What’s Usually Causing It in Baldivis
Baldivis is a mix of newer estates, established homes and semi-rural lifestyle blocks, and the common causes of a blocked drain change depending on which one you’re in.
Newer estates
Building sand, construction debris and wet wipes are the usual culprits in Baldivis’ newer developments, especially in the first year or two after a build.
Established streets
In Baldivis’ older, more established pockets, tree roots working into ageing pipe joints looking for moisture are the most common cause of a recurring blockage.
Lifestyle blocks near Karnup
On the eastern lifestyle blocks not connected to deep sewer, a “blocked drain” can actually be a full or struggling septic tank or leach drain rather than the house line itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about blocked drains in Baldivis
It depends on the cause and how far into the line it is, so we don’t quote blocked drains without looking at the job first. Book a visit and we’ll give you a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.
We start by checking the affected fixtures and access points. Depending on what we find, we’ll clear the blockage with an electric drain machine or high-pressure water jetting, and use a CCTV camera first if the cause isn’t obvious.
Most straightforward blockages are cleared in a single visit. If a CCTV inspection shows a damaged or collapsed section of pipe, that repair may need a second visit to plan the work properly.
A proper inspection of the affected drain, a diagnosis of what’s causing the blockage, and a fixed quote before any work starts. If a CCTV inspection is needed to see inside the pipe, we’ll let you know why before we run it.
In newer estates, this is often building sand or leftover construction debris still working its way out of the line, or wet wipes and similar items that shouldn’t go down the drain. If it’s a recurring issue rather than a one-off, it’s worth having a CCTV inspection to rule out a damaged section of pipe from the build.
Yes. On properties running on a septic system rather than deep sewer, a slow or backed-up drain can point to the septic tank or leach drain rather than the house plumbing itself. We’ll ask a few extra questions upfront so we diagnose the right part of the system before recommending anything.
It comes down to what the CCTV inspection shows. A cracked or root-affected section can often be repaired or relined without digging up the whole line. A collapsed or badly damaged section usually needs replacing. We’ll walk you through the options and the quote before deciding anything.
Check they’re licensed and insured, ask whether they’ll inspect before quoting, and confirm the quote is fixed before work starts. Drip Hunters is licensed (PL8883) and gas fitting licensed (GF011765, BF0757), and we always diagnose the cause before giving you a price.
Yes. We cover Baldivis, from the newer estates through to the established streets and the lifestyle blocks toward Karnup, plus neighbouring Port Kennedy, Serpentine, Waikiki and Warnbro.

Reviews
Drip Hunters is always responsive and professional. I always use Drip Hunters and I highly recommend them.
Very professional service. Joel doesn't mess about. Diagnosed and resolved our plumbing issues very quickly. Will use again.
...the last time Joel came for a job, he even brought home-made play dough and placemats as a gift for the children.
I needed someone to come and put in a "renters" air con, even though not technically in his wheelhouse, I needed a handyman and Joel was the MAN!
