What you get with Housekeep

Which jobs can a drainage specialist complete?

Frequently asked questions

You can book a drainage specialist or drainage engineer for any drainage or pipework outside your home. Some common drainage specialist tasks include:

  • Outside drain unblocking
  • Drain jetting
  • Guttering repairs
  • Drain excavations
  • CCTV drain surveys
  • Manhole repairs & replacements
  • Drain repairs & installation
  • Outside pipe repair & replacements

If you need any work done on drains inside your home, you can book a plumber or other tradesperson through Housekeep. They can complete tasks including:

  • Drain unblocking – for sinks, toilets, showers & all other drains
  • Pipe repairs & replacement – including fixing leaking indoor pipes, or investigating noisy pipes
  • Gutter clearing

Unsure which tradesperson you need? That's no problem. Just let us know what you need done and we'll match you with the best tradesperson for the job.

There's lots of crossover between drainage engineers and plumbers. Both work with pipes that transport water & waste. And lots of tradespeople have experience and training in both disciplines.

The main difference is that plumbers work with the water flow inside your home. So they're great for tasks like unblocking toilets or showers, or fixing a leak under the kitchen sink.

Drainage specialists tend to work with the drains and pipework outdoors. Tasks like excavation - that might be required to fix large outdoor waste pipes - would need a specialist drainage engineer, rather than a plumber. They can also provide specialist equipment for CCTV drainage surveys, drain jetting & other drainage services.

If you're not sure whether you need a drainage specialist, a plumber, or another tradesperson, that's no problem. We've got tried & trusted local tradespeople in all disciplines. Just let us know about the job and we'll match you with an experienced & vetted tradesperson.

The job was difficult. I asked to fit posts on very old bricks and these were falling apart when trying to drill. Marcelo was amazing and found an elegant solution. It took longer that expected due to the issue encountered but the job was done at very high standard and looks exactly how I wanted.
