What We Do in Mordialloc
Root clearing near the creek
Melaleuca and eucalypt roots thrive in the damp, sandy soil near Mordialloc Creek. We jet them out and reline pipes to stop them coming back.
Stormwater flood prevention
Low-lying Mordialloc streets cop flooding when stormwater backs up. We clear blocked drains, repair collapsed sections, and improve flow capacity.
Weatherboard home pipe repairs
Older cottages on stumps have accessible but weather-exposed pipes underneath. We repair and reline these runs so they last properly.
High water table pipe stabilisation
Pipes in saturated ground shift and sag. We re-grade, reline, or replace sections that have lost their fall due to ground movement.
Emergency sewer blockages
Sewer backing up in Mordialloc? We service Kingston regularly and can get there fast. Call 1300 303 247.
Why Mordialloc Homes Need Drain Specialists
Mordialloc sits low and flat between the creek and the bay. That location means a high water table, especially close to Mordialloc Creek. When the ground is permanently damp, pipes sit in saturated soil. The water softens the ground around them, causing them to shift, sag, and separate at the joints.
The housing stock is a real mix. Old weatherboard cottages on stumps sit next to 1960s-70s brick homes and modern townhouse developments. The weatherboard homes on stumps have exposed pipe runs underneath that are easy to inspect but cop weather damage. The brick homes usually have pipes buried in sandy ground that's hard to stabilise.
Sandy soil near the creek and beach is the root cause of most drainage problems here. Melaleuca and eucalypt roots travel easily through sand, and they'll follow any moisture trail straight to your sewer pipe. Once inside, they grow thick and fast. We clear root-filled pipes in Mordialloc every week.
Heavy rain events overwhelm stormwater systems near the creek. The area was developed when the population was smaller, and the stormwater infrastructure wasn't built for the density Mordialloc has now. During a downpour, drains back up because the system can't handle the volume.
South East Water manages the sewerage network in Mordialloc 3195. They look after the street sewer mains. Your private drains from the boundary trap to your house are your responsibility.

Common Blocked Drain Questions in Mordialloc
How quickly can you get to Mordialloc?
Our Oakleigh base covers Mordialloc. We aim to be out the same day you call, and emergencies go to the front of the queue.
What causes most blocked drains in Mordialloc?
Tree roots and sand. The sandy soil near the creek lets roots travel fast, and they'll find any crack in old pipes. Sand also washes into drains through damaged joints, building up over time until the pipe blocks.
Who manages sewerage in Mordialloc?
South East Water manages the sewer mains in Mordialloc 3195. Your private drains from the boundary trap to your house are your responsibility to maintain.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Mordialloc?
Starting from $45, our service call fee gets a qualified plumber to your door. They assess the job and give you a fixed price quote on the spot. Go ahead with the work and the $45 normally comes off your quoted price.
Why does my drain keep blocking after heavy rain?
Mordialloc is low-lying and close to the creek, so the water table rises during rain. That extra groundwater can flood into cracked sewer pipes through damaged joints. Combined with stormwater systems that can't cope with the volume, drains back up fast. A CCTV inspection will show where water is getting in.
