Quote a pipe we have not seen
Every price starts with a camera. A number given over the phone is a number designed to be revised upward once someone is standing in your yard.
About us
Twenty-five yearsunder Melbourne.
We have been opening inspection shafts across this city since 1999. Relining is what we moved to once it became obvious how much of what we were digging up never needed to be dug up at all.

01 — Who we are
A drain business that stopped digging
The parent business, DrainPro, started in 1999 clearing blocked drains across Melbourne. For the first decade the answer to a broken pipe was always the same: excavate it, replace it, and hand the customer a second bill for the concreting.
Cured-in-place lining changed that. Once the technology matured, most of the jobs we were quoting as excavations could be done through an existing access point in a day or two, for less money and with nothing to reinstate afterwards. This site exists because that work deserves specialists rather than a line item.
What has not changed is how the work gets sold. We camera the line before we quote, we show you the footage, and we tell you when replacement is the better call. We lose jobs that way. We also do not get called back.
02 — How we work
Four things we will not do
Sell a liner that will not work
Collapsed pipe, crushed pipe and genuine back-fall cannot be lined. We say so, we show you why on the footage, and we quote the excavation instead.
Change the price on the day
The figure you approve is the figure you pay. If we find something the camera could not see, we stop and talk to you before anything else happens.
Leave without proof
Before footage, after footage, a written report and the warranty paperwork. If you are selling the property, that pack is the asset.

What people say afterwards
★★★★★
“Excellent job clearing and fixing the tree roots blocking our sewer pipe. Straight answers, no upsell, and the driveway never got touched.”
Rob C.
Camberwell · Sewer line, tree roots
★★★★★
“We had four plumbers come out. Nick was the only one who actually found the problem instead of guessing, and the camera footage proved it.”
Mary X.
Kew · Recurring blockage
★★★★★
“Nick has been maintaining and clearing our sewer pipes from tree roots for years. Customer service is 10/10 and the relining finally ended it.”
Ursula C.
Brighton · Ongoing root intrusion

Questions
About us — straight answers
Who actually turns up?
The same crews that have been clearing and repairing Melbourne drains since 1999. We are not a lead broker and we do not subcontract relining to whoever is free. If we book you in, our van arrives.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — VBA licence #43464 and Master Plumbers Association of Victoria membership #504231, with full public liability cover. We will put the certificates in writing if your body corporate or insurer asks.
What is the relationship with DrainPro?
DrainPro is the parent business and has been doing general drain work across Melbourne since 1999. This site is the relining arm — same licence, same trucks, same people, focused on one job rather than fifteen.
How many relining jobs have you done?
Enough that we will tell you when relining is the wrong answer. Across the group we have cleared, repaired and relined drains in over 130 Melbourne suburbs for more than two decades.
Do you do work for agents, builders and body corporates?
Regularly. We can quote per run, supply footage and written reports for a committee or a vendor statement, and stage work so no unit or tenancy is left without drainage overnight.
What areas do you cover?
All of metropolitan Melbourne from three depots, Oakleigh, Essendon and Ivanhoe. Our busiest postcodes are the inner east, the south-east and bayside, which is where the oldest clay drainage and the biggest trees are.
Why should I trust a 50-year warranty?
Because it is the liner manufacturer's warranty, not ours. We install to their specification, document the install on camera, and hand you the paperwork.
