Drainage system repairs restore proper water flow through your sewer or stormwater pipes. This process involves clearing blockages, repairing any collapsed pipes, sealing cracks or relining pipes.Â
These repairs are crucial in preventing overflows, protecting your property from damage, stopping mould from growing and keeping your plumbing problems from coming back.

Our Drainage Repair Process
The team at Leak Hunters uses modern technology to repair drainage systems safely, accurately and with minimal disruption to your property
We insert an HD camera through your pipe to help us accurately find any leaks, breaks, roots, blockages or collapsed sections. This avoids the guesswork and allows us to choose the right repair method.Â

If the pipe is cracked or damaged, we use no-dig pipe relining to create a new internal pipe structure.Â
For severely collapsed drains, we provide subsoil drainage repairs and replacement when required.
Don't Wait for the Next Flood. Fix Your Drainage Today
Drainage problems don’t fix themselves. Whether you’re dealing with slow drains, bad smells, or water pooling around your property, the longer you wait, the worse (and more expensive) it gets.
Leak Hunters has been Newcastle’s trusted drainage repair specialist, helping homeowners protect their properties with fast, permanent solutions. Our licensed plumbers use advanced technology to diagnose problems accurately and fix them right the first time, often without even digging up your yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
The cost will depend on what’s wrong with your system and how we need to fix it. A simple blocked drain will cost less than a full pipe relining. After we complete a CCTV drain inspection, we’ll give you an upfront quote with no hidden costs. Fixing your drainage problems now saves you money on property maintenance later.Â
Most drainage repairs in Newcastle can be completed in just one day. Jet blasting and clearing blockages usually takes a few hours. If you have a collapsed pipe and now need no-dig pipe relining, this can take longer. Once we inspect your drains, we’ll give you a more accurate timeframe.Â
In most cases, we won’t need to. Our Newcastle plumbers use pipe relining and jet blasting to clear and repair drainage systems from the inside, so your garden and driveway stay untouched. We only dig if the pipes have completely collapsed or if replacement is the better solution.Â
If you have just gotten a one-off blockage, a simple cleaning should do the trick. But if the blocked drains keep coming back, you’ve got bad smells, or water starts to pool in your garden, that usually means there's a more serious problem. Our plumbing camera inspections can show us exactly what’s happening, so we can fix it right the first time
