What We Do in Templestowe
Root clearing on large blocks
Templestowe's big blocks mean long drain runs with lots of tree exposure. We clear roots and reline to prevent regrowth.
Stormwater management on hilly terrain
Sloped blocks push heavy runoff through drainage that wasn't built for it. We clear blockages and upgrade systems.
Ageing PVC pipe repairs
Early PVC from the 1970s-80s develops cracks at the joints. We reline or replace sections without tearing up landscaping.
Pre-purchase drain inspections
Buying in Templestowe? A CCTV inspection before settlement reveals the pipe condition under those big gardens.
Emergency drain service

Why Templestowe Homes Need Drain Specialists
Templestowe has some of the largest residential blocks in Melbourne's east, and that means longer drain runs from house to street. More pipe in the ground means more opportunities for problems.
The housing is a mix of 1970s-80s builds on the bigger blocks and newer prestige homes. The older places sit on original PVC and earthenware drainage that's reaching 40-50 years old. Even the PVC from that era had thinner walls and weaker joints than modern pipe.
Templestowe's leafy character is the biggest drain threat. Large established trees on big blocks send roots deep and wide. Native gums, oaks, and liquidambars all target sewer lines for moisture. With longer pipe runs, there's more root entry points.
The terrain is hilly, especially around Templestowe Village and towards the Yarra River. Slope means fast stormwater runoff and higher pressure on drainage systems during storms. Retaining walls and terraced gardens can redirect water into places it shouldn't go.
Yarra Valley Water manages sewerage in Templestowe 3106. The mains in the street are theirs. Your drains from the boundary trap to the house are your responsibility.
