Blocked stormwater drains can prevent rainwater from draining away from your property, increasing the risk of overflowing gutters, pooling water, localised flooding and damage around the home. These blockages are particularly common during Melbourne’s wetter months.
Common causes include leaves, soil, tree roots, silt, broken pipes and debris carried into the drainage system during heavy rain. We can inspect the stormwater line using CCTV camera equipment, identify the location and cause of the blockage, and clear it using the most suitable method.
If your stormwater drain repeatedly overflows or water pools around grates during rain, contact us before the problem causes further damage.
A blocked shower drain commonly causes slow drainage, standing water, unpleasant smells or gurgling sounds from the bathroom pipes. The blockage may be caused by a buildup of hair, soap residue, body oils or mineral deposits, but recurring problems can also indicate a deeper blockage in the connected drainage line.
Zabs Plumbing clears blocked shower drains throughout Melbourne using professional drain-cleaning equipment. If the blockage continues to return, we can inspect the pipework to determine whether there is a more serious underlying problem.
A blocked sewer drain requires prompt attention, particularly when wastewater begins backing up through toilets, showers or floor drains. Other warning signs include foul smells, gurgling pipes and several fixtures draining slowly at the same time.
We locate the blockage before clearing the sewer line with professional equipment such as hydro jetting or an electric drain cleaner. Where damaged, collapsed or tree-root-affected pipes are found, we can explain the available drain repair options.
Drain blockages often develop gradually before causing a complete overflow. Arrange an inspection if you notice:
