Blocked Drains Melbourne
At The Plumbing and Roofing Company, we specialise in clearing blocked drains quickly and effectively using advanced equipment, accurate diagnosis, and proven techniques.
Melbourne’s Blocked Drain Specialists
Drains become blocked for many reasons — build-up of hair and soap, food scraps, fats and oils, tree roots invading underground pipes, broken pipe joints, and debris collecting over time. No matter how the blockage started, it needs to be resolved properly, not just temporarily pushed through.
Our licensed plumbing team has extensive experience resolving blockages across all types of drainage — kitchen, bathroom, laundry, stormwater and sewer drains — throughout Melbourne. We take a methodical approach to diagnosis, ensuring the blockage is removed and the cause is addressed so it’s less likely to return.
Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Blocked drains don’t always announce themselves clearly at first, but the warning signs are often there:
- Slow draining sinks or showers
- Gurgling sounds from drain outlets
- Water backing up in sinks, tubs or toilets
- Unpleasant sewer smells around your drains
- Toilets that don’t flush properly
- Overflowing stormwater drains after rain
If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to act quickly before the blockage worsens and leads to more serious damage or costly repairs.
How We Clear Blocked Drains
We don’t guess — we inspect. Our blocked drain process includes:
Camera Drain Inspections
State-of-the-art CCTV cameras are guided through your pipework to locate blockages accurately. This allows us to see what’s causing the problem and determine the best solution.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Powerful jetting clears grease, sludge, debris, tree roots and tough build-ups that traditional drain snakes can’t always remove. High-pressure water jetting also helps clean the pipe walls for long-lasting results.
Why Quick Blocked Drain Attention Matters
Leaving a blocked drain unresolved can lead to:
- Overflowing wastewater
- Mould and unpleasant odours in your home
- Sewage backing into drains
- Pipe corrosion over time
- Damage to floors and fixtures
The longer a blockage sits, the worse it often becomes — especially in Melbourne homes with older pipework or tree-root intrusion.

FAQs
What causes blocked drains?
Drains clog from hair, soap, grease and food build-up, tree roots invading underground pipes, broken pipe joints, flushing things that shouldn’t be flushed, and sediment accumulation over time.
Can you clear blocked drains the same day?
Yes. We offer same day blocked drain service across many Melbourne locations when booked early in the day.
Will you damage my pipes?
No. We use CCTV inspections first to diagnose the blockage accurately and use appropriate clearing methods designed to minimise wear on your pipes.
Do you provide an upfront price before work starts?
Absolutely. We provide clear, upfront pricing before any clearing work begins.
Can you prevent blocked drains from happening again?
We can offer advice and solutions like root cutting, routine maintenance, and in some cases pipe relining to reduce future blockages.
