Drains cleared across Melbourne
For every sink blockage, we have a solution
From small to large-scale blockages, our team has restored the sinks of homes and offices right across Melbourne.
Blocked kitchen sink
Food particles, grease and soap build up in kitchen drains over time. We diagnose thoroughly and target the blockage precisely.
Blocked bathroom sink
Soap, hair and product build-up are the usual culprits. Our CCTV cameras find the cause so we can keep your bathroom hazard free.
Blocked laundry sink
Lint, grease and small objects like coins commonly clog laundry drains. We inspect on camera and clear the blockage completely.

No matter the extent or type of sink block, you can rely on our experts to leave your sink operating like new.
How we fix a blocked sink
Wondering how to fix a blocked sink? Your drains are in the right hands — we match the method to the blockage:
- 1
CCTV camera inspection
A high-resolution camera inserted into the drain gives us real-time footage of exactly what's behind the blockage.
- 2
High pressure jet blasting
A non-invasive method — a long thin hose dispatches up to 5500 PSI of water to remove any block, no matter how difficult.
- 3
Chemical drain cleaning
For tree root intrusions we apply ROOTX, which instantly kills trapped roots so they flush out organically.
- 4
Pipe relining
A non-invasive alternative to excavation — epoxy applied inside the pipes brings them back to near-new condition.
Keep sink drains clear, with our steps
Sinks in the laundry, kitchen and bathroom block easily without the right care. Follow our plumbers' simple guide:
No oils or grease
Avoid pouring oils and grease down the drain — they solidify in pipes and cause blockages.
Use strainers
Strainers catch food particles, hair and other debris before they reach your pipes.
Bin your waste
Dispose of waste like hair responsibly into bins rather than washing it down the sink.
Flush with hot water
Regularly flushing hot water down the sink helps dissolve any build-up in the pipes.

Blocked sink FAQs
Answers to the blocked sink questions we hear most often.
Why is my sink suddenly blocked?
Sink blocks don't happen overnight — they typically develop from poor drain maintenance. Oils, grease and soap washed down the drain build up in the pipes and solidify into a blockage.
What should I do immediately if my sink is blocked?
First, avoid using the sink to prevent further build-up. Try using a plunger gently to see if it clears the blockage — and if not, call our team.
Will I need to replace my pipes if the blockage keeps coming back?
Not necessarily. If the sink keeps clogging, we'll use CCTV camera technology to find the root cause first, then recommend the fix that keeps your drains clear for longer.
Can a blocked sink lead to other issues?
Yes — left alone, the increased pressure in the pipes can lead to leaks or even burst pipes, along with pest and hygiene hazards.
