Most blockages give you a warning before they overflow. If you're noticing two or more of these, it's time to get it looked at.

Slow draining
Sink, shower or bath takes longer than usual to empty.
Gurgling sounds
Air trapped behind the blockage makes drains burp and gurgle.
Bad smells
Sewer gas escaping from drains or rising from the yard.
Toilet backing up
Water rising in the bowl, or worse — overflowing.
Water in the yard
Wet patches or pooling around outdoor drains and inspection points.
Multiple fixtures affected
If everything is slow at once, the blockage is in your main sewer line.
Most blocked drains across Melbourne come down to one of five causes. We see all of them weekly — and most are cleared on the same visit. Older homes tend to have clay sewer pipes with joints that mature tree roots love. Newer homes are more often grease, wipes, and the occasional Lego brick. Whatever the cause, our CCTV finds it and our jetters clear it. No digging up the garden unless we genuinely have to.

01
Tree roots
The #1 cause in older Melbourne homes — roots invade clay-pipe joints.
02
Fat & food
Cooking oil and food scraps build up into solid blockages in kitchen drains.
03
Hair & soap scum
The classic bathroom blockage — long hair binds with soap and clings to the trap.
04
Wipes & sanitary items
'Flushable' wipes aren't. Neither are nappies, cotton buds, or paper towels.
05
Collapsed clay pipes
Heritage homes often have century-old earthenware sewers. Pipe relining fixes it without excavation.
