Blocked Drain Problems?

Blocked drains are unpleasant. So is not knowing what caused it. We fix both.

Most plumbers clear the blockage and move on. We clear it, show you what caused it on camera, and give you honest options for making sure it doesn’t happen again. Because a blocked drain is usually a symptom, not just a problem.

Wherever you're at, It's Ok! we've seen worse...

Water's backing up and the smell is making decisions for everyone.

We can be there today. Call us and we'll ask a few quick questions so the right gear comes with us.

It's draining, just... not with any real enthusiasm.

That gurgling, that smell, that slightly-too-slow sink — those are early warning signs worth paying attention to before things get worse.

You've had it cleared before and here you are again.

Recurring blockages usually mean something structural is going on. We'll find it, show you the footage, and talk through a permanent fix.

melbourne drain cleaning services

Blocked Stormwater Drains

Stormwater drains play a critical role in directing damaging and unhealthy rainwater away from your valuable property. When they become clogged with leaves, soil, and debris – especially during the wetter and wilder months – it can result in overflow and expensive water damage.

Our team clears these blockages quickly, efficiently and affordably – restoring the flow and preventing flooding around your precious castle. With our proactive approach, we help protect your property from Australia’s infamously unpredictable weather.

Blocked Toilets

A blocked toilet can quickly turn into an urgent issue – and a total nightmare at home! Whether caused by excess paper, foreign objects, or other waste, a clogged toilet not only disrupts your day but can also lead to extremely unpleasant messes and unhealthy water waste.

Our fully-licensed and friendly plumbers will assess the issue, identify the cause, and use the latest highly-specialised equipment to clear the blockage safely and efficiently – ensuring the favourite seats in your home are back in working order before you know it.

Blocked Sink Drains

Sinks in the kitchen or bathroom, so important for daily life, are extremely prone to blockages due to build-up from soap, grease, hair, and other damaging debris. If you try to just ignore it, these initially irritating part-clogs and slow drainage can eventually result in extremely foul smells and a sink that simply fills up and potentially overflows all over the floor.

Our friendly professional plumbers are fully-equipped with the right tools and know-how to break down and remove the trickiest of these obstructions, restoring your sink’s functionality and helping you avoid further plumbing issues down the line.

Blocked Sewer Drains

A blocked sewer drain is absolutely one of the more serious plumbing problems of all, as it can lead to dangerous and devastating waste backups, potential health risks, and unpleasant odours. Causes range from destructive tree roots to broken pipes or accumulated debris.

Using our advanced CCTV camera technology and many other advanced tools and techniques, our team accurately and quickly identifies the source of the problem and clears the blockage efficiently without costing you the earth – restoring your home’s sanitation, functionality, and peace of mind.

Blocked Shower Drains

Blocked shower drains, even if the blockage isn’t devastating, can still very easily lead to water pooling in the shower – creating an unsanitary environment and eventually risking water damage, and a heck of a mess, all over your precious bathroom floors. Hair, soap, and mineral build-up are common culprits, but luckily, the expert plumbers at Fix-It Right Plumbing are always standing by to remove these blockages before you know it. We’ll get your shower drains flowing smoothly again, and get that shower back to full working order. Dealing with any of these drainage issues in MelbourneGeelongCanberra 
or Ballarat? Fix-It Right Plumbing and our keen and experienced drain plumbers are always just around the corner and more than willing to help. Give us a shout today and we’ll get those drains flowing smoothly again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do plumbers unblock drains?
At Fix-It Right Plumbing, we have invested in the training and equipment necessary to specialize in unblocking drains. Our MelbourneGeelongCanberra and
 Ballarat plumbers will do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend a procedure to unblock your drain.

More than a decade ago, the only real tool for cleaning drains was a cable drain machine (electric drain eel). They were a robust, relatively inexpensive, and reliable go-to tool for clearing and removing blockages from domestic and commercial drains. Although lots of plumbers these days still use them, water jet machines are increasing in popularity due to the ease of use and versatility but there are other reason to use a jet machine that few plumbers know about.
1. They are less likely to get jammed and stuck.

  1. They can be used inside.
  2. They can be used with CCTV camera systems.

Your plumber should do a very thorough analysis of your whole drain system and ask you lots of questions to get as much information from you as possible before they recommend what they will do.

Because we charge by the job and not by the hour, you know exactly how much your clogged drain job will cost before we start. So you can sit back and relax while we take care of your drain problem, knowing there will be no nasty surprises at the end.

Before we start any unblocked drain work, we fully explain exactly what we are going to do to fix your blocked or clogged drain and why. We also price up the complete job and ensure you understand the full costs involved before we start. We don’t proceed unless you are totally happy with what we are doing which leaves you in full control.
  1. Book a plumber visit with us using your phone, or via our website
  2. Our Expert Professional plumber comes out in a fully stocked vehicle with all the right parts and equipment on board, including CCTV cameras and Hydro Jetting machines.
  3. Our plumber will then look the problem with your blocked drain over and give your firm prices and options up front to do anything you need.
  4. Once you have agreed on the costs, your plumber can usually get started straight away right on the spot.
  5. Included is a full check of your plumbing system to ensure everything is working okay for you.

