What We Do in Murrumbeena
Root clearing in Edwardian-era earthenware pipes
The oldest homes in Murrumbeena have some of the oldest pipes. Roots love them. We clear the roots and can reline to protect the pipe.
Drain repairs in reactive clay soil
Clay soil movement cracks pipes over time. We inspect with CCTV and repair or reline without excavation where possible.
Blocked drains from grease and buildup
Renovated kitchens in older homes often connect to original drainage. Grease and soap build up at the junction. We blast through it with hydro jetting.
Pre-purchase drain inspections
Murrumbeena’s mix of housing ages means drainage condition varies hugely. A CCTV inspection before buying tells you what you’re getting.
Emergency sewer clearing
Backed-up sewer? We’re 8 minutes away in Oakleigh. Fast response, fixed price, guaranteed clearing.
Why Murrumbeena Homes Need Drain Specialists
Murrumbeena has a beautiful mix of homes. Some Edwardian-era houses near the station, plenty of post-war brick veneers through the residential streets, and newer townhouse builds filling in where older homes once stood. The drainage underneath tells the same story - a mix of very old pipes and relatively new ones.
The Edwardian homes near Murrumbeena station can have drainage that’s 100 years old. Original earthenware pipes that have been cracking and collecting roots for decades. The post-war homes from the 1940s-60s have terracotta and concrete pipes that aren’t much better after 60-plus years in the ground.
Murrumbeena sits on clay soil that’s common across the Glen Eira area. It’s reactive - it expands and contracts with moisture changes. This constant movement cracks pipes and opens joints over time.
Boyd Park and the established gardens throughout the suburb are home to mature liquidambars, oaks, elms, and native species. All of them send roots hunting for moisture.
