Drain Unblocking in Victoria

About this service

Most domestic blockages have predictable causes: grease poured down the kitchen sink, which solidifies on the pipe walls and then catches everything passing through, hair and soap from the bathroom, wet wipes flushed down the toilet — which don't disintegrate, whatever the packaging claims — and limescale deposits from hard water. Method matters a great deal: a drain snake punctures the blockage and restores flow quickly but leaves deposits on the walls, whereas jetting actually washes the full bore of the pipe and considerably delays the next blockage. When a stack blocks repeatedly in the same place, the correct solution isn't another unblocking but a CCTV survey showing what's happening inside the pipe.

What to check before hiring a drain unblocking

Request a water test at the end of the job to confirm the drain runs completely free
Collect cooking grease in a container, not the sink — it's the number one cause of blockages
Fit strainers to bathroom wastes to catch hair before it reaches the pipe
Stop using the affected fitting as soon as you notice slow draining — a partial blockage becomes total quickly
Don't pour chemicals in before the plumber arrives; tell them if you already have
In a block of flats, notify neighbours on lower floors when you suspect a stack blockage

Frequently Asked Questions

Are chemical drain cleaners a good solution?

Only for light, recent blockages. With a solid obstruction the product never reaches it, sits in the pipe, and becomes dangerous for the plumber, who then works with caustic water. Used repeatedly, these products attack seals and older PVC or cast iron pipework. Always mention if you've poured any in.

What's the difference between a drain snake and jetting?

A drain snake mechanically punctures the blockage and restores flow quickly, ideal for localised hair or grease obstructions. Jetting uses a high-pressure water jet that washes the full bore, also removing wall deposits. It costs more but significantly delays the next blockage.

When is a CCTV survey necessary?

When the blockage recurs in the same place, when clearing doesn't hold for long, or when smells and damp appear with no visible cause. The camera reveals cracks, incorrect fall, tree roots in the pipe, or dropped objects, allowing a targeted repair instead of repeated call-outs.

Who pays for clearing a stack in a block in Victoria?

The vertical stack is common property, so the cost falls to the owners' association, not the individual flat. The connection between the fitting and the stack is the owner's responsibility. In Victoria, as everywhere, it's important to establish exactly where the blockage was before discussing payment; the plumber can confirm this.

Why does the same drain keep blocking?

Common causes are insufficient pipe fall, a badly made joint creating a step where residue collects, a reduced bore from an earlier repair, or hardened grease deposits. Recurrence in the same place indicates an installation problem rather than an accident, and is resolved by CCTV survey.

Can wet wipes be flushed down the toilet?

No, whatever the packaging says. Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes don't disintegrate in water and combine with grease to form very compact blockages. They're one of the main causes of stack blockages in blocks of flats. The same applies to cotton buds, dental floss, and sanitary products.
