Main Sewer Line Blockages Melbourne

Several drains slow or gurgling at once? Toilet bubbling when you run a tap? Plumb Melbourne clears blocked sewer lines across south-east Melbourne and uses a camera to find out what is causing the blockage.

When one fixture is slow, the problem is usually in that fixture's own pipe. When several drains are slow together, or water backs up at the lowest point in the house, the blockage is usually further down the line, in the main drain that carries everything away from the property.

Common causes include tree roots getting into older clay pipes, cracked or displaced joints that catch debris, and a build-up of grease and waste. Our licensed plumbers clear the line using a drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, then inspect it with a CCTV camera so you can see what caused the blockage and whether the pipe needs repair. If the problem turns out to be in the water authority's sewer rather than your property drain, we will tell you who to contact.

We service homes, rentals, strata properties, and commercial sites. We service Glen Iris, Camberwell, Malvern, Toorak, Caulfield, Carnegie, Bentleigh, Brighton and surrounding inner east and south-east Melbourne suburbs.

When you need to call a plumber

Several drains slow or gurgling at the same time

We find where the main drain is restricted and clear it with a snake or high-pressure jetting.

Toilet bubbling or gurgling when a tap or washing machine runs

We check the whole drain line rather than just the fixture that is gurgling.

Water backing up at the lowest drain in the house

We clear the line so wastewater can flow away, and test that it does.

Sewage smell or overflow at the overflow relief gully outside

We attend promptly, clear the blockage and check the overflow point is draining.

Sewer blockages that keep coming back

We inspect the pipe by camera and give you a clear record of the cause and what, if anything, needs repair.

How do I know if the blockage is in my main sewer line?

If one fixture is slow, the problem is usually in that fixture's own pipe. If several drains are slow or gurgling at once, if the toilet bubbles when you run a tap, or if water backs up at the lowest drain in the house, the blockage is likely in the main drain further down the line. If water is overflowing, stop using water in the house and call a plumber. A camera inspection shows where the blockage is and what is causing it.
