Why Camera Inspection?
WHAT IS CCTV DRAIN INSPECTION & WHY YOU NEED IT
At Unclog Drain & Rooter, CCTV drain inspection feeds a high-definition, waterproof camera through your pipes to show exactly what is happening inside — blockages, cracks, root invasion, grease build-up, and collapsed sections — without any digging. It is the fastest, least invasive, and most accurate diagnostic method available.
Full HD Video Evidence
Every inspection is recorded in Full HD. You receive timestamped footage plus a written condition report — essential for landlord compliance, insurance claims, and pre-purchase surveys.
Root Intrusion Detection
Tree roots silently crush clay and concrete pipes for years before a catastrophic blockage. Our cameras identify root entry points early so targeted cutting prevents full pipe replacement.
Pre-Purchase & Pre-Build Surveys
Buying property or planning construction? A CCTV survey reveals hidden drainage defects before you commit, protecting you from inheriting expensive repairs.
No Digging Required
Traditional diagnosis means holes in your garden, driveway, or floor. Camera inspection is entirely non-invasive — no mess, no property damage, no restoration costs.
Insurance & Compliance Reports
Commercial properties and landlords in Nairobi increasingly require documented drainage surveys. We provide fully formatted written reports accepted by insurers and property managers.

Do You Need One?
8 SIGNS YOU NEED A CCTV DRAIN INSPECTION
Most homeowners and property managers wait too long. If you recognise any of these warning signs, an Unclog Drain & Rooter camera inspection will pinpoint the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.
Recurring Blockages
If your drain blocks repeatedly despite being cleared, a structural problem — root intrusion, pipe offset, or partial collapse — is trapping debris.
Persistent Foul Odours
Sulphur or sewage smells from drains or the garden indicate a cracked pipe leaking effluent into surrounding soil.
Multiple Slow Drains
When several fixtures drain slowly at the same time, the blockage is in the shared main line — not in individual traps.
Gurgling Sounds
Air being forced back through the water seal makes a gurgling noise, signalling a partial blockage downstream restricting flow.
Wet Patches in Garden
Unusually green or wet patches in dry weather often indicate an underground pipe leaking into the soil beneath.
Buying a Property
A pre-purchase drainage survey is essential. Hidden defects can cost KES 200,000+ to repair — inspection costs a fraction of that.
Previous Failed Fixes
If a plumber has cleared your drain but the problem returned within weeks, camera inspection reveals the deeper structural cause.
Old Property (10+ Years)
Clay and concrete pipes used in Nairobi housing built before 2010 are prone to root intrusion and joint displacement. Periodic inspection is recommended.

Got Questions?
CCTV DRAIN INSPECTION — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything Nairobi homeowners and property managers ask Unclog Drain & Rooter before booking a CCTV drain survey.
What is CCTV drain inspection and how does it work?
CCTV drain inspection uses a high-definition, waterproof camera mounted on a flexible push-rod that is fed through your pipe system via an existing access point — a manhole, cleanout, or toilet pan. The camera transmits a live video feed to a screen on the surface so our engineer can identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe cracks, joint offsets, or collapsed sections in real time. The footage is recorded and you receive a written report with screenshots and our recommendations the same day.
How much does CCTV drain inspection cost in Nairobi?
Our CCTV drain inspection starts from KES 6,500 for a residential basic survey of a single line up to 20 m. A full residential system survey covering multiple lines costs from KES 14,500. Commercial and pre-purchase property surveys start from KES 28,000. All pricing is flat-rate — no call-out fees, no hidden charges. Evening and weekend rates are slightly higher; please see our pricing section for the current day and evening rates.
How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?
A standard residential CCTV survey typically takes 30 to 60 minutes on-site depending on pipe length and the number of access points. A full commercial or pre-purchase drainage mapping survey may take 2 to 4 hours. Your written report is delivered the same day digitally, with a printed copy available upon request.
Can CCTV inspection detect root intrusion in my drains?
Yes — root intrusion is one of the most common and clearly identifiable issues on CCTV footage. Our cameras show exactly where roots have entered the pipe, how much of the pipe bore they are blocking, and whether the pipe structure itself has been fractured. Following the inspection we can recommend targeted hydro-jetting with root-cutting nozzles to remove the roots, or pipe relining/replacement for severely damaged sections.
Do you provide a written report after the CCTV survey?
Every inspection includes a detailed written condition report, Full HD video footage, timestamped screenshots of all defects found, a pipe condition rating (A–D scale), and a recommended remediation plan with an indicative cost breakdown. Commercial clients receive a full pipe condition assessment document formatted for insurance and compliance submissions.
Is CCTV drain inspection disruptive to my property?
CCTV drain inspection is entirely non-invasive. No digging, breaking of tiles, or dismantling of fixtures is required. Our engineer simply accesses the pipe through an existing inspection chamber, cleanout, or — for smaller residential pipes — the toilet pan itself. You can continue using the property normally during the inspection and there is nothing to repair or restore afterwards.
Which areas of Nairobi do you cover?
We provide CCTV drain inspection services across Nairobi including Kilimani, Westlands, Karen, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Runda, Muthaiga, Lang’ata, South C, South B, Parklands, Gigiri, Upperhill, Riverside, Spring Valley, Hurlingham, Syokimau, and Thika Road. If your area is not listed, please contact us on +254746088030 or needhelp@unclogdrain.co.ke to discuss custom mobilisation.
Can I use the CCTV report for a property purchase negotiation?
Absolutely. Our pre-purchase CCTV survey reports are formatted to be accepted by solicitors, mortgage providers, and insurers. They include a clear pipe condition rating, identified defects with repair cost estimates, and photographic evidence — giving you the documented evidence needed to negotiate a price reduction or request that the seller carry out repairs before completion.
