About The Drain Man

The right diagnosis. The right solution. For over 30 years we’ve cleared and relined drains, and inspected, maintained and fixed pipelines across Australia.

Drain clearing and relining specialists

With over 30 years of experience, The Drain Man is the specialist in drain clearing and relining. Many people also trust us to inspect, maintain and fix the pipes under our cities and towns.

We’re proudly Australian owned and run. We’re not a franchise and we don’t use subcontractors. All our staff are employees. We pick them with care and train them to be experts in drain clearing and relining.

We work in New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne), and we cover many regions in each state.

Our people

Our team has over 80 permanent, skilled staff in a range of roles. We come from many cultures and backgrounds. We’re proud that our skills and drive make us leaders in our field.

Our CCTV drain inspections, drain clearing and trenchless relining run 7 days a week. We’ve kept growing for over 30 years because we invest in well trained staff and the best gear and products in our trade.

We were early leaders in fixing pipes from the inside. Our team is made up of people who love the work, skilled plumbers and people who keep finding better ways to fix pipes without digging.

We don’t walk away without a fix

The Drain Man has a zero percent failure rate on drain clearing and pipe relining. That means we won’t leave a job until we’ve found a solution to your problem. Drains we reline carry a lifetime warranty.

Safety, quality and the environment

We keep our work safe and healthy for our staff, our customers and the community. Safety is at the heart of our business, from the first plan to the finished job.

The Drain Man holds ISO accreditation for quality, health and safety, and the environment. Our policies set out our ethics. Our procedures make sure the way we work matches our values, so we meet and beat what people expect of us.
