As a certified drain layer, Kurt is licensed to design, install, and repair drainage systems that meet council requirements.
Licensed Drain Layer — Compliant, Consented, Built to Last
As a certified drain layer, Kurt is licensed to design, install, and repair drainage systems that meet council requirements.
Drainage work is one area where cutting corners costs you dearly. As a certified drain layer, Kurt is fully licensed to design, install, and repair stormwater and wastewater drainage systems that meet Auckland Council requirements.
Whether you're developing a new section in Albany, replacing old clay pipes in Devonport, adding drainage to a renovation in Takapuna, or dealing with a blocked drain in Glenfield, KA Plumbing has you covered. Every drain laying job is properly documented, inspected, and built to code — protecting your property and keeping you compliant.
Our drain laying services include new stormwater and wastewater drainage installation, replacement of old clay, earthenware, and concrete pipes, drainage for new builds and subdivisions, drainage modifications during renovations, blocked drain clearing and diagnosis, CCTV drain inspection and reporting, and soak pit and stormwater management solutions.
Kurt's dual certification as both a plumber and drain layer means your project needs only one contractor. That means fewer scheduling conflicts, better coordination, and lower costs. From small residential repairs on the North Shore to large-scale drainage work across Auckland, the standard of work is always the same — council-compliant, properly consented, and built to last.
What's Included
Every drain laying job comes with certified workmanship, upfront pricing, and our quality guarantee.
Common Situations We Handle
These are the issues Auckland homeowners call us about most. Sound familiar?
Tree roots blocking your drain lines
One of the most common drainage problems in Auckland. Roots find cracks in clay pipes and grow inside, causing recurring blockages. Kurt locates and removes the intrusion, then repairs or replaces the affected section.
Old clay or earthenware pipes collapsing
Pre-1980s Auckland homes often have clay drain pipes that crack and collapse over time. Kurt replaces damaged sections with modern PVC for a permanent fix.
Stormwater flooding your property
Inadequate or blocked stormwater drainage causes pooling and flooding. Kurt designs and installs proper stormwater solutions including new drains, soak pits, and channel drains.
New build requires drainage installation
Full stormwater and wastewater drainage for new builds and subdivisions. Designed to council specifications, installed to code, and inspected before backfill.
Sewage smell coming from drains
Usually indicates a cracked pipe, failed trap, or poor ventilation. Kurt diagnoses with CCTV inspection and fixes the root cause — not just the symptom.
Renovation needs drainage modifications
Adding or moving a bathroom during a renovation requires drainage rerouting. Kurt handles this as a certified drain layer — no second contractor needed.
Transparent Service, Every Time
Drain laying work is disruptive by nature — it often involves excavation. Kurt minimises the impact by planning the work carefully, using the least invasive approach possible, and restoring your property when the job is complete. Every drain laying project includes proper documentation for Auckland Council, photo records of the work, and a compliance certificate. You'll know exactly what's happening, what it costs, and when it'll be done — before any digging starts.
