Blocked Sewer Melbourne
We clear blocked main sewer lines 24 hours a day. We relieve the line at the inspection shaft first so waste stops rising through your floors, cut out the root mass, jet the pipe clean and camera it for the cause.
Rated 5/5 based on 50+ reviews. Licensed and insured, 6+ years on Melbourne homes.
Is It The Whole Sewer, Or Just One Fixture?
One test separates a main line blockage from a branch. If several fixtures play up together, the main is the problem. Flush the toilet and water rises in the shower, or run the washing machine and the floor waste bubbles up.
If only one fixture is affected, the fault sits in that branch alone and it is a smaller job. Our blocked drain page covers that version. Two or more at once means the blockage is out in the main.
Outside, check the overflow relief gully, the grated fitting sitting lower than your floors. It spills a blocked sewer onto the ground instead of through your bathroom. Never lift that grate, and keep kids and pets clear of spilled sewage.

Get the sewer running again, day or night
First we take the pressure off the house. We open the inspection shaft and relieve the blockage there, so what is banked up in the pipe drains away from your floors instead of into them. That stops the damage while we find the cause.
In older Melbourne suburbs the cause is usually tree roots. The original sewers are earthenware clay laid in short lengths, and every joint is a way in. We cut the root mass out with a mechanical cutter head and jet the line clean.
Then we camera the line. Footage shows a cracked barrel, an open joint or a section dropping out of line, and from there it is a repair or pipe relining to seal the run from inside. You get the price first, day or night.

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Blocked Sewer FAQs
Count how many fixtures are affected. One slow sink or one gurgling shower is a branch problem. Two or more misbehaving together points to the main line. The other clear sign is the overflow relief gully outside spilling onto the ground.
Stop putting water into the system. No toilets, showers, washing machine or dishwasher, because every litre has nowhere to go but back up. Keep people and pets off the affected floors. Do not tip drain cleaner down it, it will not shift a root mass.
Your sewer pipes are yours to maintain up to where your line joins the authority's sewer. The main in the street is your water corporation's. Our camera shows which side the blockage sits on, and if it is theirs we help you get them out.
A sewer is the wettest thing in the ground through a dry Melbourne summer, and roots grow towards water. Older suburbs pair earthenware clay pipe laid in short jointed lengths with mature street trees. Roots only need a hairline crack or an opened joint.
Usually not. Most sewer blockages are cleared through the existing inspection shaft with cutting and jetting, and no ground gets opened. Excavation only comes into it when the camera shows the pipe has broken or collapsed, and relining often repairs that without a trench.
We are based in Glenroy and attend blocked sewers right across Melbourne, strongest through the north and north-west. Call any hour, tell us your suburb and what you are seeing, and we will give you a real arrival window.
