Same-Day Blocked Drain Service Across Melbourne

ATC Plumbing provides same-day blocked drain clearing for residential and commercial properties across Melbourne's south-east. We carry high-pressure jetting equipment and CCTV cameras on every van — so we can clear the blockage and diagnose the cause on the same visit.

How We Clear Blocked Drains

High-pressure water jetting is our primary drain clearing method. A flexible hose is fed into the drain and water is blasted at up to 5000 PSI — cutting through root masses, grease build-up, and debris more effectively than an electric eel. For toilet blockages, we use appropriate tooling to clear without damaging the ceramic. Once the drain is clear, we run a CCTV camera to check for structural issues that may cause the blockage to recur.

CCTV Drain Inspection Included

For any recurring or unexplained blockage, we include a CCTV drain camera inspection. This shows us exactly what caused the problem — tree root intrusion, cracked pipe, joint separation, or grease build-up — so we can recommend the right fix rather than just clearing and hoping for the best.

When Pipe Relining Is Required

If the CCTV camera reveals structural damage — root intrusion through joint cracks, pipe collapse, or joint separation — high-pressure jetting alone won't permanently resolve the problem. In these cases, CIPP pipe relining is usually the most cost-effective solution: a resin liner inserted and cured inside the pipe creates a seamless, root-resistant pipe without excavation. 35-year warranty included.
