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
Real-time video inspection showing exactly what's blocking or damaging your drains. Identify tree root intrusion, pipe damage, collapsed sections, or blockage locations without excavation. Digital footage provided for insurance claims and maintenance records.
Perfect for: Recurring blockages, mysterious drainage issues, pre-purchase inspections, and locating problems before excavation.
Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning Melbourne
High-pressure water jetting that clears the toughest blockages and cleans drain walls completely. Removes tree roots, grease buildup, scale, and debris that simple augering can't touch. Prevents recurring blockages.
Perfect for: Stubborn blockages, grease trap lines, commercial kitchen drains, industrial drainage, and preventative maintenance.
Acoustic Leak Detection Melbourne
Advanced acoustic technology pinpoints hidden leaks without destructive testing. Locate leaks in walls, under floors, or underground without tearing apart your building. Save thousands in unnecessary demolition and repairs.
Perfect for: High water bills, hidden moisture damage, underground leaks, and leak detection in finished spaces.
Confined Space Entry & Safety
Licensed confined space entry for plumbing work in manholes, pump stations, underground tanks, and drainage pits. Full safety protocols, gas monitoring equipment, and trained personnel meeting Victorian WorkSafe requirements.
Perfect for: Underground drainage repairs, pump station maintenance, tank inspections, and any plumbing work requiring confined space entry permits.
