What We Do in Middle Park
Sand clearance from blocked pipes
Beach sand works into cracked pipe joints and fills them over time. We jet the sand out and reline the pipe to seal joints permanently. It's one of the most common jobs we do this close to the coast.
Heritage-friendly pipe relining
Middle Park's heritage overlay means you can't dig up most properties. pipe relining creates a new pipe inside the old one through a single access point. No excavation, no damage to heritage features.
Shared drainage clearing and repair
Attached terraces in Middle Park share old sewer runs. When one property's waste backs up into the neighbour's, we clear the shared line and CCTV it to find the fault point.
Stormwater upgrades for flood-prone properties
Low-lying blocks near the beach flood regularly. We clear blocked stormwater, repair collapsed sections, and improve capacity to handle heavy rain events.
Emergency sewer backups

Why Middle Park Homes Need Drain Specialists
Middle Park is one of Melbourne's lowest-lying suburbs. It sits right on the beach and the water table here is extremely high. Groundwater constantly pushes against old drainage pipes and gets into every weak joint and crack. After heavy rain, the whole system struggles because there's simply nowhere for the water to drain to.
The housing stock is mostly Victorian cottages and Edwardian terraces, many on the heritage overlay. The drainage under these homes was laid in the 1880s and 1890s. Sand infiltration is a constant problem this close to the beach. Sand works into cracked terracotta joints and gradually fills the pipe. Flow drops off bit by bit until you've got a full blockage.
Attached cottages and terraces share drainage easements. We see it all the time in Middle Park. One property blocks up and sewage backs up into the neighbour's laundry or bathroom. These shared systems need someone who understands how old multi-property drainage works.
Heritage restrictions make it harder too. You can't just dig up the front yard of a heritage-listed cottage. We use no-dig methods like pipe relining where possible, which means we fix the pipes without disturbing heritage streetscapes or established gardens.
South East Water manages the sewerage network in Middle Park 3206. The street mains are theirs. Your private drains from the boundary trap to your house are your responsibility.
