What We Repair
Our licensed drainlayers handle all types of drainage repairs and installations across Auckland. Every repair starts with proper diagnosis using CCTV to ensure we fix the right problem.
Cracked & Broken Pipes
Ground movement, tree roots, and aging materials cause pipes to crack and break. We replace damaged sections with quality PVC that lasts.
Collapsed Pipes
Old earthenware and concrete pipes eventually collapse under weight or age. Complete section replacement with modern materials.
Tree Root Damage
Roots invade through cracks and grow inside pipes. We clear the roots, repair the damage, and prevent re-entry.
Ground Movement Damage
Auckland’s clay soil stresses pipes over time. We repair misaligned, cracked, and broken pipes caused by land movement.
Channel Drain Repairs
Plant growth and soil damage to channel drains. We repair or replace damaged sections and restore proper drainage.
Gully Trap Replacement
Broken, cracked, or failing gully traps replaced with new fittings. Proper installation ensures long-term performance.
Pipe Relining
Where excavation isn’t practical, pipe relining creates a new pipe inside the existing one. Minimal disruption to your property.
Full System Replacement
When repair isn’t viable, we install complete new drainage systems – stormwater, sewerage, and council connections.
