The main difference between plumbing and drainage is that plumbing means that water is coming into your home, and drainage is water waste flowing away from your house.

Plumbers are often the go-to tradespeople for drain issues. However, not all plumbers have extensive experience with outside drains. If in doubt, contact local drain experts who specialise in external drain repair in your area.

Plumbing and drains cover their own distinct fields. Drainage services include unblocking drains, replacing and relining drainage pipes and dealing with burst external pipes. There is no such thing as drain plumbing or drainage plumbers, so make sure to call drainage experts!
