EMERGENCIES DON'T FOLLOW
BUSINESS HOURS
Blocked drains backing up into your building. Hidden leaks destroying ceilings. Sewage overflowing in high-traffic areas. These problems demand immediate attention – not a callback next Tuesday.
VIP Plumbing Group provides rapid emergency response across Melbourne’s commercial facilities. We respond fast, diagnose accurately using advanced equipment, and resolve issues properly the first time. No temporary patches. No return visits for the same problem.
We’ve been handling commercial plumbing emergencies for 30+ years. Aged care facilities where residents can’t use bathrooms. Schools with blocked toilets affecting hundreds of students. Manufacturing plants where drainage failures halt production. Office buildings with mystery leaks damaging expensive fit-outs.
FAST RESPONSE. PROPER EQUIPMENT. PERMANENT SOLUTIONS.
OUR EMERGENCY & REACTIVE SERVICES
We handle urgent plumbing issues with the technology and expertise commercial facilities need:
CCTV Drain Inspection Melbourne
We use real-time camera inspections to see exactly what's blocking or damaging your drains. Whether it's tree root intrusion, pipe damage, collapsed sections, or a stubborn blockage, we pinpoint the problem without unnecessary digging. You will receive clear digital footage, which can be used for insurance claims, maintenance planning, or future reference.
Perfect for: Recurring blockages, mysterious drainage issues, pre-purchase inspections, and locating faults before excavation.
Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning Melbourne
High-pressure water jetting clears even the toughest blockages and thoroughly cleans the inside of your pipes. It removes tree roots, grease buildup, scale, and debris that traditional drain machines often leave behind. The result? Cleaner pipes and fewer recurring blockages.
Perfect for: Stubborn blockages, grease trap lines, commercial kitchen drains, industrial drainage, and preventative maintenance.
Acoustic Leak Detection Melbourne
Using advanced acoustic technology, we locate hidden leaks without tearing apart walls, floors, or landscaped areas. We can pinpoint leaks inside walls, beneath concrete slabs, or underground - accurately and efficiently. Save thousands in unnecessary demolition and repair costs.
Perfect for: Unexplained high water bills, hidden moisture damage, underground leaks, and leak detection in finished spaces.
Confined Space Entry & Safety
Some plumbing work requires entry into manholes, pump stations, underground tanks, and drainage pits. We're licenced and trained for confined space entry, following strict safety protocols and Victorian WorkSafe requirements. We use certified gas monitoring equipment and safety systems to ensure all work is carried out safely and compliantly.
Perfect for: Underground drainage repairs, pump station maintenance, tank inspections, and any plumbing work requiring confined space entry permits.

COMMON EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WE HANDLE
Severe drain blockages backing up into buildings
This can be from toilets, sinks, or floor drains overflowing during business hours, affecting normal operations.
Main sewer line failures
This can be from complete drainage blockages that shut down bathrooms or kitchens and require immediate CCTV diagnosis and hydro jetting.
Hidden leaks causing damage
This can involve water stains that spread across ceilings or walls with no obvious source.
Burst pipes flooding facilities
This can be from sudden pipe failures that cause internal flooding and require immadiate isolation, repairs and coordination for restoration.
Confined space emergencies
This can involve pump station failures, underground drainage breakdowns, or tank issues that require licenced confined space entry and urgent repairs.
Trade waste system failures
This can involve grease traps or oil separators that back up in commercial kitchens or industrial sites.
Stormwater drainage issues
This can be from blocked storm drains during heavy rain, leading to flooding around buildings, car parks, or loading areas.
Tree root intrusion
This can be from tree roots blocking sewer lines, and cause recurring blockages. With CCTV confirmation, these can be removed with hydro jetting.
Pre-settlement emergency inspections
This can involve urgent CCTV drain inspections before property settlement deadlines.
