Auckland's Specialist
Drainage Diagnostic Company

We built Drainage Works around one idea: you deserve to know exactly what's wrong underground before anyone quotes you a repair.

Our Story

Built on Better Diagnostics

Too many Auckland homeowners get quoted for drain repairs based on a guess. The repair misses the real problem, or replaces pipe that didn't need replacing, and the fault comes back.

Drainage Works exists to fix that. Every job starts with a CCTV camera survey of your drainage system. You get a written report with video evidence and a clear set of recommendations. If repair work is needed, the quote comes from the report, not from a hunch at the top of the drive.

That discipline is standard in commercial drainage. It wasn't standard in residential work. We made it our whole business.

We're based in Hobsonville and cover all of Auckland, from Wellsford to Pukekohe, with more than ten years in the ground under Auckland homes.

The People Behind the Work

Matt — Drainage Works

Matt

Onsite Inspections

Matt leads all on-site inspection and repair work. He runs every camera survey methodically, so the report you receive reflects exactly what's in the ground, not an interpretation of it. His experience spans residential and commercial drainage across Auckland's older housing stock, where clay soils and pre-1980s pipe cause most of the problems we find.

Richard — Drainage Works

Richard

General Manager

Richard is General Manager of the Foundations Group and runs Drainage Works day to day. He reviews every inspection report before it reaches you, so findings arrive in plain language with clear options, not jargon you have to take on trust. Because he manages the whole group, he's also the direct link to Grace Foundation Solutions and Geofix® when a drain fault turns out to have caused structural movement. One conversation, not a new provider.

How We Work

What Makes Us Different

Camera First. Always.

We never quote a repair without a camera inspection first. You get a documented record of exactly what's wrong before we recommend anything.

Quotes Priced From the Report

Your quote is built from what the camera found, itemised so you can see what you're paying for and why. No allowances for guesswork, because there is no guesswork.

Post-Repair Camera Check

Every repair finishes with a final camera pass to confirm the drain is clear and flowing. You get that footage too.

Straight Advice

If your drain doesn't need repair, we tell you that and leave. No upselling, no manufactured urgency. Most of our work comes from referrals, and that only happens when the advice holds up.

Part of a Wider Group

A Division of the Foundations Group

Drainage Works is a specialist division of the Foundations Group. Our sister divisions are Grace Foundation Solutions, Auckland specialists in foundation movement and remediation, and Geofix®, specialists in ground stabilisation and subsidence repair. Each division does one job at specialist depth. For Drainage Works, that shared experience means we read the ground, not just the pipe: we know what a drain fault does to Auckland clay, and what that movement looks like from the foundation side. And if our camera finds a problem beyond drainage, the right specialists are already in the group. One diagnosis, no re-briefing, no handover gaps.

  • Drainage Works — CCTV diagnostics, drain repair and water management
  • Grace Foundation Solutions — foundation remediation and repiling
  • Geofix® — resin injection and ground stabilisation

Why does that matter for a drainage customer? Because a leaking drain can soften the soil under a home's footings, and Auckland's clay soils move when their moisture changes. When our inspection shows the problem has gone beyond the pipe, we hand you directly to Grace or Geofix® with the diagnosis already done. You don't re-brief a new company, and nothing gets lost between providers.

No other drainage company in Auckland can offer that pathway inside one group.
