Drainage Experts Serving Melbourne & Surrounding Suburbs
Melbourne Drains has spent years clearing, repairing and inspecting drains across the Inner East, so whether you’re in a Victorian terrace in Richmond or a family home in Balwyn, we know exactly what’s likely causing your problem before we even arrive.
Every suburb drains differently, and the Inner East is no exception. Streets like Glenferrie Road and Camberwell Junction sit on some of Melbourne’s oldest sewer infrastructure, with heritage-overlay properties adding extra access and excavation considerations most plumbers aren’t familiar with. Our technicians have worked on drains under century-old elm and oak-lined nature strips, through heritage-listed properties, and across the older stormwater networks that service this part of Melbourne. That local know-how means fewer guessing games and faster fixes.

Is Your Inner East Home Overdue For A Drain Check?
Established streetscapes are part of what makes suburbs like Kew and Camberwell so desirable, but mature root systems are also the number one cause of drain damage we see in this area. Watch for these warning signs:
Slow-draining sinks or showers: These gradually worsen over days or weeks.
Gurgling noises: These can come from drains, particularly after heavy rain.
Water pooling: Look for pooling near garden beds, driveways or side paths.
Musty or damp smells: These can indicate an issue around the yard or under the house.
Cracks or lifting: Look for cracks or lifting in paths and driveways near underground pipe runs.
Rising damp: In older sections of the home, rising damp can often trace back to a compromised stormwater line.
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth getting a CCTV inspection before a slow leak becomes a full pipe replacement.
