Blocked Drain Clearing from BlockedDrainPlumberMelbourne.au in Melbourne: we clear blockages fast and test the pipe so water flows again. Call or use the contact form to get a quote and same-day assessment.
Blocked Drain Clearing is a type of plumbing service that removes blockages and restores full flow in household and small commercial drains. Blocked Drain Clearing differs from full pipe replacement because it focuses on removing the cause rather than replacing the whole pipe. Melbourne homeowners and small business owners typically need Blocked Drain Clearing when sinks, showers or toilets drain slowly or back up after rain.
Professional Blocked Drain Clearing Services in Melbourne
Need a reliable local plumber? We're the team locals call for blocked drains. Blocked Drain Plumber services in the area include inspections and on-site clearing. Sound familiar? A sink or shower that drains slowly usually means a partial blockage forming.
Our work stops backups, removes bad smells, and prevents pipe damage because we clear the root cause and test the line after work. The result? Fewer blockages and less chance of flooding in wet seasons. You get clear drains and a simple repair plan.
And yes, you can try DIY kits, but they often shift the clog deeper. So, professional service matters because our tools and CCTV checks find and clear the real cause. That reduces repeat visits and unexpected costs.

Request a video inspectionBenefits of Blocked Drain Clearing
- Faster water flow: Clearing blockages restores normal drain speed quickly. That means sinks and showers drain without pooling or slow drainage, which prevents odors.
- Lower flood risk: Removing clogs prevents backyard or indoor flooding because water has an open path away from your home.
- Reduced repairs later: Clearing roots and grease now prevents bigger pipe damage that leads to costly replacements later.
- Clear diagnosis: CCTV inspection shows the issue so you know the cause and cost. That avoids guesswork and unneeded work.
- Health and hygiene: Clearing drains removes standing water and bacteria buildup that cause smells and health risks.
- Cost control: Targeted clearing is usually cheaper than pipe replacement because the work is focused and fast.
What Our Blocked Drain Clearing Includes
CCTV Pipe Inspection
We run a small camera through the drain to see the blockage. The CCTV shows root intrusion, grease, or collapsed pipe so we know what action to take. You get video evidence and a clear plan.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
We use water jetting to cut and flush roots, grease and scale. Water jetting cleans pipe walls and removes material that causes repeat clogs. The result is restored flow and a cleaner pipe surface.
Mechanical Rodding
For solid blockages we use mechanical rods that break apart heavy material. Rodding is fast for hair and soap build-up in bathroom drains. When used after inspection, rodding prevents further damage because we avoid blind work.
Final Test and Advice
After clearing we run water tests and a final camera pass. That confirms the pipe is clear and shows any remaining damage. Then we give simple tips to keep drains clear, like trap cleaning and hair guards.

Signs You Need Blocked Drain Clearing in Melbourne
Not sure if you need Blocked Drain Clearing? Here are warning signs Melbourne homeowners and small businesses should watch for:
- Slow drainage: Water pools in the sink or shower after use. That usually means a partial clog.
- Bad smells: Foul odour from drains that won't go away suggests trapped organic matter in the line.
- Gurgling sounds: Toilets or drains gurgle when nearby fixtures run, a sign of trapped air from blockages.
- Backups: Water returns to basins or toilet after flushing, meaning the waste can't flow away properly.
- Repeated clogs: If blockages return soon after clearing, there may be roots or damage that needs inspection.
- Outdoor pooling: Water collects near storm drains after rain, which may mean a blocked storm or yard drain.
If you notice any of these signs, contact BlockedDrainPlumberMelbourne.au for a professional assessment and a clear plan.
What Affects Blocked Drain Clearing Cost in Melbourne
The cost of Blocked Drain Clearing in Melbourne varies based on several factors:
Location and access
If the drain is easy to reach, the job is quicker. Tight access in older terraces often adds time and cost because we need extra care and tools.
Cause of blockage
Grease and hair take less time than root intrusion. Roots may need jetting plus root removal, which increases the work needed and the price.
Pipe condition
If CCTV shows cracked or collapsed pipe, clearing may be followed by repair or relining. That extra step changes the total cost because it involves more materials and time.
After-hours or emergency
Work outside business hours or emergency visits can affect the rate because of staffing and travel at odd times. We explain any extra cost before work starts.

DIY vs Professional: What Melbourne Homeowners Should Know
Deciding between trying a DIY clear and hiring a pro matters when clogs keep returning. A DIY chemical or plunger may shift the clog but often doesn't remove roots or compacted grease.
DIY
Best when:
- Small, recent clogs in sinks
- You're testing a minor slow drain
- you've clear and safe access
Considerations: DIY can push the clog deeper and may hide pipe damage because there's no camera inspection.
Professional
Best when:
- Repeat clogs or sewer smells
- Large trees near pipes
- Visible backups or gurgling
Considerations: Pros give a diagnosis, use CCTV, and clear the line safely which often saves money over time.
BlockedDrainPlumberMelbourne.au helps Melbourne clients determine the best approach for their specific situation.
