"I cannot recommend Ivan highly enough. I contacted him in regards to a blocked stormwater drain which ran under our decorative concrete driveway. Whlie others wanted to cut up the driveway to investigate Ivan diligently and thoroughly investigated and found the problem some 12 meters away from the entry point. Not only this but he worked tirelessly (including in the rain) to fix the problem without cutting up the driveway. He underpromied and over delivered in every aspect exceeding our expectations and kept us well informed the whole time. At last success where others failed!!!"

"If you need a professional who not only knows what needs to be done but can also get it done, then talk to Ivan.
I had a broken waste pipe due to ground movement. Due to the need, it was made good with a temporary fix at the time of the inspection.
On the day of repair, two more breaks were found further along, clearly visible, via his camera inspection.
Ivan explained everything in plain English with no BS.
Arrived on the day with everything he needed, so no extra trips to suppliers.
Ivan was very thorough, doing exactly what was needed, with no fuss.
Job done."

"Cannot recommend Ivan's professionalism, expertise and ability to go above and beyond for us highly enough. We felt that while the situation was grim, Ivan gave us not only a better understanding of what was being undertaken and why, but also the confidence of what the issues were and the work necessary to resolve the issues we were experiencing.

If you want a drainlayer, plumbing extraordinaire for any concerns with your drainage, who priorities good engineering practices and pragmatism, there is no better than Ivan. Thank you again for your time with us, we are very grateful."

"I contacted Ivan as we had a flooded garage. Ivan was prompt with his communication, upfront with the costs in his quote and was very professional with his dealings with both our property manager and tenant. Not only did he send me pictures to explain what the problem might be, his follow up was fantastic. Needless to say I have engaged his services for a followup drain clean next year and would definiltely recommend his services."

"Ivan was punctual and professional throughout the job of replacing the drainage from the house to the main line. Access of the digger was through the neighbours property and this was handled with care and respect for their property. Ivan did a first class job from start to finish and I would highly recommend him."

"Wow. What an absolute professional. From start to finish Ivan was incredible. Communicative, extremely hard-working, reliable and just a general all round good guy. We had a big job and while the prospect of it was a bit overwhelming for us, he was patient and kind at communicating with us all the way through. I could not recommend Ivan more."

"I have had several issues with drainage over the years and employed various drainage contractors to deal with these issues but I can honestly say my experience with Ivan was by far superior. He is honest, hardworking, communicative and helpful. As Ivan is very busy, I waited a while to get my job done and it was well worth the wait. He did an excellent job installing drainage in my garage to resolve flooding issues. During the job he came across some unexpected issues and was totally solution focused in his approach. He did a fantastic job and left the site tidy and clean. I would have no hesitation recommending Ivan."

"Ivan came to help us with our drainage issues (water coming into the basement). Out of all the other companies and people that came to give us a quote, Ivan was the only one the gave the site a thorough good look (it took almost an hour) before letting us know what needed to be done.

Even though there were some surprises during the work which adjusted the plan and the cost, Ivan communicated this very clearly and the job was a very reasonable cost.

We have a 2 year old and he always made a point to talk to us about the potential hazards on site while work was being done. Everything was clearly visible with barriers and cones after he left for the day.

At the end of the job, the site was left in an excellent condition, you would hardly know that our front yard had been dug up.

Ivan was honest and reliable and I'd recommend him to anyone needed drainage work."

"We had a blocked sewer in our block of 5 units. I contacted Ivan and he gave a probable day that he could come to fix and then managed to come two days earlier which was a godsend as the overflow was getting bigger. Great communicator, personable and did an excellent job clearing the blockage and tidying afterwards. Highly recommend."

"We have had Ivan to our place 3 times, first to diagnose, second to do a big repair job on a drain and then to check another drain.
Unlike the company we got out previously he actually offered a solution to the problem and managed to find out what it was, unlike a previous company we had who just cleared it and put a camera down.
We had a garage that flooded for years and now thank goodness no longer floods in heavy rain.
Cannot recommend him enough he will fix your problems for as cheaply as he can!"

"I found Ivan great to deal with, he gave honest advice and was happy to explain things. Ivan arrived when on time and completed the job within a good time. It wasn't a large job. He managed to solve our blocked stormwater drainage problem and gave some advice on how to prevent it happening in the future. I also got him to fix a leaking stormwater pipe. He only suggested things that would actually make a difference and didn't come across as trying to do things that didn't need doing. He also used his pipe detection device to give me a good idea where the pipe runs so future work will be easier. I would happily use ABC drainage again. Thanks"

"Unlike so many super busy drainage guys or tradesmen in general these days, Ivan turns up, calls you back and does exactly what he says he will do, when he says he will do it. He adds value by consulting, problem solving and troubleshooting and by incorporating "finishing touches" which go above and beyond. He is very professional, extremely technically competent and a fantastic communicator. Qualities far too rare these days. We will never go anywhere else now, so hope this review doesn't mean he is too busy to squeeze us in anymore."

"I called ABC Drainage and within a couple of hours Ivan arrived and quickly diagnosed the problem. Turns out it was a sewer pipe fault and he advised that I get Watercare in to fix the problem, because they would fix it for free. Ivan was extremely helpful, friendly and professional...and to top it off, he said there would be no charge !! 10 out of 10 for Ivan and his company. No hesitation in recommending him to anyone :-)"

He explained everything in great detail. The work was a drainage system for my carport, which otherwise floods in heavy rain. The finished result looks smart and will solve the flooding issue. Ivan was extremely tidy as he worked and everything neat as a pin at finishing. Very happy to recommend!!"

"Ivan did a wonderful job of fixing my elderly mother's flooding basement. He was excellent to deal with in all respects. Particulary impressive was that when the job was finished there were no traces of his activities, which included digging several new drains. An example of his attention to detail was when he needed to dig up an area of old crazy paving made by my father out of old lumps of concrete paving. Ivan photographed the area, and then restored the paving exactly as it had been. I delayed rating the business because I was waiting for the particular conditions which caused the flooding. I should have hd more faith! I highly recommend this business."

Ivan was great to deal with, good communication, turned up when he said he would, quoted the job, carried out short notice changes and additional visits.

"Right from the outset, my worried call to Ivan, I knew I had contacted the right man for the job. He is a polite re-assuring professional with a sense of humour and excellent customer service. He doesn't pack up his tools until he is totally satisfied that all is working as it should. And the clean up he did afterwards was much appreciated also. I have no problem whatsoever recommending ABC Drainage Ltd."

"A very competitive quote compared with other drainlayers. Ivan accommodated us amidst his very tight work schedule to ensure the work was carried out to our requirements. He kept us regularly updated with a progress report on the storm-water project together with maintenance of other related work. We had every confidence with his knowledge on the initial problem and his overall expertise in the remedy of the situation was proven. His hard work and immaculate completion of the job is much appreciated. We would certainly recommend ABC Drainage and Ivan to future enquirers. Thanks Ivan for a job brilliantly done !"

"Story of the BIG guy - HydroTech ( expensive, couldn't even fix the problem - AVOID) and the little guy - Ivan from ABC Drainage.
We had a an old, inadequate and blocked storm-water drain which needed a surgeons approach to unblock and re-lay to avoid ruining an established patio and gardens.
Ivan was brilliant - quick to respond and understand the problem, accurate and economical in quoting, works like a Trojan and you'd never know he'd been there afterwards.
Ivan may be a one-man-band but he has ALL the gear and experience I needed!
Thoroughly recommended."

We would highly recommend this professional outfit."
