Servicing the Central Coast since 2023
The Drain Man has served Sydney, and south to Wollongong and the Wollondilly Shire, since 2017. In 2023 we added the Central Coast to our service area.
We start at Woy Woy and Ettalong Beach in the south. From there we work through Gosford, Terrigal, Tuggerah and The Entrance. We go all the way to Toukley and Lake Haven in the north. We also cover further north, through to Newcastle and surrounds.
We’re a local, Australian owned company. Whether you need a blocked drain cleared or a broken pipe relined, you can trust us to get it right.
Drain services on the Central Coast
From Gosford to The Entrance, our plumbers can also help with:
- Camera inspections. We film inside your pipes to find the real cause. See CCTV drain inspection.
- Jet cleaning. High pressure water scrubs grease, silt and roots off the pipe walls. See high pressure drain cleaning.
- No dig relining. A new lining inside the old pipe stops leaks and keeps roots out.
- Business drains. Grease traps, kitchens, toilet blocks and more. See commercial drain services.
Blocked drains after heavy rain
Heavy rain often brings drain trouble. But the rain is rarely the real problem. It’s what is going on under the ground.
Common causes
- Tree roots that have grown in through small cracks in the pipe.
- Older pipes that crack, shift or collapse.
- Too much water pushing leaves and debris through the pipes.
- Build up of grease, silt and debris that comes loose in the rain.
Watch for slow drains, gurgling, bad smells, or water backing up in showers, sinks or toilets after a storm. Read blocked drains after heavy rain.
For serious or repeat problems, we find the cause with a camera and clear the pipes with high pressure water. If a pipe is damaged, we can reline it with no digging.
Questions from Central Coast customers
How do I know if you cover my suburb?
Check the suburb list on this page. If yours isn’t there, contact us and we’ll tell you if we can get a plumber to you.
How long does relining take?
Relining is much faster than digging up and replacing pipes. Often the whole job is done in one day. It depends on how long the damaged section is.
Why does my toilet keep blocking?
A toilet that blocks again and again often points to a bigger problem in the sewer. Think tree roots, cracked pipes or heavy build up. Wipes are a common culprit too. Our camera shows the cause, then we clear it with high pressure jetting. See how to unblock a toilet drain.
Clearing blocked drains
A blocked drain is a pain. It can also cause health problems and damage your home. Most blockages happen in one of two drains: the sewer or the stormwater.
- It’s a sewer problem if it affects things inside your home, like toilets, sinks, basins, baths or showers.
- It’s a stormwater problem if it shows up most in heavy rain. Think blocked downpipes, pits and overflowing grates. Tree roots growing into the pipe are the usual cause.
How we do it, in 3 easy steps
We get the background
When you book, we ask about the blockage so your Drain Man is informed. Onsite, your Drain Man will confirm the details of the job and then get straight to work.
We look with a camera, then clear it
An in-drain camera finds where the blockage is. A high pressure water jet or a drain clearing machine clears it. Then we run the camera again, and you get the before and after footage.
We fix the cause
Your Drain Man shows you how to avoid more blockages. If the pipe needs it, you get a repair plan for a permanent fix.
Drain relining
Got a broken, collapsed, blocked or root filled drain? We clear the blockage without making things worse.
Our no dig drain relining uses trenchless technology. So you don’t pay to dig up and replace driveways, paths, patios or gardens. Every relined drain carries a lifetime warranty.
We use CCTV cameras to find the cause and high pressure water jets to clean the drain before we reline it. We film every job, so you see exactly what we see.
We can reline a whole sewer or stormwater drain, or just patch a short section. You end up with a stronger drain that flows better. Relined drains keep tree roots out, don’t leak, are stronger than the old pipe and are guaranteed for life.
