Blocked drains, Hankook Plumbing Melbourne
01 The short version

What this
actually means.

Most blocked drains can be cleared in an hour. The part that matters is what happens after. If a drain has blocked once it will usually block again, and the reason is almost always something you can see on a camera: roots through a joint, a bellied section holding water, a collapsed pipe, or years of fat and soap narrowing the bore.

So I clear it with the jetter, then put the camera down and show you the footage. If it is a one-off, you know that and you can stop worrying about it. If it is structural, you know that too, and you can decide what to do about it with actual evidence rather than a guess.

02 Scope

What you get,
and when to ring.

Included

What a drain job covers

When to call

  • The same drain blocks every few months
  • More than one fixture is draining slowly at the same time
  • Water rises in the shower or floor waste when you flush the toilet
  • There is a sewer smell in the yard or near a gully trap
  • Gurgling from a drain after you run the washing machine
03 Good questions

Questions I get
every week.

01 Will you actually show me the camera footage?
Yes. That is the point of putting the camera down. You see the blockage and the condition of the pipe, so any decision about repairs is yours to make with the evidence in front of you.
02 Do chemical drain cleaners work?
Rarely, on anything more than a partial clog, and they can damage older pipework. A jetter clears the full bore of the pipe, which is why a jetted drain tends to stay clear much longer.
03 Can tree roots be removed for good?
Cutting the roots clears the drain now. Roots come back through the same crack or joint unless that section is repaired or relined, which is exactly what the camera footage tells us.
