Blocked Drains in Essendon

What's usually behind it in Essendon

Many Essendon homes still have the original terracotta sewer pipes. Their joints open up over time and tree roots find their way in.

Slow drains rarely fix themselves. We find the cause with a drain camera, clear it with a high-pressure jetter, and show you the footage so you know whether it's a one-off or a pipe that needs repair. For Essendon customers, that usually means same-day service.

Grand Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes are common in Essendon, and they need careful work around original tiles and joinery.

FAQ

Blocked Drains in Essendon: common questions

Will you need to dig up my yard?

Usually not. Most blockages are cleared with a jetter through an existing access point. We only recommend digging if the camera shows a collapsed pipe.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Recurring blockages in Essendon are usually tree roots or a dipped section of pipe. A camera inspection tells us which.

Can I see the camera footage?

Yes. We show you on screen and can send you the recording.

Who pays if the blockage is in the street?

If the blockage is in the water authority's sewer main, they are responsible. We can confirm where it is and help you report it.
