Servicing South Gippsland for well over 10 years
We’ve been a leading drain clearing and relining business in Victoria for over 30 years. We’ve served selected South Gippsland postcodes for well over 10 years. We cover the whole region. That includes Korumburra, Leongatha and Inverloch.
Working with local water authorities
As well as homes, we work closely with South Gippsland Water and Gippsland Water.
Our year in South Gippsland
- We clear more than 1,550 blockages.
- We reline more than 2,500 metres of drain with no dig drain relining.
- We’re a local, Australian owned company, and our staff live in South Gippsland.
Next door, we cover Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley and Phillip Island and the Bass Coast.
Stormwater pits and narrow pipes
Stormwater carries whatever it picks up on the way. Leaves, litter, soil and grit from paths and driveways all wash into your drains and settle inside.
Some properties have stormwater pits. They hold extra water for a while in heavy rain, then let it out slowly through linked pipes. The pits and the pipes can both block.
Newer homes can have narrower pipes too. Many sewer and stormwater pipes are now 90mm wide, not 100mm. Narrow pipes block more easily and are a bit harder to clear, but our team has the gear for them. Our post on stormwater drainage solutions goes into more detail.
What we can do in South Gippsland
From Korumburra to Leongatha, homes, businesses and water authorities can call on us for:

- CCTV drain inspections that show the condition of your pipes.

Questions from South Gippsland customers
How do you work out what my drain needs?
We come out and put a camera down your drain. It shows what’s inside and what keeps causing the blockages. Then you get a detailed plan and a quote to fix it.
Do you clear drains for businesses?
Yes. We clear blocked drains at businesses like pubs, cafes, restaurants, hospitals and aged care homes. We have the gear, the team and one of the biggest fleets on the road. See our commercial drain services.
What sort of company is The Drain Man?
We’re 100% Australian owned, with more than 80 employees and no subcontractors. We work to ISO standards for quality, safety and the environment. And we’ve been solving drain problems for over 30 years.
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 we use our time well. On site, your Drain Man looks over the job with you and decides how to check it. We’re not on the clock until this step is done.
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.
