Razorback CCTV drain camera kit set up at a Wellington City property
Local · Wellington City

Old houses, steep sites, original earthenware drains.

Wellington City drainage is its own beast. A lot of Karori, Mt Victoria, Kelburn, Aro Valley and Newtown homes are over 100 years old with original earthenware lay. They've usually been patched a dozen times, and most "blocked drain" calls are really old pipes asking to be replaced.

Add the slopes — Brooklyn, Khandallah, Mt Cook — and access for excavators becomes a real planning exercise. We run the camera first, talk through the options, and quote it fixed before anyone touches a spade. No hourly clock, no surprises on the invoice.

  • Fixed quotes up front for every Wellington City job
  • Razorback HD CCTV camera survey before any major dig
  • Qualified drainlayer for council-side and stormwater connection work
  • Same-day blocked drain callouts where we can; same-evening for after-hours
  • 5★ rated across all 7 Google reviews
