Doctor Plunger — Melbourne plumbing and blocked drain specialist

The Plumber Behind Doctor Plunger

A local, owner-operated plumbing business built on doing the job properly the first time.

Luke, licensed plumber and owner of Doctor Plunger

G'day, I'm Luke

I started Doctor Plunger because I was tired of seeing customers pushed into work they didn't need, quoted one price and charged another, or left waiting all day for a plumber who never showed. I wanted to run the kind of business I'd want turning up at my own place.

These days I specialise in drainage — blocked drains, CCTV camera inspections, high pressure jetting, pipe relining and drain repairs — alongside the general and emergency plumbing that keeps a home running. I invest in proper equipment because guessing costs you money, and I'd rather show you the footage than ask you to take my word for it.

When you call, you get me. I'll tell you what's wrong, what it costs, and what happens if you leave it. Then it's your call.

  • You always deal directly with the owner — no call centres or subcontractors.
  • Upfront pricing agreed before any work starts.
  • Licensed, fully insured and compliant with Victorian plumbing standards.
  • Drop sheets, shoe covers and a proper clean-up on every job.
  • Honest advice, even when the answer is 'you don't need that yet'.

A long mass of tree roots removed from a blocked sewer drain in Melbourne

Real jobs, real results

This came out of a single blocked sewer line in Melbourne's inner north. Old clay pipes and mature street trees are a classic combination around here — and once roots find a hairline crack, they don't stop. We cut them out, camera the line and show you exactly what condition the pipe is in before recommending anything further.

What Our Customers Say

Turned up on time, showed me the camera footage of the roots in the drain and explained everything without a hint of a sales pitch. Drain has been perfect since.
Sarah M. · Northcote
Called at 8pm with water coming up through the shower. He answered personally, arrived within the hour and had it under control. Absolute lifesaver.
David T. · Kew
Quoted upfront, stuck to the price and left the place cleaner than he found it. Finally a tradie I'll actually call again.
