Blocked Drains & Drainage Solutions
GET IN TOUCH TODAY
Blocked drains and drainage issues often begin with small warning signs that are easy to overlook. A sink that drains slowly, a toilet that gurgles or water pooling around the property after rain may not seem urgent at first. These minor symptoms can quickly develop into significant disruptions that affect comfort and hygiene. When water cannot move through the system as intended, it finds alternative pathways that may cause leaks, overflows or structural damage. This makes early attention essential for maintaining a safe and functional environment in any home or business.
Our blocked drain and drainage service is built around understanding the true cause of the issue and selecting the most suitable response. Every property has unique plumbing requirements and every drainage problem has its own origin. Some issues stem from simple blockages such as grease or soap build up, while others involve more serious concerns such as tree roots or collapsed pipe sections. Stormwater systems may also struggle during periods of heavy rainfall, leading to flooding and erosion. Identifying the source accurately is the foundation of a long lasting solution.
Our Process
What we do to diagnose and fix drainage issues
Inspect
We begin by inspecting the drain using cameras and diagnostic tools to locate the exact cause of the blockage. This allows us to see inside the pipe, identify debris, damage, or tree roots, and choose the most effective solution without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Clear
Once the issue is identified, we clear the blockage using high-pressure jetting and specialised equipment. This removes built-up debris, grease, and roots to restore proper water flow. Our approach ensures an efficient, thorough clean so the drain operates correctly again with minimal disruption.

Test
After clearing or repairing the drain, we conduct thorough testing to confirm everything flows as it should. Using water flow checks and camera reviews, we verify the issue is fully resolved. This step ensures the drainage system performs correctly before we finish the job.
Maintain
Regular maintenance prevents recurring blockages and costly repairs. Scheduled cleaning and inspections keep drains clear of debris, roots, and build-up. Ongoing maintenance supports long-term performance, reduces plumbing emergencies, and helps homeowners and businesses enjoy reliable, trouble-free drainage year-round.
To diagnose problems effectively, we use professional inspection tools that allow us to assess the condition of your drains with precision. A CCTV drain camera provides clear visibility inside the pipe so we can detect cracks, blockages, root intrusions and other structural concerns without unnecessary excavation. Once we understand exactly what is happening within the system, we can select the appropriate method to clear or repair it. Hydrojet cleaning and jet rodding remove stubborn blockages, while pipe patching or sectional repair can restore damaged areas without replacing large sections of pipe. Our aim is always to deliver efficient work that minimises disruption and restores proper flow.
After clearing or repairing the drainage system, we complete thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Proper testing confirms that water is moving freely and that no hidden problems remain. When drainage issues are left unresolved, they often escalate, leading to repeated overflows or further pipe deterioration. Taking action early is the most effective way to protect your home or business.
Signs You Might Have a Drainage Problem
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
- Slow draining sinks, tubs or showers
- Foul smells near drains
- Water pooling near gutters or pits
- Toilet water rising or bubbling unexpectedly
- Backflow in showers or floor drains
If you have noticed any of these symptoms, it may signal that water is struggling to move through your drainage system. These signs often worsen over time as debris builds up or pipe damage continues to develop. Addressing the issue early helps protect your home from overflow, water damage, unpleasant smells, and unexpected plumbing failures. A professional inspection can identify the exact cause and restore proper drainage before the problem becomes more serious.
Our Blocked Drain & Drainage Services
We handle everything from minor blockages to major underground drainage issues. Our services include:
Blocked Toilets
A blocked toilet needs prompt attention to prevent overflowing and hygiene risks. We clear blockages caused by wipes, paper build-up, foreign objects, or sewer issues. Using specialised tools, we restore proper flushing and ensure the drainage system is functioning safely and reliably.
Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning removes built-up debris, grease, soap, soil, and other obstructions from your pipes. Using professional equipment, we restore smooth water flow and prevent recurring blockages. Regular cleaning keeps your drainage system healthy, reduces odours, and helps avoid unexpected plumbing problems.
Stormwater Drainage
Stormwater systems often block from leaves, soil, debris, or collapsed pipes. We diagnose and clear stormwater drains to prevent flooding around homes and outdoor areas. Our solutions help protect yards, driveways, and foundations by ensuring water drains correctly during heavy rain.
Jet Rodding
Jet rodding uses high-pressure water to cut through stubborn blockages such as grease, tree roots, and compacted debris. It’s an effective method for clearing pipes without causing damage. Ideal for sewer and stormwater drains, jet rodding restores flow quickly and thoroughly.
