Blocked Drains Geelong

As a Licensed Plumber with over 30 years in the industry, I specialise in this area, as a Certified Water Jetter. I've found high-pressure water jets as an affordable, effective and efficient way to cut through drain blockages. High-pressure drain jetting is non-invasive, which means no harsh chemicals are being used, so it's not harmful to the environment.

Plumbing hydro jets are similar to a home water pressure cleaner but deliver very powerful blasts of water, which require a highly experienced operator for safety reasons. They can clean the insides of pipes quickly, removing scale and deposits and also push through any obstructions. They can even cut through tree roots, and be used in conjunction with a drain camera to investigate the pipe prior to clearing a blocked drain.

Our expert team can help you with any drainage issues in your home, business or industrial premises. We also work with other plumbers in Geelong and surrounding suburbs who don't specialise in drain cleaning and can also assist real estate agents, body corporates and local councils with any work that is required.

Whether it's a more minor sink blockage or larger issues like sewer pipes or stormwater drains, we'll ensure the best service and a fast resolution at an affordable price.

Prices will depend on how complex the blockage is. For a minor blockage, prices can start from around $150, whereas a sewer blockage that needs to be inspected with a camera can be upwards of $450. It's hard to say without seeing what we are working with, but we are happy to attend and provide a free, upfront quote.

Some general plumbers are able to do drain cleaning, but if you are dealing with a larger or more complex blockage, a regular plumber won't have the right equipment. This includes things like mini cameras to be able to view what is in the drain, and high-pressure water jetters to clear out stubborn blockages.

Yes, fully licensed with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) which is the state plumbing industry board (Licence #29234) with over three decades of experience. We also have complete public liability insurance.

On top of that, I'm fully trained and certified to use water jetters, which ensures you receive the right service with the right equipment to solve your blockage – no matter if you have a simple drainage issue or an extensive, stubborn or complex problem to be fixed.

In Australia, property owners are responsible for maintaining the drains on their property in most cases, unless damage has been caused by a tenant due to obvious negligence, such as throwing large items down the drain. Generally, though, this is the responsibility of property owners to maintain.

For a minor drain blockage, it can be possible to fix on your own, but for anything major or messy, we recommend calling in an expert!

Baking soda and vinegar, or storebought drain clearing products can help with minor blockages. Using boiling hot water isn't always the safest option, as it may damage fittings or worse lead to steam or contact burns on your skin.

We offer both general plumbing and blocked drains right across the Geelong area, including the Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong Surf Coast and areas such as Werribee and Altona.
