- Water backing up into sinks, showers, or floor wastes

Our Blocked Drain Services
Our experienced blocked drain plumbers provide fast, reliable, and professional solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Perth. Using modern diagnostic equipment and proven drain clearing methods, we can identify the cause of the blockage and restore your drainage system efficiently.
Blocked Sewer Drains
Blocked sewer drains can cause wastewater backups, unpleasant odours, health risks, and property damage if left untreated. Our licensed plumbers use professional drain clearing equipment and CCTV drain inspections to locate the blockage, restore normal flow, and recommend long-term solutions. If your sewer drain is overflowing, our 24/7 emergency plumbers can respond promptly.
Stormwater Drains
Blocked stormwater drains can prevent rainwater from draining properly, increasing the risk of flooding around your home or business during heavy rainfall. Our plumbers clear stormwater blockages caused by leaves, tree roots, dirt, and debris, restoring proper water flow and helping protect your property from water damage.
Blocked Toilets
A blocked toilet can be inconvenient and unhygienic, especially if it begins overflowing or repeatedly backing up. Our experienced blocked drain plumbers quickly identify the cause using professional equipment and safely clear the blockage to restore normal operation. If required, we can also inspect your drainage system to identify underlying issues.
High Pressure Drain Cleaning
High-pressure drain cleaning is one of the most effective methods for removing grease, sludge, tree roots, and stubborn debris from drainage pipes. Using specialised water jetting equipment, we thoroughly clean the inside of your drains to restore flow while helping reduce the likelihood of recurring blockages.
Blocked Kitchen Sinks
Blocked kitchen sinks are commonly caused by grease, food waste, soap residue, and other debris building up inside the drain. Our plumbers use professional drain cleaning equipment to remove stubborn blockages and restore proper drainage quickly. We also provide practical advice to help reduce the risk of future kitchen sink blockages.
CCTV Drain Inspections
CCTV drain inspections allow us to accurately locate blocked drains, damaged pipes, tree root intrusions, and hidden drainage problems without unnecessary excavation. Using high-definition drain cameras, our plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue and recommend the most effective repair or drain clearing solution.
Blocked Bathroom Drains
Blocked bathroom drains often develop from a build-up of hair, soap residue, and personal care products inside the pipework. Whether your shower, basin, or floor waste is draining slowly or completely blocked, our experienced plumbers can quickly diagnose the problem and restore efficient drainage using professional drain clearing equipment.
Tree Root Removal
Tree roots are one of the leading causes of blocked underground drains, entering small cracks in pipes as they search for moisture. Our plumbers use professional equipment to locate and remove intrusive roots, restore normal drainage, and recommend the most appropriate long-term repair solution where pipe damage has occurred.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Blocked drains can develop for many different reasons, ranging from everyday household waste to damaged underground pipework. Identifying the underlying cause allows us to provide the most effective repair while helping prevent future blockages.
The most common causes include:
- Tree root intrusion
- Grease and fat build-up
- Wet wipes and sanitary products
- Hair and soap residue
- Food waste
- Foreign objects
- Collapsed or damaged pipes
Our plumbers use professional drain inspection equipment to accurately diagnose the problem before recommending the most suitable repair. If damaged pipework or hidden leaks are discovered, we also provide Burst Pipe Repairs Perth for damaged water pipes requiring repair or replacement.
How We Clear Blocked Drains
Every blocked drain is different, which is why we begin by identifying the exact cause before recommending the most appropriate solution.
Inspection
We assess the affected drainage system and identify the location and severity of the blockage.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
Where required, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect underground pipework, locate tree roots, damaged pipes, hidden obstructions, and water leaks without unnecessary excavation. Where damaged pipework has resulted in hidden leaks, our Water Leak Detection Perth service can accurately locate concealed plumbing problems before recommending the most appropriate repair..
High Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting safely removes grease, sludge, tree roots, and stubborn debris while thoroughly cleaning the inside of your drainage pipes.
Drain Testing
Once the blockage has been cleared, we test the drainage system to confirm that water flows freely and the problem has been successfully resolved.
Recommendations
If we identify damaged pipes or recurring drainage issues, we’ll explain the problem clearly and recommend the most appropriate long-term repair solution.
Preventing Future Blockages
Preventative maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of recurring drain problems. A few simple habits can help keep your drainage system operating efficiently while reducing the likelihood of expensive emergency repairs.
We recommend:
- Avoid pouring grease, fats, and oils down kitchen sinks
- Do not flush wet wipes, sanitary products, or paper towels
- Clean drain strainers regularly
- Arrange periodic drain maintenance where required
- Monitor tree roots near underground drainage pipes
Taking these simple steps can help extend the life of your drainage system and reduce the likelihood of future blockages.
