Why Blocked Drains Are a Common Problem in Melbourne?
Blocked drains are a frequent issue in Melbourne due to a mix of older plumbing systems and local conditions. Many Melbourne homes still have clay or earthenware pipes that crack over time. Tree roots naturally search for moisture and often break into sewer drains, causing serious blockages.
Apartments and units also experience drainage issues due to shared pipes and limited access points. Heavy rain can overload stormwater systems, leading to flooding and blocked drains around properties. Inside the home, grease from kitchen sinks, hair from showers, toilet paper, and general buildup inside pipes all contribute to blocked drains.
Whether you are dealing with a blocked toilet, a blocked sink, or a deeper sewer issue, our experienced team provides honest drain repairs at fair costs. Call our drain experts today on 0420 646 641 or request a free written quote online. We will locate the source fast and get your drains running fast again.

Blocked Drain Services We Provide in Melbourne
Blocked Drain Clearing and Cleaning
We unblock drains efficiently and restore proper water flow without unnecessary damage to pipes. Our drainage plumbers handle everyday drain repairs for clogged drains caused by grease, debris, and foreign objects, leaving your drains running fast.
Mechanical Drain Snaking
Mechanical drain snaking is used when access is limited or when high-pressure jetting is not the right first step. Our team uses electric eels and a drain bladder to remove compact obstructions and unblock drains safely with minimal disruption.
CCTV Drain Inspections
When a blocked drain needs more than a quick fix, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect inside the pipes. The drain inspection helps our plumbers locate cracks, root damage, broken pipes, or grease build-up, so we recommend the right repair without guesswork or inflated costs.
Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
Hydro jet drain cleaning uses high-pressure water to break down grease, sludge, and obstructions inside sewer pipes. This drain cleaning method is highly effective for blocked sewer drains and stubborn buildups where standard unclogging is not enough.
Blocked Sewer Line Clearing
Blocked sewer drains in Melbourne are often caused by root invasions, foreign objects, or damaged pipes. We use CCTV inspection to locate the exact spot, then clear the sewer line using hydro jetting or mechanical equipment, followed by a full check to confirm water is flowing freely through the line.
Stormwater and Sewer Line Unblocking
Stormwater and sewer line blockages are common during Melbourne's wet season. We unblock stormwater drains that overflow, back up, or pool around residential properties and commercial properties. Booking this service early helps avoid water damage during heavy rainfall.
Pipe Relining and Sewer Pipe Replacement
For broken, cracked, or collapsed sewer pipes, pipe relining is a modern no-dig drain repair that creates a brand-new pipe inside the old one. Our pipe relining specialists install a durable liner that seals cracks, blocks tree roots, and restores full water flow with minimal disruption to your yard, driveway, or garden.
Our customers regularly tell us they appreciate our professional approach, friendly service, and reliable results. Many have shared that our team did a fantastic job and delivered great service at a good price.
Blocked Drains We Commonly Fix in Melbourne
If any of these signs sound familiar, there is likely a blockage building up somewhere in your drainage system. These problems rarely fix themselves and tend to get worse if left untreated, leading to water damage and expensive drain repairs down the line.

Trenchless Pipe Relining
Pipe Relining for Cracked and Damaged Sewer Drains
Sometimes a recurring blocked drain is the symptom of a deeper issue, broken pipes, root damage, or sewer pipes that have collapsed entirely. In these cases, simply unblocking the drain only delivers a short-term result. Pipe relining specialists at Select Plumbing and Gas restore your drainage system without major excavation.
Pipe relining is ideal for:
- Cracked or broken sewer pipes
- Tree root damage in older Melbourne properties
- Recurring blocked sewer drains
- Sewer pipe replacement without digging up gardens or driveways
- Restoring leaking pipes to full water flow
We provide a clear written quote, explain pipe relining cost in plain language, and complete most relining projects in a single day with minimal disruption. The result is a sewer line built to last decades, giving Melbourne residents and commercial property owners real peace of mind. If excavation truly is the only option, our team will explain that honestly and walk you through every step before any work begins.

- Overflowing stormwater pits or grates
- Slow drainage from outdoor areas
- Gurgling sounds from external drains
- Silt or debris around the grate
