About Us
Who is Drain Solutions?
Drain Solutions is a Melbourne drainage specialist that clears, inspects, relines and repairs drains, finds water leaks, locates underground services and tests backflow devices and TMVs.
We are not a general plumber. We do not do tapware, hot water systems or gas fitting. Drainage and underground services are all we do, which is why every job comes with the right equipment: CCTV cameras, high pressure jetters, relining gear, ground penetrating radar and pipe locators. We have invested in equipment, research and development so that most drain problems can be found and fixed without digging, including pipe relining, also known as CIPP (cured in place pipelining).
We work for homeowners, property managers, schools, commercial and industrial sites, builders and councils across Melbourne's inner and middle suburbs.

What We Offer
What does Drain Solutions do?
Drain Solutions is a specialist drainage and underground services company, not a general plumber. We clear blocked drains with high pressure jetting, use CCTV cameras once the drain is clear to find the cause, and fix damaged pipes, mostly without digging.
One visit can cover the whole job, handled with the same operator and the same equipment: the jetter clears the blockage first, the camera then finds the cause once the drain is clear, and if the pipe is damaged we reline or repair it in-house. Every job is different, and what the camera finds determines what comes next. We also locate underground services, detect water leaks, and test backflow prevention devices and thermostatic mixing valves. Any repair comes with a written quote before work starts. BPC Licence No. 21741. Based in Kew East, we work across Melbourne's inner and middle suburbs.
