What We Do in Moorabbin
Commercial grease removal
Moorabbin's commercial areas dump grease into drainage. We blast it out with hydro jetting and get drains flowing properly again. regular maintenance stops it building up.
Post-war pipe replacement
Concrete pipes from the 1950s-60s are reaching the end. We reline or replace degraded sections to handle today's usage without a full dig-up.
Townhouse drainage connections
New townhouse developments overload old sewer mains. We inspect existing infrastructure and advise on what needs upgrading before new connections go in.
CCTV inspections for commercial properties
Commercial landlords and tenants need to know what's under their property. We run CCTV through the entire drainage system and report on condition.
Emergency drain clearing

Why Moorabbin Homes Need Drain Specialists
Moorabbin is a mix of residential streets and light industrial areas, and that mix means different drain problems depending on where you are. The industrial zones along South Road and around the Moorabbin Airport precinct have drains that cop grease, chemicals, and trade waste. Residential streets have the usual post-war pipe problems. It's a different job depending on which part of Moorabbin you're in.
Most of the residential homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Standard post-war brick houses on decent blocks. The concrete sewer pipes that went in with them are now 60 to 70 years old. Concrete degrades over time. The internal surface roughens, catches debris, and the joints crack as the sandy clay soil around them shifts.
Townhouse development is changing Moorabbin fast. Older homes on larger blocks get knocked down and replaced with three or four townhouses. Each one has a kitchen, bathroom, and laundry connecting to the same sewer main that used to service a single home. The increased load causes problems, especially where old concrete mains haven't been upgraded.
The mixed-use areas are the trickiest. Where commercial properties sit next to homes, the drainage often shares infrastructure that wasn't designed for both. Grease from commercial kitchens, runoff from workshops, and normal household waste all end up in the same pipes. Grease buildup is a constant problem in these shared sections.
South East Water manages the sewerage network in Moorabbin 3189. The street sewer mains are their responsibility. Your private drains from the boundary trap to your property are yours to maintain.
