Common Blocked Drains Issues in Highton
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked drains in Highton. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate pipe joints, causing major blockages and even pipe damage over time.
Grease and Fat Build-Up
Kitchen drains in Highton homes frequently block due to grease, fat, and food scraps washing down the sink. These substances solidify inside pipes, gradually restricting water flow.
Broken or Collapsed Pipes
Older properties in Highton may have ageing clay or terracotta pipes that crack or collapse, causing persistent drain blockages that require professional repair or relining.

Real Plumbing Stories from Highton
Tackling Blocked Drain at a Highton Residence
During a busy Saturday morning, a first-home buyer in Highton near Waurn Ponds Creek was dealing with sewage odour drifting through the house and slow drainage in every bathroom. With Highton experiencing significant development over the past decade, many older homes in the area face plumbing challenges as ageing infrastructure meets modern demand. A neighbour who had used Fix It Right before recommended us, so they called expecting good service and were not disappointed.
“A huge thanks to Hector, Jack, Rachel, and the team at Fix-it-Right Plumbing for installing the drainage system in my backyard. From the initial call to the installation, the team were highly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Hector went above and beyond and explained the entire process. I was very impressed with their work and I would not hesitate to recommend them.”
— Michelle Collins ★★★★★
Our plumber brought their years of experience to bear on this job. After a hands-on inspection, they diagnosed the underlying cause and set about fixing it properly the first time. The work was completed on schedule, and they cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. Michelle has since recommended Fix It Right Plumbing to several neighbours. The whole process, from the initial phone call to the final clean-up, took less time than expected. Michelle commented that the professionalism shown by our team was a refreshing change from previous experiences with other tradespeople.
Same-Day Drain Clearing for a Highton Customer
Just before dawn on a weekday, a homeowner in Highton near Highton Village noticed muddy water seeping up through an outdoor drain near the back of the property. The household had always prided themselves on keeping their Highton home in good condition, so when the plumbing issue appeared, they wanted it addressed properly.
“I called yesterday and someone was able to come out this morning. Incredibly easy and friendly booking service with great communication. Dave (plumber) called ahead to let me know he was nearby, was extremely friendly and professional. We had been told we may need to upgrade our storm water drains by another contractor, Dave did a really thorough check of the system and informed us this wasn't really necessary. He also checked our toilet as we had been having some issues and gave us pricing options for replacement. He also gave us some advice on other issues that may pop up, but that weren't a priority for now. Overall extremely happy with the service. Professional, friendly, explained all our options and there was no pressure to make decisions or book. Highly recommend.”

“It is hard when you are hit with multiple plumbing problems but as before I know who to call to rescue: FIX IT RIGHT PLUMBING of course. Our plumber was Hector. He was super helpful, installed a new boiler, fixed leaking taps, unblocked shower and every time he entered house he took his boots off, how polite and respectable and he is quite cute to. Now I can relax, have a glass of Shiraz knowing who to call in plumbing emergency. Cheers everybody!”

They were relieved to speak with a real person at our Melbourne office who understood the urgency and booked a plumber straight away.
“Chris contacted us immediately after booking and arrived on time. Fixed our hot water tap in the laundry, cleaned our drains.

We highly recommend their service. Thanks guys, we are very happy:)”
