24/7 Drain Repair Services in Auckland

In Auckland, heavy rain often causes flooding and blockages, while older clay pipes are vulnerable to cracks and root intrusion. If these problems are not repaired quickly, drains can collapse, leading to health hazards, property damage, and non-compliance with council standards.

Flowpro provides licensed drain unblocking and repair services 24/7 across Auckland. Established in 2008, we are locally owned and backed by Master Plumbers and Certified Drainlayers. Our team has extensive experience in both residential and commercial projects, including complex repair work.

We use CCTV inspections to locate faults accurately, offer clear fixed pricing, and complete repairs that meet all New Zealand standards. Contact our team today to book your drain repair and get your system back in working order.

Common Drain Problems We Repair

Drains can fail in several ways, and these are the most common problems we repair across Auckland.

Root Intrusion Damaging Pipes

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.

Cracked or Collapsed Drains

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.

Gurgling, Foul Smells, or Recurring Blockages

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.

Flooding from Stormwater Drains

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.

Soft Ground or Sinkholes Above Pipe Runs

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.

Hydro-Jetting and Clearing

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.

Sectional Dig and Replacement

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.

Trenchless Relining (No-Dig)

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.

Full Replacement

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.

Factors That Affect Cost

  1. Depth and access – deeper pipes or hard-to-reach areas increase labour and equipment needs.
  2. Repair method – trenchless relining may cost more upfront but avoids reinstatement costs compared to excavation.
  3. Urgency – after-hours or emergency work can affect pricing.
  4. Reinstatement – driveways, concrete, or landscaping above the drain may add to the total cost.

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.

How Our Drain Repair Process Works

Our process is clear and straightforward, so you know exactly what will happen from the first call through to final handover.

Step 1: Inspect and Quote
We carry out a CCTV inspection to locate the fault and assess the damage. You receive a clear fixed-price quote before any work begins.
Step 2: Clear the Blockage
Our team removes roots, debris, or blockages using hydro-jetting or cutting tools. This restores flow and prepares the drain for repair.
Step 3: Repair or Reline
We complete the required repair method, whether dig, reline, or replacement. All work is carried out by licensed drainlayers to NZ standards.
Step 4: Reinstate and Report
The ground or surface is reinstated after the repair is complete. We provide CCTV proof and a compliance report for full documentation.

Drain Repair Services FAQs

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.
