cause of the blockage

• Pinpoint the exact location

• Avoid unnecessary digging or damage

• Ensure targeted and safe hydrojetting

🚫 Why You Should Never Hydrojet Blind

Hydrojetting is powerful. It uses high-pressure water to blast through tough blockages—but that force can crack or collapse already damaged pipes.

Without CCTV first, you’re flying blind. If there’s:

• A cracked pipe

• A collapsed section

• A hidden junction or sharp bend

…you’re risking a costly break or flood.

✅ The Turbo Process: Smarter, Safer, Cleaner

Here’s how we do it at Turbo Plumbing Solutions:

1. CCTV camera goes in first
   We assess the condition and layout of your stormwater system.

2. Diagnosis on the spot
   We show you the footage and explain the problem clearly.

3. Targeted hydrojetting
   Once it’s safe, the Penetrator gets to work—obliterating the blockage without damaging your pipes.

This process ensures efficiency and protects your drainage system for the long run.

🐌 Turbo Tip: Not All Plumbers Use CCTV
