Drain Cleaning and Inspections

We clear blockages and perform inspections of underground pipe work

Blocked drains can cause slow water flow, bad smells, and in worse cases, sewage backup into your property. Suburban Gas and Plumbing clears blocked drains and performs CCTV pipe inspections across Melbourne. We arrive with electric eels, high-pressure water jetters, and camera equipment to clear the blockage and identify the underlying cause.

Our CCTV inspections let us see inside your pipes without digging. We can locate root intrusion, cracked pipes, grease buildup, and foreign objects, then recommend the most effective and cost-efficient repair. Whether it is a kitchen sink, stormwater drain, or main sewer line, we have the equipment to handle it.

Frequently asked questions

  • The most common causes are tree root intrusion, grease and fat buildup, foreign objects flushed down toilets, hair accumulation, and broken or collapsed pipes. Older properties with clay pipes are particularly prone to root intrusion.

  • Yes. We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your pipes and identify the exact location and cause of blockages, cracks, or damage. This avoids unnecessary digging and helps us recommend the most effective solution.

  • Avoid pouring cooking oil or grease down the sink, use drain screens to catch hair and debris, only flush toilet paper, and have your drains professionally cleaned every 1 to 2 years if you have mature trees near your sewer lines.

  • Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked and damaged drains in Melbourne. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate pipe joints, causing blockages and eventually cracking or collapsing the pipe.
