CCTV Drain Camera
Our advanced CCTV drain inspections technology allows us to accurately inspect stormwater drains and underground pipework without unnecessary digging or disruption. This high-resolution camera system travels through your drainage network, identifying blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed pipes, and other hidden issues with precision.
By pinpointing the exact location and cause of a problem, we can recommend the most effective solution quickly and efficiently. CCTV inspections are ideal for diagnosing recurring drainage issues, assessing stormwater systems before property purchases, or checking the condition of ageing infrastructure across Wellington properties.
Drain Clearer
Our professional drain clearer equipment is designed to tackle even the toughest blockages in storm water drainage systems. From built-up debris and silt to tree roots and general waste, our high-powered clearing system restores water flow quickly and effectively.
Regular storm water drain cleaning helps prevent flooding, protects your property from water damage, and extends the lifespan of your drainage network. Suitable for residential and commercial properties, our drain clearing service helps keep your drains flowing freely year-round.
Why Professional Drainlaying Matters
Drainage systems are designed to move water away from buildings safely and efficiently. If drains are poorly installed, damaged, or incorrectly designed, problems can develop quickly, particularly during heavy Wellington rainfall.
Professional drainlaying ensures your drainage infrastructure is installed correctly, complies with local requirements, and performs as intended long term. Plumbspec has extensive experience delivering Residential and commercial drainage design, new drainage installations, repairs, and upgrades across Wellington.
From small residential jobs through to large commercial developments, our team understands what it takes to build reliable drainage systems that can handle local conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a well-designed drainage system so important?
Proper drainage prevents water accumulation that can lead to structural damage, mould growth and health hazards. A well-installed system redirects water away from the property, protecting foundations and reducing dampness. It’s one of the most important systems for keeping a home or building safe and functional over the long term.
What drainage and drainlaying services do you provide?
We design, install and maintain drainage systems for residential and commercial properties across Wellington. Our services include troubleshooting drainage issues, carrying out repairs or upgrades, and providing drain camera surveys using CCTV drain and pipe inspection technology for accurate diagnosis.
What is a drain camera survey?
A drain camera survey uses CCTV inspection equipment to look inside pipes and drains. It helps pinpoint blockages, damage or other issues without guesswork. This means we can recommend the most effective solution and avoid unnecessary digging, saving time and keeping disruption to a minimum.
Can you design a new drainage system for my property?
Yes. We specialise in designing and installing efficient drainage systems tailored to your site and needs. Whether it’s a new build, an extension or an upgrade, we’ll plan the best route and setup so water is managed properly and your property stays protected.
Do you provide drainage services for homes?
Yes. We provide drainage solutions for homeowners and businesses throughout Wellington. Whether you need drainage for a residential property or a commercial site, our drainlayers are equipped with the tools and experience to handle the job efficiently and to a high standard.
What are common signs of a drainage problem?
Slow-draining fixtures, unpleasant smells, gurgling sounds, wet patches on the ground, or recurring blockages can all point to a drainage issue. If water is pooling around the property or you’re seeing dampness, it’s worth investigating early to avoid bigger damage later.
How do you ensure drainage work meets NZ standards?
We use high-quality drainage pipe standards and install systems with durability and performance in mind. Our team is experienced with best-practice drainlaying and uses the right tools to ensure the system functions optimally.
Can CCTV inspections help avoid unnecessary excavation?
Yes. CCTV drain inspections help us identify exactly where the problem is. Whether it’s a blockage, break or collapse. With that information, we can target repairs more accurately. CCTV inspections reduce disruption to your property and help you avoid paying for guesswork or avoidable digging.
Can drainage work help prevent mould and dampness indoors?
Absolutely. When drainage is working correctly, water is redirected away from the home, reducing the risk of dampness in subfloors, basements and walls. That helps prevent mould growth and improves overall building health. Good drainage is a key part of keeping a home dry and comfortable.
How do you minimise disruption during drainage work?
We plan the work carefully, use diagnostic tools like CCTV inspections when needed, and keep communication clear. Where excavation is required, we keep the site as tidy as possible and aim for efficient completion. The goal is effective drainage without turning your property into a mess.
Do you offer ongoing drainage maintenance?
Yes. Maintenance helps prevent blockages and keeps the system functioning as it should. If your property is prone to waterlogging or you want peace of mind, we can inspect the system and recommend the right maintenance approach to keep things running smoothly year-round.
How do I book a drainage assessment in Wellington?
Get in touch and tell us what symptoms you’re seeing. Is it slow drains, overflows, odours or wet ground. If you have photos or a recent history of issues, that helps too. We’ll recommend the best next step, whether that’s an inspection, a camera survey, or repairs.
