Cheaper than emergencies. Scheduled inspections and clean-outs that catch root intrusion, grease build-up, and early collapses before they become 2am callouts.

What’s involved
A blocked drain at 11pm in winter costs a lot more than a 30-minute service visit booked in advance. The most common drainage emergencies — full root masses, grease blockages, partial collapses — almost always show up on CCTV months before they become a problem. Catching them early keeps your weekend free.
We run annual or 6-monthly maintenance on residential and commercial properties across Wellington and South Wairarapa. Every visit includes a CCTV pass, a hydro-jet flush where appropriate, and a short photo report so you know what we found and what (if anything) needs watching.
- Annual or 6-monthly check-ins
- Hydro-jetting service for stubborn build-up
- CCTV pass on every visit
- Photo report after every job
- Priority booking for existing clients
Why Double Dz
A drain you don't think about is a drain that's working.
Most of our maintenance customers came to us as emergency callouts first. Once we sorted the original problem, scheduling a yearly visit kept the issue from coming back. It's a small spend that prevents the big one — same logic as servicing a car.

Drain maintenance across Wellington & the Hutt Valley
We run scheduled drain maintenance for homes, rentals, and commercial sites right across the region — and the right interval depends on where you are and what's around the property:
- Older Wellington suburbs (Newtown, Mt Cook, Thorndon, Karori, Khandallah) — original earthenware drains and mature street trees mean 6-monthly checks usually pay for themselves in avoided blockages.
- Hutt Valley (Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Trentham, Silverstream) — clay soils and large, tree-lined sections; an annual CCTV pass and hydro-jet keeps root intrusion in check.
- Rentals & property managers — a fixed annual visit with a photo report gives you a documented maintenance record for the property file.
- Cafés, kitchens & commercial sites — grease build-up means more frequent hydro-jetting; we set the interval to your usage.
Based in Upper Hutt, we cover Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Wellington City, Porirua and South Wairarapa. Call 027 844 6899 to set up a schedule, or read more about our CCTV drain inspections and blocked drain service.
Drain Maintenance — frequently asked questions
For most homes, once every 12 months is enough. Properties with mature trees, lots of clay/earthenware, or older drainage systems often benefit from a 6-monthly schedule. We'll give you an honest call after the first visit.
A typical visit includes a CCTV inspection of the main lines, hydro-jetting if needed to flush grease or root build-up, gully and inspection point checks, and a short written report with photos of anything to watch.
Yes — when done at the right pressure for the pipe material. We adjust pressure for earthenware vs uPVC and never blast a line that won't hold up. If a line is too far gone for jetting, we'll tell you before we do anything.
Yes — we offer annual or 6-monthly maintenance booked in advance, with priority booking for existing clients. Get in touch and we'll set up a schedule that suits your property.
A maintenance visit will often clear minor build-up. For a fully blocked drain, book the blocked drains service — that gets prioritised, including after-hours.
