Why Stormwater Drain Clearing Matters in Melbourne
Melbourne gets over 600mm of rain yearly. That's a lot of water hitting your roof and yard. When stormwater drains clog, water pools up and damages your property fast.
Stormwater drains (pipes that carry rainwater away) get blocked by leaves, dirt, and debris. A blocked drain plumber clears these pipes so water drains properly. We use high-pressure water jets and CCTV cameras to find and fix the problem.
If you don't clear a blocked stormwater drain, you'll face flooding, foundation damage, and expensive repairs. Our team knows Melbourne's unique drainage challenges. We'll get your stormwater system working again—usually within hours.

How We Clear Your Stormwater Drain—Step by Step
We Inspect Your Drain First
Our blocked drain plumber arrives with a CCTV camera. We feed it through your stormwater pipe to see exactly where the blockage is. This takes 20-30 minutes and shows us the real problem.
We Locate the Problem Spot
Using electronic locators, we pinpoint the exact location underground. This matters in Melbourne where many homes sit on clay soil that shifts. We know where problems typically hide in your area.
We Clear the Blockage
We use high-pressure hydro-jetting (a water jet at 4000+ PSI) to blast away leaves, silt, and debris. This clears the pipe completely without damaging it. Most stormwater drains clear in under 2 hours.
We Check It Again
After clearing, we run the CCTV camera through once more. This confirms the blockage is gone and your stormwater drain flows freely again.
We Give You Prevention Tips
We'll show you what caused the blockage and how to prevent it next time. Melbourne's trees and heavy rain create unique challenges—we'll explain what to watch for.
Stormwater Drain Clearing Pricing in Melbourne
Stormwater drain clearing costs depend on blockage severity and how deep your drain sits. Melbourne's varied terrain—from flat inner suburbs to sloped outer areas—affects pricing. We'll give you a fixed price before we start work.
Standard Clearing
A$280–A$450
Simple blockage in accessible stormwater drain. Includes CCTV inspection, hydro-jetting, and follow-up camera check. Most Melbourne homes fall into this tier.
Complex Blockage
A$500–A$850
Deep blockage, multiple clogs, or tree root intrusion. Requires extended hydro-jetting or additional equipment. Common in older Melbourne suburbs with mature trees.
Emergency After-Hours
A$650–A$1200
Urgent stormwater clearing outside business hours. Includes all standard services plus emergency response fee. Available weekends and nights across Melbourne.
These prices are estimates for typical Melbourne stormwater drain jobs. Final cost depends on blockage depth, pipe condition, and access difficulty. We'll confirm pricing before any work starts—no surprises.
Get Ready for Your Stormwater Drain Clearing
Prepare your property so we can work fast and safely.
- Clear the area around your stormwater drain access point—we need 1-2 metres of space to work
- Mark any underground utilities (gas, electricity, water) if you know where they run—Melbourne's older suburbs often have unmarked lines
- Move parked cars away from the work area so our truck can park close by
- Keep pets and kids inside during the job—high-pressure water and equipment can be dangerous
- Note any recent flooding or water pooling in your yard—this helps us understand the blockage severity
