How We Do It

Most Blocked Drains Come Back
Because Nobody Looked

Clearing a blockage without finding what caused it is a temporary fix. Here's how we make it permanent.

CCTV drain camera footage showing tree roots growing through a cracked sewer pipe in Melbourne
Real CCTV footage from a Melbourne job — tree roots through a cracked clay pipe, the most common cause of repeat blockages.
  1. 01

    CCTV camera goes in first

    Before anything else, a drain camera goes down the line. You watch the screen with us and see exactly what's in there — roots, grease, a cracked pipe or a collapse — and precisely how far down it sits.

  2. 02

    High-pressure jetting clears it

    A high-pressure water jetter cuts through tree roots, flushes out grease and silt, and scours the pipe wall back to bare surface. It clears the blockage completely and reveals the true condition of the pipework behind it.

  3. 03

    Camera goes back in to prove it

    The camera goes down a second time so you can see the pipe running clear. If it found damage that caused the blockage, we show you that too and quote the repair before you decide anything.

Quick Answers

FAQ

Why does my drain keep blocking up again?
Because the cause was never fixed. Most repeat blockages in Melbourne are tree roots growing through a crack or joint in an old clay pipe. Clearing the blockage alone leaves the crack there, so the roots grow straight back. We camera the line to find the actual cause, then fix that — not just the symptom.
How do you find what's blocking the drain?
A CCTV drain camera goes down the line first so we can see exactly what's in there and where. You see the footage on the screen with us. We then jet the line clear and send the camera back down to confirm it's clean.
Will you have to dig up my yard or driveway?
Usually not. Most blockages are cleared through an existing access point with the jetter, so no digging is involved at all. Where the camera shows a pipe has actually collapsed, we excavate only at that exact spot rather than trenching the whole line.
What does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
You get a clear price before we start any work. Cost depends on where the blockage is and what's causing it, which is why we camera the line first rather than quoting blind over the phone. Nothing goes ahead until you've said yes.
Can you come out the same day?
Yes. We run same day blocked drain service across Melbourne, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and public holidays.
What causes blocked drains?
Tree roots are the most common cause in Melbourne, especially in older suburbs with clay pipework. After that it's grease and food waste from kitchen sinks, hair and soap in showers, wet wipes and sanitary items in toilets, and silt or leaves in stormwater lines.
Which Melbourne suburbs do you cover?
All of them. Northern, southern, eastern and western suburbs plus the CBD and inner Melbourne — from Werribee to Ringwood, Craigieburn to Frankston.
What should I do while I wait for you?
Stop using water at that fixture and anything on the same line — washing machines and dishwashers included. If waste is backing up inside, avoid flushing toilets. Don't pour drain cleaner down it; it rarely works on a real blockage and makes the job more hazardous for the plumber.
