CCTV Drainage Camera Repair in New Zealand
Precision Repairs for CCTV Drain Cameras, Pushrod Reels, Camera Heads, Locators & More
When your CCTV drainage camera fails on-site, it brings your entire workflow to a halt. We specialise in diagnosing, repairing, and restoring professional sewer and pipeline inspection systems used by drainlayers, plumbers, civil contractors, and CCTV surveyors across New Zealand. From push rod cable damage to PCB-level failures, we deliver fast and reliable repairs that bring your equipment back to full performance — without the excessive cost of full replacement.

Our Core Services
These are integrated with the exact content your client provided — now shaped for clarity, expertise, and commercial appeal.

- Cable Re-Termination
- PCB Board Repair
- CCTV Locator Repair
- Technical Support
Push Rod Cable Re-Termination
The push rod cable is the most vulnerable part of any CCTV drainage camera system. Daily underground use causes strain, kinks, delamination, and signal loss.
We specialise in fast, accurate push rod cable re-termination, restoring:
- Full video signal
- Sonde transmission
- Structural push strength
- Reliable continuity across the entire length
This service often saves thousands compared to replacing the entire reel or camera system.
Component-Level PCB Board Repair (Instead of Full Replacement)
Most companies will ask you to replace a full PCB or camera head — which often requires expensive parts from overseas and long lead times.
Our technicians take a different, far more cost-effective approach:
We perform true component-level PCB repairs on camera heads, mainboards, and control units.
Common repair tasks include:
- Removing corrosion and mineral buildup
- Replacing failed resistors, capacitors, IC chips, and diodes
- Reprogramming and reflowing chipsets
- Fixing water-ingress damage
- Re-soldering connector pins
- Working with manufacturers when encrypted chipsets require authorised replacement
This approach drastically reduces downtime and repair costs — without compromising performance.
CCTV Locator Repair
Accurate locator performance is essential for survey data and compliance reporting. Frequencies must match the camera’s sonde output precisely.
We repair locator systems from Europe, Asia, and America, fixing issues such as:
- Weak or non-existent sonde detection
- Frequency drift
- Coil and antenna failures
- Damaged housings and connectors
- Charging or internal PSU failures
After repair, each locator is tested for frequency accuracy and long-range performance.
Insurance Claim Technical Support
When drainage camera equipment is damaged — whether through accidental impact, water ingress, electrical faults, or job-site incidents — insurance paperwork can slow everything down.
We streamline the process with:
- Detailed technical failure reports
- Precise diagnosis on cause of damage
- Support communicating with loss adjusters
- Technical evidence for repair vs replacement
- Liaison between your team, customer service, and the insurer
Our reports help ensure your claim proceeds quickly and accurately.
Other Common Issues We Repair
Because we work at both hardware and board level, we can fix the issues that many repairers outsource or decline:
Water-ingressed camera heads
Rolling or distorted picture
No video output
Depth counter inaccuracy
Fogged lenses or dim LED illumination
Intermittent, distance-dependent signal loss
Pushrod kinking, cracking, or continuity breaks
Corroded connectors (LEMO, Fischer, Molex, etc.)
Sonde weak signal or total failure
Monitor flickering or power cycling
If your unit fails only after 15–20 metres of push, this usually indicates a cable continuity or internal coax break — a fault we specialise in diagnosing quickly.
Why Drainlayers and Contractors Across NZ Trust Us
Specialist Technicians, Not General Electronics Repairers
Our team understands the unique demands of drainage camera systems — moisture, vibration, chemical exposure, underground strain, and delicate PCB assemblies. This means more accurate diagnostics and longer-lasting repairs.
Brand-Compatible Parts and Proper Waterproofing
We use correct sealing compounds, waterproof connectors, and brand-specific termination methods — not generic hardware-store alternatives.
Transparent Repair Documentation
Every repair includes:
- A structured diagnostic report
- Pre-repair findings
- Detailed repair notes
- Post-repair tests (video, sonde, pressure test)
- Depth counter calibration results
This level of transparency helps with both future maintenance and insurance claims.
Our Repair Process
Initial Assessment (Photos or Video)
Send us the fault, symptoms, or footage — we’ll identify likely issues before you send the unit in.
Bench Diagnosis (24–48 hrs)
We check signal pathways, PCB integrity, waterproof seals, pushrod continuity, sonde output, and monitor operation.
Fixed Repair Quote
Clear pricing. No surprises.
