Blocked Drains Melton and West Melbourne
A blocked drain is more than a small inconvenience. If left untreated, it can put extra pressure on your pipes, cause sewage to back up, and lead to water damage. These problems can become much more expensive to fix if the blockage is not cleared early.
At New Image Plumbing & Gas, we provide blocked drain services in Melton and West Melbourne. We identify the cause of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms.

What Causes Blocked Drains in Melton and West Melbourne?
-
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can grow into small cracks or gaps in underground pipes as they search for water. Our team can use a CCTV drain camera to check for root intrusion and high-pressure water jetting to clear the roots from your pipes.
-
Grease and Fat Build-Up
Grease, fat, and cooking oil can stick to the inside of your kitchen pipes and build up over time. We use high-pressure water jetting to break through stubborn grease and clear the pipe, helping restore normal water flow.
-
Hair and Soap Build-Up
Hair and soap residue can collect inside bathroom pipes and form a blockage. If your shower or bathroom sink is draining slowly, our team can inspect the pipe and clear the blockage to get your drain flowing properly again.
-
Foreign Objects and Debris
Items such as wipes, cotton buds, sanitary products, and other debris can become stuck inside your pipes and cause a blockage. Our team of Melton plumbers can inspect the drain, locate the obstruction, and use the right equipment to remove it safely.
-
Collapsed or Damaged Pipes
Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipes can trap debris and cause repeated blockages. We can use a CCTV camera to check the condition of your pipes and identify damaged sections. If pipe damage is found, our team will explain the available repair options.

Our Blocked Drain Service in Melton and West Melbourne
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
We use a waterproof CCTV camera to look inside your pipes and find the cause of the blockage. Our team can see where the blockage is, what is causing it, and whether the pipe is damaged. This helps us choose the right repair without guesswork.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Once we find the blockage, our team uses high-pressure water jetting to clear it. The strong flow of water breaks up grease, tree roots, sediment, soap build-up, and other debris inside the pipe. We clear the pipe thoroughly to help restore normal water flow.
Drain Snake (Electric Eel)
For smaller or more localised blockages, we use an electric eel to break up and remove the obstruction. Our team chooses the right equipment based on the type and location of the blockage. This is useful for common bathroom blockages caused by hair and soap build-up.
Pipe Relining
If a blocked drain is caused by a broken or root-damaged pipe, clearing the blockage alone will not fix the underlying problem. We offer a pipe relining solution to repair the damaged section from inside the existing pipe, without digging up your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains in Melton
How Do I Know if My Drain Is Blocked or Just Slow?
A slow drain can be an early sign of a blockage. If only one drain is slow, the blockage is likely close to that drain. If several drains are slow at the same time, or your toilet gurgles when you use the sink, there could be a blockage further down the main drain.
Can I Use Chemical Drain Cleaners From the Supermarket?
Chemical drain cleaners can help with some types of build-up, but they will not remove tree roots, large objects, or damaged pipes. Repeated use can also harm older pipes. If your blockage keeps coming back, our team can inspect the drain and find the cause instead of relying on chemical cleaners.
How Long Does It Take to Clear a Blocked Drain?
Simple blockages can be cleared quickly, while more difficult problems can take longer. Tree roots, damaged pipes, and other deeper blockages require more work. Our team will inspect the drain first and give you a clear idea of how long the job is likely to take.
How Much Does It Cost to Clear a Blocked Drain in Melton?
The cost depends on what is causing the blockage, where it is located, and which method we need to use. Our team will inspect the problem and explain the recommended work before we begin. You can call us for a free, no-obligation quote.
