Drainage

We provide civil-grade expertise for your home, from clearing blocked laterals to installing septic systems. Our certified team ensures your property is dry and compliant with South Island weather.

Experts in drainage

We offer a comprehensive 3-waters service, managing the flow of stormwater, wastewater, and potable water. Our certified team handles the entire process, from excavation and pipe laying to final council sign-off and surface reinstatement.

Stormwater & soakage

We design and install robust systems to protect your property from flooding. Our capabilities include the excavation and installation of soakage pits (using boulders and filter fabric), retention tanks, and swales. We ensure effective runoff management that meets strict council discharge requirements, particularly in moisture-sensitive areas like Lincoln and Selwyn.

Sewer & septic systems

We are certified to install and repair sanitary sewer networks. Whether connecting your new build to the council main or installing a standalone septic tank and effluent field for a rural block, we manage the full scope. Our team holds specific licenses for pressure sewer systems and vacuum sewer pits, ensuring safe, compliant waste management for your home.

Repairs & Reinstatement

We don’t just dig the hole; we fix the problem and repair the surface. We use advanced technology to identify blockages and repair damaged pipes. Uniquely, because we are also roading and paving experts, we can seamlessly reinstate your driveway, lawn, or concrete paths to their original condition immediately after the drainage work is done.

Sustainability & responsible waste management

We strive for a “cleaner tomorrow” by minimising waste bulk. Our specialised mechanical shredder allows us to recycle old concrete and asphalt from your existing driveway, crushing it for re-use as a structural sub-base on-site to reduce your project’s carbon footprint.

FAQ

Have questions about demolition? Here are the answers to the most common things clients want to know before work begins.

Are your drainlayers certified?

Yes. Our team includes PGDB (Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board) registered Certifying Drainlayers. We hold specific licenses for gravity laterals, pressure sewer tanks, and vacuum sewer systems.

Can you fix a blocked drain?

Yes. We have the capability to investigate blockages using CCTV and clear them using hydro-jetting or excavation if a repair is required.

Do you handle the council inspections?

Absolutely. We manage the entire consent process, including pressure testing (M7 standard), chlorination for water lines, and arranging the final council inspections required for Code of Compliance (CCC).

Can you install a septic tank on my lifestyle block?

Yes. We are experienced in rural drainage, including the installation of septic tanks, effluent fields, and water storage tanks for properties not connected to the town supply.

Will you fix my driveway after digging it up?

Yes. We are a "one-stop shop." Once the pipe is fixed, our paving and concrete teams will reinstate your driveway, footpath, or lawn, so you don't need to hire a separate contractor.
