Blocked Drains Hallam
In Hallam, the story behind most blocked drains is the same one plumbers hear on nearly every older street: tree roots in ageing clay pipes. The suburb’s established homes were plumbed in clay that cracks and opens at the joints over the decades, and roots follow the moisture straight in. Add a light-industrial pocket of factories with their own drainage, and you have the range of blocked drains in Hallam that Around Town Plumbing clears week in, week out. We find the cause on camera, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and re-camera to prove it runs clear, and we are honest when a pipe needs more than a clear.

Tree Roots in Hallam's Older Clay Pipes
Once a root is into a clay pipe it nets every bit of grease and paper that passes, so the drain slows, then blocks, then blocks again a few weeks after each clear. Sometimes jetting the roots out buys you a good while. Sometimes the camera shows the pipe has cracked or partly collapsed around the intrusion, and no clear will hold until that section is repaired. We have dug up plenty of Hallam pipes where the fix was a metre or so of excavation and a length of new pipe, and we would rather tell you that plainly than take your money for a clear we know will not last.
Same-Day Blocked Drain Repairs in Hallam.
Camera, jet, and repair when it is needed
Every job runs the same way. The CCTV camera goes down first and shows the real cause and where it sits. Then we jet the blockage under high pressure, cutting roots and scouring the pipe wall clean. Then a second camera pass confirms the line is clear. If the footage shows a broken pipe, we show you the picture and quote the excavation and repair honestly. We do drain and pipe repair, so you get the whole fix from one team rather than a clear today and a bigger problem later.
About Around Town Plumbing
We are a family business run by brothers Aidan and Liam Baggoley, based in Dandenong and working the outer south-east since 2007. Our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, every job carries our 100% seven-year workmanship guarantee, and our customers rate us a straight 5.0 across 42 reviews. The full accreditation set sits on our main blocked-drains page. For a Hallam job, what counts is that we turn up the same day and go back to work for seven years.
Homes and the factory pocket
Hallam is mostly family homes with a genuine light-industrial pocket, so we serve both. For homeowners it is roots, grease and the occasional foreign object; for the factories and their property managers it is trade drainage and yard stormwater. A blocked line in a multi-dwelling block or a working factory affects more than one party at once, and coordinating that is our core lane. We respond the same day off a fleet of ten stocked vans and report back with footage of what we found.
Sewer, stormwater and responsibility
Two systems run under a Hallam property. The sewer lateral from your house to the connection is the owner’s responsibility; past it, the sewer main is South East Water’s. Public stormwater drains in the street are the City of Casey and Melbourne Water’s. If you are unsure which is blocked, the camera settles it, and that can decide who pays.
Same-day response
We offer same-day response for blocked drains within business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm. We are not a 24-hour operation and do not claim to be; when you call, a real local plumber answers.

Blocked Drain FAQs
How do you clear a really badly blocked drain?
We find the cause on camera, then jet it under high pressure, which cuts through roots and hardened grease a plunger cannot reach. If the pipe itself is broken, jetting alone will not hold, so we quote the repair.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain outside my house?
The drains and sewer lateral on your property are yours; the public stormwater drain in the street is Casey and Melbourne Water’s, and the sewer main is South East Water’s.
What will it cost?
It depends on the blockage and whether the pipe is damaged, so we quote after seeing the line. Either way it is a fixed price agreed before we start.
