Reservoir homes and their plumbing
Most Reservoir houses are single-storey weatherboard or brick veneer, built around 1950 to 1970 on a raised timber floor. There are older interwar bungalows near the Preston border and new townhouses across the suburb.
- Water and waste pipes run under the raised floor, so a slow leak can go unseen until the floor feels damp or the water bill jumps.
- Decades of extensions and repairs usually mean a mix of old and new pipe.
- Townhouses on subdivided blocks add new fixtures and new connections to the drains.
Clay ground and cracked drains
Reservoir sits on reactive clay from old volcanic rock along the Edgars Creek and Merri Creek corridors. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and trees drying the ground make the movement worse.
Underground pipes move with it. Joints shift and crack, and roots grow in for the water. A drain that blocks every few months usually has a damaged joint, not just a blockage.

Plumber Reservoir questions
How can I tell if there's a leak under the floor?
Turn off every tap and check the water meter. If it still moves, water is escaping somewhere, often under a raised floor.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
In clay ground that moves, roots get into cracked joints and grow back after clearing. The camera shows the damage, then relining or a section replacement fixes it.
Do you cover the suburbs around Reservoir?
Yes. Kingsbury, Preston, Thomastown, Bundoora and the rest of Melbourne.
