Drainage Plumbers are also responsible for providing and or/installing onsite and mobile disposal systems such as septic systems, grease interceptors, mulchers, neutraliser tanks and drains. Grease traps, drainage vents and inspection shafts are part of their role along with preparing areas for sanitary drains and stormwater drains by digging trenches and laying the pipes. Drainage Plumbers are specialists in the installation and testing of underground sewerage treatment systems, overflow relief gullies and reflex valves and pressurised treatment systems.

There’s much more to a Drainage Plumber than pipes!?
While Drainage Plumbers are physical labourers, they are also highly skilled professionals who require critical skill and understanding to perform their role efficiently. This requires the capacity to read plans in order to identify where and how the drainage system runs, design skills as they need to be able to design stormwater and sanitary systems within a building efficiently in order to protect the health and safety of those occupying the building while having regard to the surrounding environment. When there are faults, a drainage plumber needs to be able to locate cracks or faults and assess underground damage and maintain a high level of adherence to OH&S.
