How can I tell if my drains are blocked?

You might already know that your drain is blocked, but if you’re unsure, here are some things to look out for:

  • Unusual bubbling of water around your drains or toilets
  • Bubbling and gurgling sounds coming from your sinks and toilets
  • Puddles in your yard even when it hasn’t been raining

  • Toilets that do not flush correctly

Do I need a plumber to unclog a drain?

Unblocking a drain is serious business and not something that many people can solve themselves – it’s often what you can’t see that is the real issue. Speed, quality and service is essential to ensuring happiness when it comes to blocked drain problems - which is why we take pride in getting everything right. From unblocking drains quickly and efficiently to fixing leaks and blocked drain repairs of all shapes and sizes, we will make sure your problem is fixed as soon as possible.

What is the cheapest way to unclog a drain?

The question really should be, “What is the most expensive way to unclog a drain?” The answer is; doing it yourself! Attempting to unblock a problematic drain yourself means more time for the blockage to cause damage to your property and home. You need to call Melbourne Plumbing Co. because we are the experts in blocked drains and we can solve the problem quickly. It’s usually very obvious when a blocked drain is something more than you can handle, and the longer you wait, the more chance of it being too late to prevent something more serious and costly from happening.

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?

This is not an easy question to answer simply as there are several factors that can affect the cost of unblocking your drain, including:

  • The type of drain that is blocked
  • The location of the drain that is clogged
  • How difficult the clog is to reach
  • Any damage that the blockage has caused to the pipe
  • The time it takes to unblock the drain

The best way to get an indication of how much it will cost to unclog your drain is to call us now on 1300 293 263.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

The reasons for blocked drains and pipes may seem like a mystery – but to start with, if you're experiencing problems with your water flow due to blocked drains, the first thing you should do is contact Melbourne Plumbing Co.

Some causes of blocked drains include: 

  • The ages of pipes and plumbing
  • Tree and plant roots
  • Debris and rubbish from storms
  • Flushing items down the toilet
  • Not clearing your drains regularly
  • Not using sink guards 

Regardless of the cause, having an experienced plumber from Melbourne Plumbing Co on board will help ensure that your water is flowing better than ever!

How do I prevent blocked drains?
  • Never flush objects down the sink or toilet
  • Don’t wash grease and fats down the sink
  • Clear your shower drains, sink drains and sink traps regularly
  • Ensure that your roof guttering and drain pits are cleaned regularly
  • Conduct regular inspections of your drains

The best way to avoid blocked drains and broken pipes is by having them inspected by Melbourne Plumbing Co. on a regular basis. We recommend calling us regularly to keep your drains unblocked and in tip-top condition.

Called this morning for main leakage, got plumber confirmed within 20min to come around on the same day. Front desk communication and care is top class, thanks Melanie. Also thanks to Dave who did a fantastic job fixing the main pipe and thanks for recommending the pressure reducer, now our kitchen tap sounds like paradise, before it was hellfire.

During landscaping works in our garden we accidentally hit a water pipe and had water going everywhere. Melbourne Plumbing Co quickly came to the rescue. They were over at our place the same day and quickly had the broken pipe fixed, with friendly service to boot! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melbourne Plumbing Co. 👌

I have no hesitation in recommending Melbourne Plumbing Co! All of my experiences and contact with them have been nothing but incredibly positive and they will be my first call for any future issues. Melanie was super responsive to my initial query when I had low water pressure and sent someone out to look at it quickly. David and Mo were both really friendly and thorough while looking at my issue. They were able to fix my water pressure in the first visit and explained what the problem was to me. My shower is now the more powerful than it has ever been! When my hot water unit died, Christian came to visit the next day and worked around my schedule. He was able to provide me with a quote on the same day and had someone come out the next day to fix it. David and Maddy were really lovely and worked quickly to get their part done before the electrician arrived. They were both so friendly and let me ask questions along the way while they took me through everything they were doing. Everyone who helped and came to my home was incredibly helpful, friendly, thorough, and helped me understand the problem and what they were doing to fix it. Special shout out to David who was very kind and is very skilled at his job while teaching others, and to Melanie who has been so lovely and helpful. Huge thank you for minimising the stress in these difficult situations! It is greatly appreciated

Simply brilliant. From the initial call to attending and completing repairs, I couldn't be more impressed by Aaron and Melbourne Plumbing Co, after urgent repair for burst plumbing and shower taps that were unable to be turned off. The leaking had also caused water ingress in the building and flooding downstairs and through the wall outside. Aaron promptly and easily identified the fault and was able to repair it "live" without mains access. Water was flooding through the wall behind the shower, and running outside and into the room downstairs. The burst and flooding was due to high water pressure required to supply slowly-leaking taps reported since moving in and quoted to repair in 2023 by rental agency plumbers (replace old tap washers), but repair work was never approved to be performed. The agency owner repeatedly refused to approve repair work and insisted on attending and personally viewing the property faults and repair issues (which included rusty water and recurrent failure of the electricity supply). He reached in to the shower and turned the leaking shower taps even tighter in the off direction in 2023 to demonstrate how he had solved the faulty taps and any need for plumbing repair. The agent stated that the taps were simply not turned tight enough "off". He advised me I "just need to turn them off tighter" in order prevent the water that was leaking from the shower head and also leaking directly from the tap spindles, particularly leaking from the tap spindle for the hot water. As a result, this and the un-repaired taps allowed the leaking water to continue leaking from the tap and shower fixtures, and water pressure to continue to increase for over 12 months. This also meant Aaron had to attend and repair the burst and had high pressure running shower water and external flooding to combat to isolate the issues and fault and perform the repair work. Couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism and ability to Melbourne Plumbing Co to respond, identify and complete repair. Melanie was also fantastic and very prompt, and made everything easy. No hesitation in recommending them. Highly capable, efficient, and thorough. A special comment about Aaron, and his pride and workmanship- despite his youth, he seemed like he’d been a plumber for over 50 years. He had so much integrity for his trade and dedication to helping and getting the job done. Extremely experienced, calm, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t thank and commend him enough.

Amazing ... we were waiting longer than a month for our usual plumber so rang Melb Plumbing. It wasn't an emergency but they had a free plumber available and were at our place in 15 minutes. Yes 15 min! They were professional, polite, asked how we wanted our taps set, listened to us, explained what they were doing, did the job very efficiently and cleaned up. They are fantastic. Even made sure the dog didn't escape out the door. David and Mo ... thanks for your excellent work. Price was fair and reasonable for a few hours of tricky quarter turn taps, kitchen mixer and shower set replacements. Highly recommended.

If you require a plumber/s in an emergency these are the people to call. I had a serious issue with my Hot Waterservice (no HOT WATER coming through the tap), my worst nightmare. Fortunately a Plumber by the name of Arron arrived checked out the issue and went to work. Solved the problem and explained the issue. Not only that he replaced my bathroom taps, kitchen taps and adjusted the ones in tha laundary. Try turning on a Tap that has been locked for a number of years. Arron did the hard work for me and made everything new again (Magic).The cost was very competitive and I would recommend that you give them a call if that plumbing nightmare rears its ugly head in your home and let Melbourne Plumbing deal with it so that you can have that warm shower and sleep in peace.

We have been using Melbourne Plumbing Co. for over 2 years, William and the team have always been amazing to deal with, on time and professional.

William always gives good advice and written quotes before any work is done and we trust him 100%. So nice to have found reliable plumbers!

Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard! Communication and responsiveness were both excellent. What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded. We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.

The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
