Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What does a drainlayer do?

A. A drainlayer installs and maintains the drains that carry stormwater, sewerage and wastewater away from your property, everything from new sewer and stormwater lines to soak pits, subsoil drainage and drain repairs. In New Zealand drainlaying is a licensed trade, so this work must be done by a certified drainlayer.

Q. Do I need a certified drainlayer for drainage work?

A. Yes. Drainlaying is restricted work under the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006. Any new or altered sewer, stormwater or drainage work needs a certified drainlayer and, in most cases, a building consent. Pioneer PGD holds certifying drainlayer licences and we can handle the consent paperwork for you.

Q. Do you handle council consent for drainage work?

A. Yes. Most new drainage work, new sewer lines, stormwater systems, soak pits, needs a building consent from your local council. We prepare the application, deal with council on your behalf, and arrange inspections at the right stages so the job is signed off properly.
