Why Kitchen Drains Block in Melbourne Homes and Businesses
Kitchen drains clog more than any other drain in your home. Grease, food scraps, and soap buildup stick to pipes over time.
Melbourne's older suburbs like Fitzroy, Carlton, and South Yarra have narrow Victorian-era pipes that trap debris easily. Newer homes in outer areas like Cranbourne and Pakenham have different slope angles that sometimes cause slow drainage.
A blocked kitchen drain isn't just annoying—it backs up into your sink and spreads bad smells. Our Blocked Drain Plumber team clears kitchen drains using high-pressure water jets and CCTV cameras to see exactly what's blocking your pipes.

How We Clear Your Kitchen Drain in 4 Simple Steps
We Arrive and Inspect Your Drain
Our plumber arrives with a CCTV camera (a tiny waterproof camera on a cable). We'll run it down your drain to see exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it.
We Assess the Blockage Type
Is it grease? Food scraps? Tree roots from Melbourne's older gardens? We'll tell you what we found and explain your options before we charge you anything.
We Clear the Drain Using the Right Method
For grease, we use hydro-jetting (high-pressure water that blasts debris away). For tree roots in Melbourne's established suburbs, we might use a drain snake or pipe relining. We'll choose the best method for your situation.
We Test and Prevent Future Clogs
We'll run water through to make sure it drains fast. Then we'll give you tips to keep your kitchen drain clear—especially important in Melbourne where older pipes need extra care.
Kitchen Drain Clearing Costs in Melbourne
Melbourne's kitchen drain clearing prices depend on blockage type, pipe age, and how deep the clog sits. Inner-city Victorian homes often cost more because pipes are narrower and older.
Standard Kitchen Drain Clear
A$180–A$280
Simple grease or food blockage in modern pipes. Includes inspection, clearing, and testing. Most Melbourne homes fall into this tier.
Complex Blockage Clear
A$320–A$520
Tree roots, mineral buildup, or blockages deep in the line. Includes CCTV inspection, hydro-jetting, and preventative advice. Common in Fitzroy, Carlton, and other older suburbs.
Emergency After-Hours Service
A$450–A$680
Nights, weekends, or public holidays. Includes same-day clearing plus temporary solutions if permanent repair is needed later. Popular with Melbourne restaurants and cafes.
Prices are estimates based on typical Melbourne kitchen drain jobs. Final cost depends on blockage severity, pipe material, and access difficulty. We'll give you a fixed quote before we start—no surprises.
Get Ready for Your Kitchen Drain Clearing Appointment
Here's what to do before our plumber arrives.
- Clear the area under your sink so our plumber can access pipes easily—move cleaning supplies and containers out of the way
- Turn off your dishwasher and don't run water in other taps during the service—Melbourne's water pressure can affect how we work
- Tell us if you've used drain chemicals recently (like caustic soda)—they can be dangerous when mixed with our equipment
- Have your gate unlocked if we need to access your front yard or external pipes—common in Melbourne terraces and weatherboard homes
- Keep pets away from the work area—our equipment makes noise and we need clear space to move around safely
