CCTV inspection lets us identify the location and cause of a stormwater problem before digging. Whether the pipe has roots, cracks, a collapse or a failed connection, we recommend the most practical repair—clearing, local excavation, pipe relining or replacement.
Common signs of a stormwater drain problem include water pooling in the yard, overflowing downpipes, flooded garages, slow-draining pits, erosion and recurring blockages after rain.
For a stormwater issue in Melbourne, our licensed plumbers can inspect the drain, explain the cause and provide a clear repair plan.

Sudden flooding, overflowing stormwater drains and blocked downpipes need prompt attention. Our team can assess urgent drainage problems, locate the blockage or damage and work to restore safe drainage.
When cleaning alone will not solve the problem, we repair or replace cracked, collapsed or poorly graded stormwater pipes. We use the right method for the site and minimise disruption wherever practical.

Signs your stormwater drainage system may need repair include slow draining water after rainfall, pooled water around your property, unpleasant odours, or visible damage to pipes. Regular maintenance checks can help detect problems early and prevent costly repairs.
Proper maintenance ensures that your stormwater and drainage systems work effectively to prevent flooding, water damage, and soil erosion around your property. Regular cleaning and inspections can prevent blockages and help avoid expensive repairs or replacements in the future.
Timing depends on the cause and access to the pipe. Simple blockages can often be cleared on the day, while damaged or collapsed pipes may need further repair work. After inspection, we explain the recommended solution and timeframe clearly.
Yes, at Melbourne Plumbing Co., we provide transparent quotes before any work begins. This ensures you know exactly what the repair will cost, with no hidden fees. We believe in honest communication and will always keep you informed throughout the process.
