Frequent Causes of Blocked Drains in Hillside Homes and Businesses

Tree Root Invasion – Hillside’s Hidden Menace

Whether your home sits near the walking trails of Kororoit Creek or closer to Melton Highway, the combination of reactive clay soil and mature gum trees poses a constant threat to your drainage system. As the soil shifts and contracts, it creates cracks in older earthenware pipes, providing the perfect entry point for invasive tree roots seeking water.

Everyday Blockages That Disrupt Your Routine

Beyond environmental factors, daily household activities contribute to drain blockages. The build-up of grease, hair, and “flushable” wipes creates partial blockages inside your home’s plumbing, causing slow-draining sinks and showers short term, and full blockages that can attract pests in the long run.

Our Professional Drain Clearing for Blocked Drains in Hillside

At VicWide Emergency Plumbing, our professional approach to blocked drains in Hillside provides lasting solutions, not temporary fixes.

Advanced CCTV Drain Inspection Technology

Our state-of-the-art CCTV cameras provide accurate diagnostics of your drainage system, revealing exactly where tree roots have invaded or pipes have cracked due to soil movement. This technology, alongside our use of thermal cameras, allows us to see inside your pipes without excavation.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

Once we’ve identified the problem, our high-pressure water jetters blast away years of accumulated debris, grease build-up, and invasive tree roots. This method works particularly well for the single and double-storey brick veneer homes that define Hillside, safely clearing blockages without damaging your plumbing infrastructure.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains in Hillside

    Q.1 How do you clean a drain affected by tree roots?

    When dealing with tree root invasion common in Hillside’s established areas, we first use CCTV cameras to assess the damage. Then, our high-pressure water jetting equipment cuts through roots and clears the blockage.

    Q.2 What causes frequent drain blockages in Hillside homes?

    The reactive clay soil throughout Hillside causes ground movement that cracks pipes, especially in homes built during the 1990s and 2000s. These cracks allow aggressive tree roots to invade the drainage system. In addition to environmental factors, everyday household waste like grease and wet wipes contribute to blockages.

    Q.3 How quickly can you respond to a drainage emergency?

    Our 24/7 emergency service means we’re always available when drainage disasters strike. We understand that a blocked toilet or sewage backup can’t wait, especially in a busy family home. Our team responds quickly to all emergency calls throughout Hillside and surrounding suburbs.
