Blocked drain clearing

Slow draining sinks, gurgling toilets and overflowing gullies. We clear the line and identify the cause.

What the work involves

We clear blocked drains for homes and businesses across Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Our vehicles carry high-pressure water jetters and electric drain machines, so most blockages are cleared on the first visit. Once the line is clear we run a camera through it to confirm the cause, whether that is tree roots, a build-up of waste or a damaged section of pipe.

  • High-pressure water jetting that clears the full diameter of the pipe
  • CCTV inspection afterwards to confirm the line is clear
  • Tree root cutting through to the sewer connection
  • Advice on preventing the blockage from returning

  • We received amazing service from AC Plumbing & Drainage. They sorted out our blocked drain quickly and explained everything clearly. Friendly, reliable and reasonably priced. Would definitely use them again!

  • We had heaps of issues with blocked drainage at our old property in the Darebin area. We didn’t really know what was going on, nor did the guys before AC. Driveway flooding became a bit of an issue. When we called AC he arrived the same afternoon and sorted it quick fast! He’s got all the right gear and set up. Actually, I’m writing this 3 months since his visit and no dramas! I’ve referred him to a couple of friends and they’ve both got good feedback... Would definitely use them again!
