The urgent main drain unblocking job went really well, and the person who mattered most, the elderly owner of the property, is now very happy. Great to have a real professional with their pro-gear sort out a difficult problem in a very efficient manner.

Rang in the morning. Brooke handled my concern and booked someone to come out in the afternoon. As she explained Andrew called 30 minutes before arriving. Once Andrew got here he was very polite and helpful. And fixed the issue. Thank you.

The Drain Man operates on false advertising, promising either a short or long term solution to your problem. Instead, they offer short or long term guesswork, not coming up with any real tangible and effective solution!! They were not on time and started work when expressly directed them not to until I was present. A total waste of $495 and when I voiced my concerns to one of their managers Darren, he was quick to come up with excuses as well as dismissing me!!! I ended up fixing a section of earthware pipe dislodgenent and had the pipe repaired!!! Horrible service and I would never use them again

Only use if you want to be ripped off. Received a quote and called 3 times for a breakdown and and explanation which never came. Received another quote from another plumber who not only did a bigger job but also at a considerable lower price.
BE WARNED!

Spent $800+ dollars only to be told the earth in the pipe is too compacted for the machine to get through so I'll have to pay a plumber to dig out the old pipe and replace it. The guy was pleasant enough but my problem of a blocked pipe wasn't resolved making the experience pretty costly disappointing

Just received a visit by plumber Brandon of The Drain Man and couldn't be happier with the service. Brandon is friendly and personable, and worked expertly, even in the freezing rain, showing us the camera images and explaining the problems and possible solutions. He made excellent suggestions and completed a great fix, for a rather deteriorated and tree-root infested pipe, in under two hours. Very Happy. Phil and Joan, East Malvern.

We were very satisfied with the service supplied. Brandon was very courteous and efficient and left the kitchen as he found it. Sparklingly clean. Much to my pleasant surprise. Covid19 made arrangements difficult but not for "The Drainman". Thanks again.

This review relates to a service call that I logged back in June, 2021 for a blocked stormwater drain on our property. We understood that the initial call out was going to be $495 for the first hour and then $176 for each 30min after that. We also were told that we would be given an estimate of how long it would likely take. Your representative came to our house and had clear access to access pits and attempted to clear the blockage with a high pressure hose after reviewing it with the drain camera. This wasn't successful but he did say he would be able to unblock it but it would take longer than
