Blocked Drains in Melbourne

Blocked drains are our speciality — not a sideline. We clear the blockage, then show you exactly why it happened so it does not come back next winter.

What's involved

Most blocked drains in Melbourne's older suburbs come down to three things: tree roots in clay pipes, fat and grease build-up, or a collapsed section of old earthenware. Clearing the blockage is the easy part. Understanding the cause is what stops you calling a plumber again in six months.

We arrive with high pressure water jetting equipment and a drain camera on every job, so we can clear and diagnose in the same visit. You get a clear explanation, photos or footage of the problem, and a written quote before any further work happens.

If a repair is needed, we talk you through your options honestly — including the cheap fix and the permanent one — and let you decide.

Why customers choose us for this

  • Same-day service in most inner north and eastern suburbs
  • High pressure jetting, not just a quick rod through
  • CCTV footage so you can see the cause yourself
  • Upfront pricing agreed before we start

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.