Blocked Kitchen Sink
Kitchen sinks commonly block due to grease, food scraps, soap build-up, and fat solidifying in the pipes. We clear the blockage, clean the pipe walls, and restore proper drainage. Fast action prevents odours, slow draining, and potential pipe damage.
Hydrojet Drain Cleaning
Hydrojetting provides a deep, thorough clean for heavily blocked drains. A high-pressure water jet blasts through sludge, roots, and hardened build-up inside pipes. This method not only clears the blockage but also cleans pipe walls, reducing the chance of future issues.
CCTV Drain Camera
Our CCTV drain camera allows us to see inside pipes in real time, identifying blockages, cracks, and structural damage. This non-invasive inspection pinpoints issues accurately, guiding the most effective repair method. It eliminates guesswork and ensures long-term solutions.
Pipe Patching
Pipe patching repairs damaged areas of a pipe without replacing the entire line. A resin-soaked liner is inserted and cured inside the pipe, sealing cracks or breaks. This method is cost-effective, non-invasive, and restores the pipe’s structural strength efficiently.
Tree Root Intrusion Repairs
Tree roots can enter pipes through small cracks and quickly cause major blockages or structural damage. We locate root intrusion, remove the roots, and repair the pipe using patching or replacement. Early repair prevents recurring issues and protects your drainage system.
Blocked Laundry Drain
Laundry drains often clog from lint, soap residue, hair, and sediment build-up. We remove the blockage and flush the line to restore normal water flow. Proper cleaning helps prevent flooding and protects your laundry appliances from drainage issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clear all types of blocked drains?
We are equipped to clear most types of blocked drains found in homes and businesses, including toilets, sinks, showers, stormwater drains and sewer lines. Different problems require different solutions, so we use a range of tools such as hydrojet equipment, jet rodding and specialised clearing heads to treat each blockage appropriately. Whether the cause is debris, grease, hair, tree roots or a more stubborn obstruction, we assess the situation first, then choose the most effective method to restore proper drainage. If a blockage is connected to pipe damage, we can provide repair options as well.
Do you offer drain camera inspections?
Yes, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your drains and identify what is causing the issue. This technology provides a clear, real-time view of blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections and other structural concerns. Instead of guessing or digging without purpose, a camera inspection helps pinpoint the exact location and condition of the problem, allowing us to recommend the most suitable repair or clearing method. It is especially useful for recurring blockages, older properties, stormwater problems and situations where the cause is not immediately visible from outside.
How much does it cost to clear a drain?
The cost of clearing a drain depends on several factors, such as the type of drain, the severity of the blockage, the location of the pipe and whether further inspection or repairs are required. Simple blockages usually require straightforward clearing, while more complex issues may involve hydrojet cleaning or camera inspections to understand the underlying cause. Once we assess the situation on site, we provide transparent pricing so you know exactly what is involved. Our aim is to offer practical solutions that restore proper flow while keeping the overall cost manageable for homeowners and businesses.
Do you service outside of Sunbury?
Yes, we assist clients throughout Sunbury as well as surrounding areas including Diggers Rest, Gisborne, Bacchus Marsh, Riddells Creek, Melton, Craigieburn and nearby suburbs. Drainage issues can affect any type of property, so we travel across the region to support homeowners, builders, investors and businesses. Being familiar with the local soil conditions, stormwater layouts and common plumbing designs in these suburbs allows us to diagnose issues efficiently. If you are unsure whether your location is covered, simply contact us and we can confirm availability and discuss the best way to assist you.
Will jet blasting damage my pipes?
Jet blasting uses high-pressure water to remove blockages, and when used correctly, it is a safe and effective method for most residential and commercial pipes. Before blasting, we assess the condition of the drain to ensure the pipework is suitable for this method. Modern hydrojet equipment allows controlled pressure that targets debris without harming healthy pipe sections. In older or fragile systems, we may use alternative techniques if needed. Our goal is to clear the blockage while protecting the integrity of your drainage system and ensuring a reliable long-term outcome.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency drain clearing?
We understand that drainage issues can occur unexpectedly and may require urgent attention to prevent overflow or property damage. While availability may vary, we aim to support clients with timely assistance and flexible scheduling, including after-hours or emergency situations when possible. If you experience a sudden blockage, sewer overflow or stormwater issue, you can contact us and we will advise on the next steps, estimated response times and safe interim measures. Our focus is on helping you manage the situation quickly and restoring proper drainage as soon as practical.
