Preston homes and their plumbing
Preston is in the City of Darebin, and most homes are three bedroom houses. Inter-war bungalows sit alongside new townhouses, units and apartments.
- Older houses often still have clay or earthenware sewer pipes. Tree roots grow into the joints and the same drain blocks again.
- New townhouses and apartments often share one sewer line, so wipes and grease can back up into more than one home.
- Low, flat streets near the Preston Main Drain need pits and stormwater pipes that can take heavy rain.
What we do in Preston
Blocked drains and sewer
A CCTV camera finds the cause, then a jet blaster or electric eel clears it. You see the footage. See blocked sewer.
Burst pipes
Turn the water off at the meter and call. We find the break and repair or replace the section.
Gas leaks and gas pipes
We find the leak and repair it, and replace old gas pipe where it's needed.
Hot water replacement
Rinnai, Rheem, Vulcan, Thermann and Aquamax. For a unit that might be saved, see hot water repairs.
Damaged pipes
Cracked or root-filled sewer, drain and stormwater pipes relined without digging, or the section replaced. See pipe relining.
Stormwater near the Preston Main Drain
The SES says some older stormwater drains in Darebin don't have the capacity of modern ones. With flat ground and more run-off from housing, areas near the Preston Main Drain are at risk of flash flooding after heavy rain.
Clear pits, connected downpipes and a pipe free of silt and roots help your block drain. A blocked street pit is the council's job.
Heritage streets
Preston has seven residential precincts under a Heritage Overlay, such as Bruce Street. Outside works there can need a Darebin council permit, though some minor works are exempt.
Relining a broken sewer or drain from inside the pipe means no trench through the front garden.

Plumber Preston questions
Why does my drain keep blocking?
In older Preston houses it's often roots in a clay sewer pipe. The camera shows the cause, and relining or replacing the section deals with the joint the roots get through.
What do I do if I smell gas?
Turn the gas off at the meter or the bottle, open the windows, don't use switches or flames, and call.
Do you cover all of Preston?
Yes, and all of Melbourne. Our quickest times include Preston, Reservoir, Coburg, Northcote and Heidelberg.
