An experienced and reliable and friendly plumber? Better believe it.

We’ll have your drains flowing smoothly in no time

At the risk of stating the obvious: a blocked drain is a heck of a problem. After 30 years leading Melbourne’s plumbing industry, we’ve come to learn that a blockage is either the symptom of one problem or the beginning of another. It could be that a fault in the pipes (like age or damage) is the cause, or it might be that the blockage is about to cause a waste back-up and flood your site. Take a deep breath. All is not lost. We’re on the case.

As a blocked drain specialist, Melbourne homes and businesses can rely on us to unblock even the most stubborn blockages. We’ll arrive fully equipped and prepared to deal with immediate plumbing emergencies or diagnose potential future problems. A blocked toilet, sink or overflowing stormwater drain – we’ll get it sorted!

Frequently Asked Questions

In our experience, drains are most often clogged by clumps of hair or congealed cooking oils, fats and foodstuffs. Storm drains and underground plumbing, however, can also be clogged by thickening moss or plant root systems that have broken through the walls of the pipes.

Before you call us, you can try a few things yourself. You can go at your drains with a plunger to see if you can loosen the clog yourself or pour a cleaning solution down your drains. 

Here’s a non-toxic, environmentally safe drain cleaner recipe for you:

  • 1 part hot water
  • 1 part vinegar
  • 1 part baking soda

We don’t recommend pouring heavy-duty drain cleaners down your sink unless you know what your pipes are made of — older ceramic pipes might erode and worsen the problem. Even if you have PVC pipes, a drain cleaner might not be the appropriate solution.

Once we’re on the scene, we’ll investigate your pipes using a CCTV drain camera and then make our recommendation on how to unblock your drains. In instances where your pipes have been damaged, you may need more comprehensive drain repair and unclogging.
