Drain Cleaning Melbourne
Clean drains, clear pipes - sorted same day
Drain cleaning is preventative maintenance that saves you from expensive emergency callouts later. We clean kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom drains packed with hair and soap, and sewer lines that haven’t been touched in years. Our hydro jetting equipment strips everything off the pipe walls and leaves them flowing like new.
Call 1300 303 247 for same-day service.
What is professional drain cleaning?
Professional drain cleaning goes beyond plunging a toilet. We use high-pressure water jetting (up to 5,000 PSI) to scour the inside of your pipes and remove grease, scale, sludge, soap residue, and minor root growth. The result is a pipe that flows at full capacity.Think of it like this - a blocked drain callout fixes today’s problem. Drain cleaning prevents next month’s problem. We recommend it for any home that’s had recurring blockages, or as a one-off for pipes that haven’t been cleaned in 5+ years.
Signs your drains need cleaning
Drains don’t go from clean to blocked overnight. You’ll notice these signs first:
- Slow-draining sinks or showers - water takes longer to empty than it used to
- Gurgling noises when water drains, especially from the kitchen sink
- Recurring blockages that keep coming back after clearing
- Bad smells from drains, particularly kitchen sinks where grease builds up
- Water backing up slightly when you run the washing machine or dishwasher

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the pipe length, number of access points, and what’s built up inside the pipe. We quote a fixed price after the initial camera inspection. Call 1300 303 247.
How often should drains be professionally cleaned?
For most Melbourne homes, every 2 to 3 years is enough. If you have large trees near your pipes or a history of grease blockages, annual cleaning is worth considering. We’ll recommend a schedule based on what we see in the pipe.
Is drain cleaning different from drain clearing?
Yes. Drain clearing removes a specific blockage so the water flows again. Drain cleaning scours the entire pipe walls to remove all buildup. Cleaning is more thorough and helps prevent future blockages.
Can drain cleaning damage old pipes?
Not when done properly. We always inspect with a CCTV camera first to check the pipe condition. If the pipe is fragile or badly cracked, we adjust the water pressure or recommend repair instead. We won’t risk damaging your pipes.
Do you clean stormwater drains as well?
Yes. We clean both sewer drains and stormwater drains. Stormwater pipes often fill with mud, leaves, and silt - especially in Melbourne’s bayside and eastern suburbs. See our stormwater drain cleaning page for more.
