24/7 Drain Repair Services in Auckland

Common Drain Problems We Repair
Drains can fail in several ways, and these are the most common problems we repair across Auckland.
Tree roots often enter older clay pipes and cause cracks, blockages, and water leaks. If left untreated, they can break the pipe completely and require full replacement.
Pipes can crack or collapse due to age, heavy loads, or ground movement. This leads to blockages, flooding, and potential contamination if not repaired quickly.
Noises, bad odours, or constant blockages are signs of damaged or obstructed drains. Ignoring these symptoms can result in complete system failure and costly emergency repairs.
Heavy rain can overwhelm stormwater drains, especially if they are damaged or blocked. This can cause surface flooding and damage to driveways, lawns, and property foundations.
Sinking soil or soft patches often indicate leaking or broken drains below ground. Without repair, the pipe damage can worsen and create serious structural risks.
If these problems are not repaired quickly, the damage and costs will only increase. Flowpro provides 24/7 drain repair services across Auckland with licensed drainlayers, CCTV inspections, and proven repair methods to fix issues before they escalate.
Drain Repair Options and What Affects Cost
Different drain issues require different repair methods. Below are the main options we use to restore drains in Auckland, along with the key factors that affect cost.
High-pressure water jetting clears blockages such as roots, grease, and debris. This option is best for restoring flow quickly when the pipe is structurally sound.
Localised digging and replacement is used when part of the pipe is cracked or collapsed. It is effective for small sections but requires excavation and reinstatement.
A resin liner is inserted into the damaged pipe to create a new internal layer. This option avoids digging, reduces disruption, and is ideal for long runs with multiple cracks.
When a drain is severely collapsed or beyond repair, full replacement is required. This involves excavation and installation of new pipework to meet current standards.
At Flowpro, we provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden extras. Our team explains the repair method and cost upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Our process is clear and straightforward, so you know exactly what will happen from the first call through to final handover.

Jamie has been consistently helpful and responsive, always going the extra mile to ensure smooth coordination and top-quality outcomes. Every job has been backed by thorough QA, and the team strictly follows all required health and safety procedures, which gives us great peace of mind. Their pricing is fair and upfront, precisely the honest service we appreciate. We highly recommend FlowPro to anyone looking for a reliable, professional plumbing partner.

Super friendly, great communication, showed up on time, and fixed everything quickly and reasonably priced. Great service all around—definitely recommend! LindseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank all the team at Flowpro Plumbers & Gasfittersw for their fast, efficient and competent service. I explained my problem to the lovely lady on the phone who classed my leaking pipe as urgent. She promptly arranged a visit from one of their helpful plumbers to come out to me at my home. He identified the problem and fixed it in no time at all. I highly recommend and will definitely use this company again. Thank you so much. ShahabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a faulty hot water cylinder and no hot water at home. We called a plumber yesterday who without doing much investigation suggested we get a sparky to check the thermostat and the element or fully get a new hot water cylinder replacement. So we did as suggested and changed the thermostat and nothing changed and still no hot water. Today we arranged with Flow Pro LTD for someone to come and check it and the plumber immediately knew what the issue was and he even found a leak from another value which explains why our water bill was higher than normal. I would give 10 stars if I could. Their communications were great, clear and honest. They showed up on time and provided honest and expert advice and the entire job was done quickly, clean and tidy. Even better we saved thousands not having to buy a new hot water cylinder since the issues were just faulty valves. We will definitely be returning customers.

If you are experiencing recurring blockages, foul smells, or water pooling in the same spot, the issue is likely more than a simple blockage. Unblocking can clear temporary obstructions, but damaged pipes will continue to cause problems.
Signs such as gurgling noises, cracks, or soft ground above a pipe run point to structural damage. A CCTV inspection is the only way to confirm whether the drain needs repair or replacement.
Our team at Flowpro can carry this out and give you a clear plan for the next steps.
The cost depends on the repair method, depth of the drain, site access, and urgency of the job.
Basic repairs such as clearing or sectional replacements are cheaper than trenchless relining or full replacements. Additional costs may apply if reinstatement of paving, driveways, or landscaping is required.
At Flowpro, we provide fixed-price quotes so you know the total cost upfront. There are no hidden extras, and all pricing is explained before work begins.
Council consent is not usually required for minor repairs or unblocking. However, significant work such as replacing sections of the main drain or connecting to council infrastructure may need approval.
Our licensed team understands local compliance requirements and handles this process for you if needed. This ensures your repair is carried out legally and meets council standards.
Flowpro makes sure all documentation is provided so your property remains compliant.
The timeframe depends on the type of damage and repair method used. Unblocking or sectional repairs can often be completed within a few hours. Trenchless relining usually takes one to two days, while full replacements may take longer depending on access and reinstatement needs.
Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your home or business. Flowpro provides clear timelines before starting so you know exactly what to expect.
