Drain cleaning in Somerville

Somerville is an inland Peninsula suburb that's grown a lot, blending newer housing estates with older semi-rural blocks. The clay-heavy soil and the mix of new and ageing pipework drive the drainage problems we see here.

We service all of Somerville with fast callouts, CCTV diagnosis and clear pricing agreed before we start.

Common drain problems in Somerville

Reactive clay soil

Somerville's clay soil swells and shrinks with the seasons, cracking and shifting drainage pipes and leading to blockages and leaks.

Tree roots

Established gardens and street trees send roots into cracked or jointed pipes, a common cause of recurring blockages.

Newer estate drainage

Newer estates can still block when fat, wipes or debris build up, or when subsoil drains and stormwater pits silt up.

Ageing pipework on older blocks

Older semi-rural properties often have clay or early PVC drains that crack and sag over time.

What we do

Our drain services in Somerville

From a backed-up toilet to roots through a sewer, we diagnose the real cause with a camera, then aim to fix the underlying cause — not just the immediate blockage.

Questions

Blocked drains in Somerville — FAQ

Do you service all of Somerville?
Yes — the estates and the older semi-rural blocks, plus neighbouring Hastings, Mornington and Frankston. Call 0451 707 564 for a same-day callout.
Why do drains crack in Somerville's clay soil?
Clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that constant movement stresses underground pipes until they crack or pull apart at joints. A CCTV inspection shows the damage so we can repair or reline the affected section.
How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
We provide clear pricing before work begins — you'll always know the price before we start. The final price depends on the blockage, access, the equipment required and whether a CCTV inspection or follow-up repairs are needed, and we'll talk you through it on site before any work happens.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours drain callouts?
Yes. Blocked drains don't wait for business hours, so we offer 24/7 emergency callouts across South-East Melbourne. If your drain is backing up right now, stop using sinks and toilets and call us straight away.
Can you do a CCTV drain camera inspection?
Yes. We run a CCTV camera down the line to find the exact cause and location of the problem, so you can see what's wrong on the screen and we fix the real issue instead of just clearing it temporarily.
