Blocked drain clearing in Melbourne
A blocked drain needs to be located, assessed and cleared – not guessed at. Plumstar attends homes and commercial sites across greater Melbourne to identify the cause, restore flow and provide clear pricing before any additional work starts.
About blocked drain clearing
Blocked drains can show up as slow fixtures, overflowing gully traps or sewage backing up in homes and commercial sites across greater Melbourne. The blockage may be within the property drainage system or further along the line. Left unresolved, it can lead to overflows, health risks and disruption to commercial operations.
Plumstar locates and clears blocked drains with licensed plumbers. We confirm the address, assess where the blockage is located and provide pricing before additional work starts. If there is an overflowing drain, addressing the immediate issue and making the area safe comes first. Any further clearing, camera inspections or repairs are discussed and priced before proceeding.
Private owners, real estates, body corporates and facility managers use the same licensed team. Planned camera inspections and repairs are scheduled around the property once the immediate blockage has been cleared.
Call (03) 9408 8664 if a drain is blocked or overflowing. The finished work is guaranteed.

What to expect
You get a licensed plumber who locates the blockage, explains what they have found and clears the drain. Any further work only proceeds once you understand the scope and agree to the pricing.
We confirm which fixture is affected
Tell us the address, the fixture, and whether water is backing up. Stop using the affected fixtures until we attend so the backup does not spread through the property.
We locate the blockage
The plumber traces the line, finds the restriction, and explains the cause in plain English. You hear whether grease, wipes, roots, or collapsed pipe is involved before anyone quotes a repair beyond the clear-out.
You approve the clear and any repair
We explain the clear-out process and any recommended repairs before proceeding beyond the initial blockage removal. You approve the scope and pricing before additional pipe repairs or other work begins.
We restore flow and guarantee the work
Once approved, we clear the blockage, restore flow and check the drainage line. All blocked drain work completed by Plumstar is backed by our guarantee.
