Need to clear a blocked drain? Check out our comprehensive guide to dealing with blocked drains
Blocked pipes, drains and other water channels can be caused by a range of factors, from the build-up of grease, soap, and hair in bathroom sinks and shower drains, to foreign objects and tree roots blocking pipes and sewage drains. Homeowners often try to fix these issues themselves using DIY methods like a plunger, a coat hanger or a chemical drain cleaner, but these can often make the problem worse and cause damage to your drain system.
Another common issue that can cause drain blockages is foreign objects. These can include items such as paper towels, sanitary products, and even nappies, which can get stuck in the pipes and cause an obstruction. Some other foreign objects and substances that can cause these problems include, coffee grounds, baby wipes, and general gunk from rinsed dishes.
One of the most common drainage blocks is blocked toilets. Sometimes a toilet plunger is not enough to get the job done. They are one of the most stubborn obstructions you can encounter, and the culprit is usually toilet paper or something else that has been flushed. They can easily cause a messy overflow from your sewer or septic tank.
Tree roots can also be a cause, particularly in outdoor drains. Over time, tree roots can grow into the pipes and cause a block, which can result in sewage backing up into the home. The good news is that Melbourne Plumbing Co are here to help! Our drain services are second to none, so contact us today.

Prevention is key when it comes to avoiding blocked pipes, drains and . Good drain maintenance is easy: some simple steps you can take to prevent these problems include disposing of grease and food scraps in the bin rather than down the sink, using a drain cover to catch hair and other debris, and avoiding flushing foreign objects like nappies or sanitary products down the toilet. Regular professional drain cleaning services can also help prevent blockages from occurring in the first place.
One of the easiest ways to prevent drains from becoming blocked is to avoid pouring cooking oil and other greasy substances down the drain. Instead, you can wipe them out of pans and dishes using paper towels before washing them. Remember to cover the drain when you have to scrape food into your sink to prevent it from getting blocked.
Using a drain cover can also help to prevent these kinds of issues, particularly in bathroom sinks and showers. A drain cover can catch hair and other debris, preventing it from entering the pipes and causing a block.

10/10 from start to finish. Excellent support on phone. Arrived on time. Courteous, efficient and took the time to explain things to me. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
Highly recommend Christian and his team. Punctual, do great work and reasonably priced. Would like to say a big thank to Melanie, who orchestrated the whole work.
Great plumber. Very fast, friendly and reliable service! Would highly recommend!
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. Can only recommend!
Prompt to attend and quote, good communication from start to finish, high quality work, reasonable pricing. A happy customer, will call them again and recommend to others.
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.
David was amazing, fixed my shower head leak and now it works perfect, amazing value amazing service just outstanding work.
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.
The Melbourne Plumbing Co team do a great job. We have used them for the past few years and will continue to do so. They are reliable, explain everything clearly and the pricing seems very fair. I have no hesitation in recommending them :)
Reliable and affordable! Got my shower working perfectly again. Will definitely call them next time.
Super quick service! Fixed my leaky sink in no time. Highly recommend these guys.
Had a broken hot water heater at our apartment and contacted several places for help/quote. Chris and his team are the most approachable, professional and reliable among all of them. Highly recommended and will refer if any friend is looking for good plumbing service.
My neighbour recommended these guys for a blocked drain. They showed up fast and fixed the issue promptly. Truly impressive service!
Professional and friendly plumbers. Resolved our issues with expertise. Would definitely call again!
Christian was able to help us with our blocked drains. He was prompt, very thorough and great to deal with. He took the time to talk us through the underlying issue. We cannot thank Christian enough. Without a doubt I would get Christian and Melbourne Plumbing Co to help me with my next plumbing issue
Found my water heater is not working and contacted Chris for help in the morning. He immediately ordered a brand new one and resolved all the problems for me straight away. Also, when he’s fixing for me, he found that there’s water leaking of my neighbor’s water pipes at the same time. He’s a life saver for both of us now! Thank you so much Chris!
I called Christian and he was amazing. He was in the area and dropped past straight away in between another job. He found an issue which another plumber hadn't. He is very genuine and took the time to investigate thoroughly and explain what the issues were in a polite manner. Would definitely recommend and will be using him whenever I need a plumber in future.
Aaron came out promptly and fixed our broken pipe very quickly. I am very happy with the service.
Good experience, came within the hour, found and fixed the problem in less then an hour. Was able to use the plumbing immediately and fixed a few other small problems around the house.
Every helpful and made it easy to understand what they where doing at my house would recommend
Chris from Melb Plumbing Co installed our new instant gas hot water service. He provided some great advice and was prompt in turning up and completing the work when he said he would. Thanks!
Honest and reliable plumbing service. Would highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing 👌
Friendly and very reliable service provided by Christian and Aaron. Will definitely be using them again in future!
I had trouble finding a plumber that would work on my in wall cistern. This company agreed and did the job efficiently and competitively. Great job! They will stay in my address group!
So happy to have found such a friendly and competent plumber, Christian is a great communicator and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Aaron did a great job fixing several plumbing issues at my place, nothing was too much trouble and afterwards he took the time to show me what the causes were. A professional, trustworthy and down to earth team, thank you for a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melbourne Plumbing Co.
Christian made the whole process really easy, and hassle free. His was one of the most reasonable quotes I got yet there didn't seem to be any corner cutting. Highly recommend.
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. Our hot water service broke on a Friday and William came that day to look at it for us and we had a new hot water system installed on Saturday morning - limiting our time without hot water. 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. With thanks, Catherine and Mark
Had a problem with my toilet late on a Saturday evening, was very prompt and was here within the hour. Also was honest enough to half the quote because of the work that was needed, cheers mate👍🏻
Chris is a great plumber and did a great fantastic job! Good value and great results. Will contact them again if we have another plumbing job 👍
Competent plumbers ..job completed successfully…very considerate and thoughtful re moving around inside and outside the property.., the invoice was reflective of the job required. They will be used again
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.
Thank you to Aaron for attending to this minor couple of jobs so promptly. Great communication and very polite, clean and efficient. Will definitely make use of this company again.
Fantastic service. I needed an issue with my hot water fixed and then asked about another issue I had with my gas stove. They fixed it on the spot saving me a second call out fee. Very grateful.
We have the pleasure of working with Melbourne Plumbing Co for our Real estate business Burtons and have to say we have been thoroughly impressed with their service. From start to finish, they are professional, efficient, and always kept me in the loop about what was going on. Overall, I can't recommend Melbourne Plumbing Co highly enough. Their team is knowledgeable, experienced, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional service. If you're in need of plumbing services, I highly recommend giving them a call!
Second time using this service, Christian has been very responsive and professional, up front with all costs, extremely quick service and arrived ahead of time, done an excellent job and left without leaving a single piece of rubbish behind.
Very prompt service, professional and quality work. We would definitely use Melbourne Plumbing Co for all future work. Thank you.
We’re so pleased to have found Christian. Quick follow-up and our non-urgent cistern problem was repaired the next morning. Fast, courteous and efficient service by Aaron. Having moved into Moonee Valley area 6 months ago and trying 2 other plumbers, Melbourne Plumbing is now our saved plumber contact.
