The team also helps homeowners recognise the warning signs of a blocked drain — gurgling sounds, sewage overflowing from gully traps, slow-draining toilets, showers or baths, water overflowing from downpipes during rain, and smells coming from drain grates.

CCTV Inspections for Peace of Mind

For customers wanting to understand the condition of their pipes, Discount Drainage offers CCTV drain inspections using cutting-edge equipment. This service extends to EQC and insurance drainage assessments, drain fault finding, pipe locating, inspections before new driveways or paths are laid, and pre-purchase drain inspections — useful for anyone buying a property who wants to know exactly what they're getting.

Commercial and Subdivision Work

On the commercial front, Discount Drainage delivers subdivision services and drainlaying, small commercial drainlaying, trenching for services, and CCTV inspection services for larger sites. The team has experience working on council-owned sewer and stormwater systems, and takes pride in delivering competitively priced solutions without compromising on quality or timelines.
