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.
Sewer and stormwater systems are separate. A sewer fault usually shows during toilet, bathroom, kitchen or laundry use; stormwater trouble is tied to rain, downpipes, pits and surface drainage. Recording when the overflow occurs is one of the quickest ways to direct the investigation.
On sloping or subdivided Pascoe Vale South blocks, underground drains may run beside an original house, beneath a driveway or past a newer rear dwelling. Changes in level and generations of building work can make the route hard to infer from the closest fixture. CCTV inspection and pipe locating may help identify the position and condition of a recurring fault before excavation.
Not every problem needs full replacement. Clearing may be sufficient for a removable obstruction, and a localised defect may suit a targeted repair or partial replacement. A longer replacement becomes more practical when damage is widespread or several local repairs would leave an unreliable line. We explain the fault, access and proposed scope before approved excavation begins.
Tell us which fixtures or pits are affected, whether rain changes the symptom, what earlier drain work was completed and where inspection openings may be located. For urgent wastewater overflow call 03 9481 8686. See also our sewer repair and replacement and stormwater repair pages.

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.
