Auckland Drainage Experts

Good drainage starts with careful planning and proper installation. Pipeline Plumbing and Drainage handles public and private systems, repairs, upgrades and new drainlaying across Auckland, with clear advice and the equipment needed to get the groundwork done.

Public Drainage Connections

Council-approved connections installed outside your property boundary for new homes, subdivisions and developments across Auckland.

Work outside the boundary belongs to the council network, and it comes with its own approvals, inspections and paperwork. That is the part that holds jobs up when nobody has started it early enough. We handle the process and the digging, so the connection is ready when the rest of the site needs it.

We handle

  • Council-approved connections to the public network
  • Applications and inspection bookings
  • Connections for new homes and subdivisions
  • Reinstatement of the road or berm afterwards

Talk to us about a connection on 021 234 7200

Private Drainage

New drainage systems, alterations and upgrades completed within your property boundary for homes and building projects.

Everything inside your boundary is yours to maintain, which most people find out the day something backs up. We lay new lines, alter what is already there and put it in at the right fall so it keeps running. No guesswork about where the pipes went, because we mark it up before we cover it.

We install

  • New wastewater and stormwater lines
  • Alterations for extensions and new layouts
  • Gully traps and inspection points
  • As-built plans of what went in the ground

New Builds & Developments

Complete drainlaying for new homes and developments, coordinated carefully with builders, plumbers and other trades onsite.

Drainage goes in first and gets buried. If it is wrong, finding out later means digging up work that other trades have already built on top of. We get it right the first time, coordinate with the builder’s programme, and leave the site ready for the next stage.

We manage

  • Full drainlaying for new homes
  • Subdivision and multi-unit drainage
  • Coordination with builders and other trades
  • Council inspections at each stage

Drain Repairs

Damaged, leaking or poorly performing drains are assessed and repaired to restore reliable flow around your property.

A drain that keeps blocking has something wrong with it. Roots in a joint, a cracked pipe, a section that has dropped and holds water. Clearing it buys you a few months. We find the actual fault and repair that, so you are not booking the same job again next winter.

We repair

  • Cracked, collapsed and root-damaged pipes
  • Sections that have dropped and hold water
  • Failed joints and connections
  • Drains that keep blocking for no obvious reason

Drainage Upgrades

Older or undersized drainage can be replaced or improved to better support your property and its current use.

Older Auckland properties were drained for the house that was on them at the time. Add a bathroom, a minor dwelling or more roof area, and the original line was never sized for it. We work out what the property puts through now and lay something that carries it.

We upgrade

  • Undersized lines carrying more than they were built for
  • Old earthenware and concrete pipework
  • Stormwater for added roof and paved area
  • Drainage for minor dwellings and extensions

Excavation & Trenching

Our own excavators handle trenching and groundwork, keeping your drainage project organised within one experienced team.

Most drainage jobs need a machine. Ours are company-owned, so the digging happens when the drainlaying is ready for it rather than when a subcontractor can fit you in. One team, one programme, and nobody standing around waiting.

We dig

  • Trenching for drainage and services
  • Site cuts and groundwork
  • 1.7-ton and 5-ton excavators for tight and open sites
  • Backfill and reinstatement, left tidy

We had Pipeline Plumbing & Drainage carry out some maintenance plumbing work at our house in takapuna, and the team was professional, reliable, and easy to deal with. Jono in particular was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and took real pride in his work. He made the whole process straightforward and gave us complete confidence that the job was being done properly. We’d have no hesitation recommending Pipeline Plumbing & Drainage, and we’d always trust Jono and the team with any plumbing work on our property. Great service from a company you can genuinely rely on!

We recently had drainage work done at our property in Greenhithe, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Jonathan and his team were incredibly quick, efficient, and professional throughout the entire job. From day one, Jonathan was completely transparent about the process, the required work, and the costs involved, which gave us complete peace of mind. The team is clearly very experienced and trustworthy. They were super polite, respectful of our space, and did an amazing job cleaning up after the works were finished. Highly recommend Jonathan and the team at Pipeline Plumbing and Drainage to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality drainage work!

Working with Jono and his team was a great experience. They came up with a great solution and executed it brilliantly. They worked efficiently and professionally. They also fit into a timeline that meant we were able to borrow our neighbour's driveway. Would use again and highly recommend for both plumbing and drainage work.

Jonathan and his team have just completed some drainage work at my house. My experience has been 10/10 throughout the entire process. Jonathan was prompt with quoting, and on site to start the job soon after I accepted it. The work was done quickly, the site always tidy, and the communication throughout from Jonathan and his team was excellent. I would highly recommend.
