How to spot a blocked drain
A blocked drain left alone wears your pipes down faster and can become a health risk. Stay across the signs so you can act before the repair bill grows.
Slow water drainage
Water draining slowly in sinks and showers is often the first sign of a blockage forming.
Strange noises
Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets mean trapped air — a classic symptom of a block.
Bad smells
Foul odours from your drains signal material stuck and rotting somewhere in the pipes.
Notice one or more of these signs? Get in touch straight away — delaying the problem usually means costlier repairs down the track.
Why DIY drain fixes backfire
A DIY solution can feel tempting, but a blocked drain usually signals an underlying problem that surface fixes can't resolve — and the wrong approach can make it worse.
The DIY gamble
- Supermarket drain chemicals can be so harsh they eat through your pipes as well as the clog
- No CCTV diagnosis means the root cause is never found — the block keeps coming back
- Plungers only shift very small clogs near the drain opening
- A partial fix can turn into water backup, property damage or a burst pipe
The Mr Drainage way
- CCTV camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause, location and extent of the block
- The right method for the job — jet blasting, relining or targeted clearing
- Safe for your pipes: we protect the integrity of your whole drainage system
- Tailored maintenance advice so the blockage doesn't return
How we fix your blocked drains
Blockages aren't one-size-fits-all, so we don't treat them that way. Our range of services targets any block — no matter the cause, location or extent.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
High-resolution cameras give us real-time footage of your drainage system, so we can pinpoint the cause, extent and location of the blockage. Footage available on request.
Chemical Drain Cleaning
Targeted foaming treatment that kills invading tree roots and keeps them from growing back for up to a year — paired with jetting for maximum protection.
High-Pressure Jet Blasting
Pressurised water up to 5,500 PSI blasts away small-to-medium blockages, restoring full flow without damaging your pipes.
Pipe Relining
For larger-scale blockages, we create a new pipe inside the old one — a non-invasive resin liner that has your drains running smoothly the same day.
General Blocked Drains
Blocked toilets, shower drains or sinks — we find the root cause on camera, then tailor the fix to keep your kitchen, laundry and bathroom moving.
Sewer Blockages
A blocked sewer is a serious health risk. From jet blasting to relining and replacement, we restore your sewer so wastewater moves safely away.

Blocked drain questions, answered
The questions Melbourne home and business owners ask us most.
How long does it take a plumber to unblock a drain?
It depends on the type of clog, where it's located and how bad it is. On average, our plumbers complete a standard clear in 30 minutes to an hour.
Is it safe to use a plunger for all types of blockages?
Plungers can work for very small clogs near the drain opening, but larger or deeper clogs need professional equipment. If plunging hasn't worked, it's time to call us.
How can I tell if my blocked drain is part of a bigger plumbing problem?
Watch for blockages across multiple drains at once, or low water pressure alongside the block. Either can point to a wider problem in your drainage system — get in touch as soon as you notice them.
Do you service different property types?
Yes — homes, businesses, factories and public buildings. Wherever you are in Melbourne, we make sure your drains stay clear.
