Blocked Drain FAQs

Can a blocked drain cause damage to my home?

Yes. Left too long, blocked drains can cause water damage, flooding and structural issues. The earlier you get it looked at, the simpler and cheaper the fix usually is.

Can tree roots really block drains?

Yes, and it's one of the most common causes of blocked drains in Melbourne, especially in 'green' suburbs. Roots follow moisture and can push through small cracks or pipe joints over time. Once they're in, they don't stop growing. During periods of extended drought or lack of rainfall roots will grow deeper and wider to seek out water. A crack in a drain is all a root needs. Once in, it will expand and weaken the pipe. With enough time and pressure on the pipe, a pipe collapse is inevitable.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Recurring blockages usually could mean something like wet wipes or sanitary items are persistently being flushed, that an obstruction wasn't fully cleared the first time, or there's an underlying issue such as tree root intrusion, a damaged pipe, or a design problem with the drainage itself. A camera inspection is usually the quickest way to find out what's actually going on.

What areas do you service?

We provide plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling services across Melbourne. From urgent repairs to ongoing maintenance, our team delivers fast, reliable service to homes, apartments and businesses across the city. View our full list of service areas here.

Can blocked drains cause damage?

Yes. If left untreated, blocked drains can lead to overflows, leaks and property damage.

Early intervention can help avoid more costly repairs.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

It depends on where the blockage is and what's caused it. This is why in most cases we always start with a CCTV of your drain to determine the cause and extent of the blockage. Your technician will let you know what's needed before starting any further work on the drain.

Once the nature of the blockage is understood, access requirements are identified, and a plan for how we're going to treat the blockage (hydro jetting, cabling etc) is made, we’ll provide a clear upfront quote for your approval before any work begins. Typically you should expect blockage jobs to be quoted in milestones, as it's truely impossible to know how much work is involved until you begin.

Majority of jobs are able to be completed during the initial works, however should there be extensive damage, root intrusion, or sectional collapse more work can be required.

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

Common signs include slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells, or water backing up into sinks, showers, or toilets.

If you're noticing more than one at the same time, there's likely a blockage somewhere in the line.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

Yes. All of our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, so you can feel confident the work is carried out safely and to Australian standards.