Common Blocked Drain Issues

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked drains across Melbourne, Geelong, and Canberra. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate pipe joints, causing major blockages and pipe damage.

Grease and Fat Build-Up

Kitchen drains frequently block due to grease, fat, and food scraps. These substances solidify inside pipes, gradually restricting water flow until the drain blocks completely.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Older properties may have ageing clay or terracotta pipes that crack or collapse, causing persistent drain blockages requiring professional repair or relining.

Our Blocked Drain Services

Our team provides a complete range of blocked drain services across Melbourne, Frankston, Geelong, and Canberra:

Real Drain Clearing Stories

Emergency Blocked Drain Call in Melbourne

Midweek during school holidays, a retiree in Melbourne noticed sewage odour drifting through the house and slow drainage in every bathroom. With the issue causing disruption to their daily routine, they decided to call Fix It Right Plumbing for help. Our customer service team arranged for a licensed plumber to attend within the hour.

“Thane did a great job sorting out a blocked toilet. He was efficient, punctual, gave clear explanations, and left everything clean.” — Carmel Marozzi ★★★★★

Thane assessed the situation carefully and recommended the most cost-effective solution. Rather than pushing for an expensive replacement, he carried out a targeted repair that restored full functionality. The work was backed by our satisfaction guarantee, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind.

Blocked Drain Frankston — Same-Day Resolution

A Frankston homeowner called us after noticing their outdoor drain overflowing following heavy rain. Tree roots had infiltrated the stormwater pipe, causing a complete blockage. Our team dispatched a blocked drain plumber from our Carrum Downs depot — just a short drive from Frankston — and had a plumber on site within 40 minutes.

“Had a sewerage issue. Jared took me through the steps and explained it all. Great guy, great service.” — Cavin Chait ★★★★★

Jared used a CCTV camera to locate the root intrusion, then cleared it with high-pressure water jetting. He provided a detailed invoice with no hidden charges and recommended a maintenance schedule to prevent recurrence. It’s this kind of honest, no-nonsense service that makes us the blocked drain specialist Frankston residents trust.

How We Helped a Melbourne Resident with a Persistent Blockage

Late on a Tuesday evening, an elderly resident in Melbourne woke up to find tree root intrusion causing repeated blockages in the main sewer line. A quick internet search for trusted plumbers in the area brought up Fix It Right Plumbing with hundreds of five-star reviews.

“Had Mitch come out and unblock my sewer. Really professional and explained the process to me very clearly. Would use again.” — Colin F ★★★★★

Our plumber Mitch brought his years of experience to bear on this job. After a hands-on inspection, he diagnosed the underlying cause and set about fixing it properly the first time. Colin has since recommended Fix It Right Plumbing to several neighbours.

Professional Drain Clearing Solution

On a cold winter night, a property investor came home to find a completely blocked shower drain flooding the bathroom floor. They called us first thing in the morning, and we had a licensed plumber dispatched to the address before lunchtime.

“We had a blocked and damaged drain and called Fix it Right Plumbing. Brendan arrived on time and was very helpful and highly experienced. He explained everything clearly and achieved the outcome I was hoping for. Brendan did not leave until everything was perfect and there were no hidden costs which was a relief. I highly recommend Fix it Right Plumbing as they are honest, professional, and achieve great results. I will definitely use them again.” — Adele Ojaimi ★★★★★

Our plumber used professional-grade equipment and quality fittings to ensure a lasting result. The homeowner received a warranty certificate and a direct contact number for any future concerns, which they said gave them great confidence in the service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes blocked drains?

The most common causes of blocked drains are tree root intrusion, grease and fat build-up, foreign objects, and ageing or damaged pipes. Our plumbers use CCTV cameras to diagnose the exact cause.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

The cost depends on the severity and location of the blockage. We provide upfront pricing after assessment — no hidden fees. Call 1300 667 520 for a quote.

How quickly can you get to me for a blocked drain?

Our plumbers are available 24/7 and typically reach Melbourne, Frankston, Geelong, and Canberra suburbs promptly during business hours. Emergency call-outs are prioritised.

Do you use CCTV cameras for drain inspections?

Yes, we use CCTV drain cameras on every blocked drain job. This allows us to see inside the pipe, identify the blockage, and recommend the most effective solution.

Can tree roots damage my drains?

Absolutely. Tree roots are the number one cause of blocked drains in Australian homes. They enter through pipe joints and can crack or crush pipes over time. We offer tree root cutting and drain relining.

Do you offer drain relining?

Yes, we offer no-dig drain relining as a cost-effective alternative to full pipe replacement. This creates a new pipe inside the old one, sealing cracks and preventing future root intrusion.
