A Blocked Drain Can Quickly Become More Than Just an Inconvenience

It could be a kitchen sink blockage, a clogged drain in the bathroom, or a blocked sewer backing up through the toilet.

It’s more than a plumbing issue; it’s a disruption to your home and your daily comfort.

You may worry about:

Bad odours spreading through the house
Water damage or sewage overflow
The problem recurring again and again
Damage spreading to neighbouring apartments or shared pipes

Our Blocked Drain Clearing Process

You should know what’s happening and what exactly you’re paying for. Our blocked drain process is straightforward, professional, and focused on fixing the problem with no surprises and hidden fees.

Plumber inspecting the clog pipes before working

Step 1: Initial Inspection
and Assessment

We start by identifying the exact cause of the blockage. We use CCTV drain cameras when needed to inspect inside your pipes, locate the obstruction, and assess the condition of the pipework.

Step 2: Upfront Quoting
Before Work Begins

Once we understand the issue, we explain what’s causing the blockage, and a clear, honest quote. You’ll know the recommended solution and alternatives before we proceed.

Step 3: Clear the Blockage With the Best Method

Depending on your pipes and the severity of the blockage, we may use:

Drain snake or electric eel for basic clogs
High-pressure hydro-jetting for stubborn blockages and sewer lines
CCTV camera to confirm the drain is fully cleared

Step 4: Clean-Up, Documentation, and Prevention Advice

Once the drain is cleared, we tidy the area and provide practical advice to help prevent future issues.

Where relevant, we can also supply before-and-after photos and a clear report which is ideal for landlords, property managers, or insurance purposes.

Ronan Morel

This was not an urgent repair, but made the effort to come as early as feasible. Very professional and explained clearly what was the issue (valve mixing hot and cold water that was due for a change due to old age) and why this occurred. Definitely will be on my good list.

Chris Bramley

Great guys to deal with. Would highly recommend. Used for drain unblocking.
The issue was explained clearly to me and how to prevent it from happening again.
Got good vibes from the beginning.

Will McDonald

Very impressed with the professional same day service I received from Blue Diamond Plumbing. They did a great job fixing the problem and I highly recommend. Also great to learn that all of their team were fully vaccinated.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BLOCKED DRAINS

What are the warning signs of a blocked drain?

Slow draining water, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, and water backing up through sinks or toilets are common warning signs. These symptoms often indicate a developing blockage that will worsen if left untreated. Acting early can help prevent overflows, water damage, and health risks.

Can I use supermarket drain cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, particularly older clay or metal plumbing common in South Melbourne homes. They often fail to remove the full blockage and can make future repairs more difficult. Calling a licensed plumber ensures the blockage is cleared safely and correctly.

How long does it take to unblock a drain?

Most blocked drains can be cleared within an hour once the cause is identified. More complex issues such as tree roots, collapsed pipes, or blocked sewer lines may take longer to resolve. We always explain what’s involved before work begins so you know what to expect.

Do you offer same-day drain unblocking?

Yes, we provide same-day service for urgent blocked drain issues across South Melbourne and nearby suburbs. Our priority is restoring normal drainage as quickly as possible. When you call, we assess urgency and respond accordingly.

Can you stop my drains from blocking again?

Yes. Once the blockage is cleared, we assess the condition of your pipes and identify contributing factors. We then provide clear advice on preventative maintenance to help reduce the risk of repeat blockages.

Do you handle blocked stormwater drains and sewers?

Absolutely. We repair and clear blocked sewer lines, blocked stormwater drains, and internal household drains. Our equipment allows us to locate and fix the problem without unnecessary disruption.
