Professional drainlaying services Wellington

Protect your property from water damage and costly repairs

We install and repair drainage systems that are designed to handle New Zealand’s weather and meet all required standards.

Drainage isn’t something you want done twice – so we make sure it’s done properly the first time.

Our drainlaying services

New drainage installation

We install stormwater and wastewater systems for new builds, renovations and property developments.

Everything is carefully planned to move water safely away from buildings and foundations – protecting your property from long-term damage.

Stormwater systems

Heavy rain is part of life in Wellington, so your stormwater system needs to cope when it really pours.

We design and install stormwater drainage that directs rainwater away from your home, driveway and foundations safely and efficiently.

Blocked drains

Blocked drains can be messy, stressful and disruptive. Slow draining sinks, gurgling pipes, bad smells or overflowing outdoor drains are all signs something’s not right.

We quickly locate the cause – whether it’s tree roots, build-up, damage or collapsed pipework – and clear or repair the issue properly so it doesn’t keep coming back.

Drain repairs & replacements

Broken, cracked or collapsed drains can cause serious problems over time. We identify the issue accurately and provide practical, long-lasting repair solutions – whether that’s a targeted repair or full section replacement.

We focus on doing the job once and doing it right.

Sewer systems

Adding a new fixture, sewer upgrades or updating pipework to today’s standard.

CCTV drain inspections and hydro jet

Using specialised equipment, we inspect & clear inside drains to pinpoint problems without unnecessary digging.

This allows us to identify blockages, cracks or root intrusion quickly and accurately – saving time and disruption.

Why choose PipeX?

After studying music in Dunedin and a classic London OE, Dan started his apprenticeship in Auckland, where he also met his partner, Charlie.

Looking for a change of pace, they moved to the Hawkes Bay where Dan completed his registration and certifying plumbing and gas fitting tickets. The plan was to move back to Charlie’s home town, so in 2021, they settled in Wellington. Here Dan completed his certifying drainlaying ticket to complete the trio.

When not working you’ll find Dan making memories with his young family, and taking any opportunity to get outside.

From the start of the process the communication with us was fantastic, outlining the plan in simple and understandable terms, as well as the implication on cost for any decisions that were required. The work they conducted was highly professional, to specifications and very tidy. They left the job in a state better than they found it. You wont go wrong wth Dan and the team at PipeX.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan from PipeX is out here in the world making life better for his customers, honestly, and that's his jam. We found him honest and professional, and he seemed happy to take the time to talk us through our options, explaining what each entailed, and then doing whatever one worked best for us. We wanted to salvage our own hot water cylinder by stripping it back to the copper, and Dan was even cool enough to tell us some tips for doing that! (He said it was messy, time-consuming work and you should put down a tarp and use a square-head spade.) His pricing is great at the moment because he is just setting out with his own business, so that is a bonus but even once PipeX is well established and charging typical market rates, we expect this will be our go-to plumber. Tradespeople like Dan are true gems and a relief to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, so blown away by the service from Dan (Pipe-X Ltd). Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, really responsive and great communication. Plus, in order to install the new hot water cylinder he pulled in an electrician friend of his, Rob and Theo from Prolight Electrical - they were great, too. So, not only do I now have fantastic hot showers with amazing water pressure but I've found 'my plumber' and 'my electrician'.  You know how it is... when you find great trades people they become your 'go-to' guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan is amazing. His approach is open and collaborative. Not only is he prompt but an an excellent communicator. We recently got Dan to install a heat pump hot water system, and convert a reticulated gas stove top to LPG bottle. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail is phenomenal as was his untiring work to resolve some niggles with the stove top which were entirely down to poor support from SMEG. Highly highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Dan from PipeX help diagnose a problem with our shower bath and were really impressed. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and worked efficiently. He explained the issue clearly in a way that was easy to understand and gave us great confidence in what needed to be done. Even giving us a good contact for further work needed. Pricing was also very fair. Highly recommend!
