From cracked clay sewers to renovation drainage and full property upgrades — Brown Arm Boys design and install modern drainage systems that meets or exceeds Australian standards, stop those inconvenient blockages and lasts for many years. CCTV-first, no upsell.
Signs your system needs upgrading
If your property is showing any of these, the underlying drainage is failing — and snaking it every six months is not a fix.
Same drain blocking every few months? The pipe itself is failing.
Multiple slow fixtures means a main-line capacity or grade problem.
Roots only get in through cracks. Once they're in, they keep coming back.
Old or collapsed stormwater lines leaking under your lawn.
Pre-1980s Brisbane homes — clay is brittle, cracks with the soil, and roots love it.
Cracked sewer or failed vent — both are signs the system needs upgrading.
After upgrade
Replacements, relining, renovation drainage, granny flats and rectification work — all council-certified, all guaranteed for life.

Education
Both have their place. The right choice depends on your pipe’s condition, layout and access. Here’s the honest, plain-English breakdown.
Old pipe excavated and replaced with new modern PVC. The permanent option when the existing line is too far gone.
Trenchless cured-in-place lining inserted into your existing pipe — restoring it from the inside.
Not sure which? We CCTV your pipe first, then quote both options honestly — you choose.
Pipe relining specialists
Trenchless relining lets us repair cracked, root-invaded or leaking pipes without digging up your property. A new, structurally sound pipe inside your old one — installed in a day or two, designed to last 50+ years.
Real Brisbane upgrades
“We had an issue with water not draining away from our property during heavy rainfall. Gave these guys a call and they were able to fit us in within 24 hours. Noah was thorough and addressed our concerns. They booked in our drainage rectification promptly and we are feeling a lot more confident for when the next deluge hits. Highly recommend.”
