Blocked Drains
Blocked Drains
Blocked or slow drains in East Melbourne often come from root intrusion in old clay pipes around Fitzroy Gardens, plus shared apartment stacks along Wellington and Victoria Parade. Scott Berkefeld brings 35+ years clearing drains other plumbers couldn’t, using CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetting to diagnose causes and guard against repeat blockages, across East Melbourne and Richmond.

- Apartment stack blockages on Wellington and Victoria Parade – shared waste lines back up toilets and basins.
- Cafe and small venue kitchen drains – grease and coffee grounds need blocked drains jetting.
- Stormwater pits overflowing near Jolimont and Yarra Park – leaves and silt choke grates and lines.
