The Causes of Blocked Drains in Footscray

Intrusions into drains can be external (from elements like tree roots or moving soil) or internal (from trying to flush nappies and makeup wipes, or force food scraps and cooking oil down the drain).

You won’t have much control over external factors, but you can absolutely control what goes down your drain inside. Make sure to always clear your drain catch of food and endeavour not to let food scraps, hair, and other solids escape down the sink!

    Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains in Footscray

    Q.1 How do tree roots cause blocked drains in Footscray?

    The mature trees throughout Footscray have root systems that aggressively seek water. They penetrate the joints in older earthenware pipes, growing inside and creating persistent blockages that worsen over time.

    Q.2 Can blocked stormwater drains cause property damage?

    Absolutely. Footscray’s low-lying areas near the Maribyrnong River are particularly vulnerable. When stormwater drains are partially blocked, Melbourne’s intense downpours can cause flooding that damages foundations, landscaping, and ground-floor properties.

    Q.3 How quickly can you respond to drainage emergencies in Footscray?

    Our 24/7 emergency plumbers are strategically located to serve Footscray quickly. When you call 1800 842 943, we dispatch a fully equipped team immediately to address your blocked drain any time of day or night.
