Need a Blocked Drain Plumber?

A blocked drain can start as a minor inconvenience but quickly turn into a major plumbing problem.

A slow-draining sink, gurgling toilet, unpleasant drain smell or overflowing outdoor drain can all indicate a blockage within your plumbing system.

At Better Plumbing Solutions, we provide professional blocked drain services throughout Melbourne, using modern equipment to identify, clear and diagnose drainage problems.

From stubborn household blockages to commercial and industrial drainage issues, we have the equipment and experience to get your drains flowing again.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

There are many reasons a drain can become blocked.

Common causes include:

• Tree roots growing into underground pipes
• Grease and fat build-up
• Hair and soap residue
• Food waste
• Wet wipes and sanitary products
• Foreign objects
• Mud and silt
• Damaged or collapsed pipes
• Broken pipe joints
• Stormwater debris

If a blockage keeps coming back, simply clearing the drain may not solve the underlying problem. A CCTV drain camera inspection can help identify what’s actually happening inside the pipe.

Signs You May Have a Blocked Drain

Don’t ignore the warning signs.

You may have a blocked drain if you notice:

• Water draining slowly
• A toilet that won’t flush properly
• Water backing up into sinks or showers
• Gurgling noises from pipes
• Unpleasant smells from drains
• Overflowing stormwater drains
• Wet or unusually green patches in the garden
• A blockage that keeps returning

The earlier a drainage problem is investigated, the easier it can be to resolve.

High-Pressure Water Jet Drain Cleaning

For stubborn blockages, high-pressure water jet drain cleaning can provide an effective way to clear and clean the inside of your pipes.

High-pressure water jetting can help remove:

• Tree roots
• Grease
• Fat
• Mud
• Silt
• Food debris
• Soap build-up
• General blockages

The powerful water stream cleans the internal walls of the pipe rather than simply creating a small passage through the blockage.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspections

If your drain is blocked repeatedly, finding the cause is important.

A CCTV drain camera inspection allows our plumbers to inspect the inside of the drainage system and identify problems such as:

✔ Tree root intrusion

✔ Cracked pipes

✔ Broken pipes

✔ Collapsed drains

✔ Pipe misalignment

✔ Foreign objects

✔ Heavy build-up

✔ Recurring blockages

CCTV inspections can reduce unnecessary excavation by allowing the problem to be identified before digging begins.

Drain Locating

Once a problem has been identified, electronic drain locating can be used to determine where the underground pipe is located.

Accurate drain locating can help identify:

• The position of underground drains
• The location of damaged pipework
• The approximate depth of the pipe
• Where excavation may be required

This can save time, reduce unnecessary digging and make drain repairs more targeted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my drain is blocked?

Avoid continuing to use the affected plumbing where possible and contact a plumber. Repeatedly using chemical drain cleaners can also make diagnosis and repairs more difficult.

Can tree roots cause blocked drains?

Yes. Tree roots can enter cracks or joints in underground pipes and grow inside the drainage system, causing recurring blockages.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Recurring blockages can indicate an underlying issue such as tree roots, damaged pipes, pipe misalignment or significant build-up. A CCTV drain camera inspection can help identify the cause.

How does high-pressure water jetting work?

High-pressure water jetting uses powerful streams of water to break through blockages and clean debris and build-up from the inside of the pipe.

When is a CCTV drain inspection needed?

A CCTV inspection can be particularly useful when a blockage keeps returning, when the cause isn’t obvious or when damaged underground pipework is suspected.

Can you locate underground drains?

Yes. Electronic drain locating equipment can help determine the position and depth of underground drainage pipework.

Do you service commercial blocked drains?

Yes. Better Plumbing Solutions provides blocked drain services for residential, commercial and industrial properties.
