Melbourne Plumbing Co provides sewer and stormwater drain assessment, repair and replacement for homes and businesses. We inspect the affected drainage, identify whether the problem is a blockage, cracked or collapsed pipe, root intrusion or another fault, and explain the options before work begins. Urgent plumbing support is available 24/7, while planned repairs can be scheduled to reduce disruption.
On a compact block or multi-unit property, the visible overflow may be some distance from the failed pipe. Sewer carries wastewater from internal fixtures, while stormwater carries rainfall from roofs, pits and paved areas. Identifying which system is affected prevents the wrong drain from being cleared or excavated.
Shared driveways, courtyards and additions can restrict direct access to underground drainage. CCTV inspection and pipe locating may be suitable for identifying the fault position before surface finishes are disturbed.
A blockage caused by a removable obstruction may only need clearing. Localised cracking, displaced joints or root entry may suit targeted repair or partial replacement. Widespread deformation, collapse, poor alignment or repeated failures can justify a larger replacement. We outline the affected section, access method and included work before excavation begins.
Tell us whether plumbing is shared, who can approve work, and which accessways or fixtures must remain available. The repair plan can then account for occupants and operating hours as well as the pipe condition. For urgent wastewater overflow call 03 9481 8686.

At a Brunswick West unit complex, the front downpipe line was holding significant water. Our team excavated the affected area, repaired the failed stormwater section and used CCTV and pipe locating to inspect the remaining line. The inspection also identified further defects beneath hard surfaces that required a separate repair plan.
The selected photos show the downpipe area before excavation, the exposed route and the new PVC repair section. The unit number and street address are omitted.
This sanitised drain-camera clip records the underground stormwater line during the documented Brunswick West repair and inspection. It helps show why CCTV and pipe locating are useful when defects extend beneath hard surfaces.

We consider the location and cause of the fault, the pipe material and condition, and whether the problem is recurring. We then explain the practical options and provide a quote before approved work begins.
Warning signs can include recurring blockages, slow drainage, gurgling, sewage odours, overflowing inspection points, water pooling after rain or ground movement near the drain line. Urgent overflows should be assessed promptly.
Yes. Roots can enter through cracked pipes or failed joints and restrict flow. Clearing may restore flow temporarily, but damaged pipework may also need repair or replacement to reduce repeat blockages.
