With over 30 years of experience, we specialise in CCTV drain inspections, drain cleaning and maintenance, and sewer and stormwater drain relining across Australia.
We focus on drains and we know them well. We look after your drains to the highest standard, so you face fewer risks, safer sites and lower costs. Our team of registered plumbers and highly skilled technicians gives you the best service in commercial drain care.
Leaking drains in tall buildings
Got leaking sewer drains in a multi storey home or office building? Want to stop the leaks and blockages without cutting through walls or floors, or upsetting your tenants? The Drain Man has the answer. We recommend and install the Repiper Step by Step relining system for vertical sewer stacks and stormwater drains. It does the job better than regular relining or methods that cause more damage.

Our commercial drain services
CCTV inspection
We have a wide range of CCTV drain inspection cameras. They go from push rod cameras to robot cameras for main lines and portable units for tight spots. That lets us offer:
- Blockage inspections
- Finding where junctions are
- Mapping your drains
- Checks before and after repairs
- Drain measurements
- Accurate diagnosis of problems
- Work with no digging
- Results and reports on the spot
Drain cleaning
We know how important it is to look after your building and its pipes. Blocked drains cause trouble and damage, and that leads to high costs and complaints. So we offer top quality maintenance plans to stop problems early, plus emergency call outs to clear your drains.
Our large fleet and expert team fix drain problems quickly and professionally. If we think a blockage is likely to come back, we’ll always offer a long term fix. We use high pressure drain cleaning to clear:
- Blocked sewer and stormwater drains
- Stormwater pits and grates
- Tree roots in pipes
- Grease traps and interceptors
- Septic tanks
Pipe relining
Our commercial pipe relining uses high quality structural resin and liners made to fit. We put the liner into the drain, inflate it and let it harden. It seals all cracks, breaks and root entry points in the drain. Your drain is usually back in use in less than 24 hours. No dig. No damage. No danger.
- We reline whole drains, or do low cost patch repairs on short sections.
- Relined drains have a smoother surface, and they often flow better.
- Tree roots can’t get into drains we’ve relined.
- Relined pipes are 100% leak proof, stronger than the old pipe and carry a lifetime warranty.
- We reline drains of all sizes, from 40mm to over 1000mm.
- We can reline junctions, bends and traps too.
Planned maintenance for your site
Most drain problems build up slowly. Your sinks drain and your toilets flush as normal, while fats, silt or roots collect out of sight. Then one day the drain blocks.
A planned maintenance program finds that build up first. We visit once or twice a year on a set schedule. We film your drains, then clean out anything that could cause a blockage. It helps you manage costs and stop blockages before they start.
Hospitality, health and aged care
Blocked toilets and sinks are common in pubs, cafes and restaurants. They can stop a busy service in its tracks. Hotels, hospitals and aged care homes face the same risk. We have one of the biggest fleets on the road, so we can get to you quickly and get you running again.
Kitchens are a common trouble spot. Fats and oils go down the sink warm, then set hard as they cool. Food scraps stick to them and the pipe narrows. Our jetting gear cuts through that grease and flushes it away. Read how high pressure drain jetting works.
Drain care for schools
Many schools don’t know where all their stormwater drains are, or what shape they’re in. So we start by mapping the whole system. Our camera goes into every pipe and pit, and it links to a mapping system that draws a detailed plan.
Next we rank the work, so the most urgent drains come first. Repairs happen underground, so there’s no danger to students and the school day carries on. Read how we help schools comply with RM013.
Questions from business clients
Do you use subcontractors?
No. The Drain Man has over 80 employees and no subcontractors. The crew on your site works for us.
Are you ISO accredited?
Yes. We hold ISO accreditation for quality, safety and the environment. We’re also 100% Australian owned.
Will you need to dig up our car park or floors?
Usually not. Most damaged drains can be relined from the inside, with no trenches across your site. A pipe that has fully collapsed or has large sections missing may not suit relining. If so, we’ll tell you up front.
Do we get a record of the work?
Yes. You see camera footage from before and after we clear a drain. After an inspection, you get a full report on the condition of each pipe.
