My wife and I very much appreciated the prompt response and professionalism of Joel, Dean, and Heather. Their service was highly recommended by another person now retired in the same profession as them. Thank you for the service of our gas heater. You guys are fantastic. Cheers again...

Upfront fixed price, no hidden costs. We confirm the price with you before any work starts, not after. Licensed and insured, right across the Rockingham to Mandurah corridor.

How We Clear Your Blocked Drain

We find the cause first, then clear it with the right tool for the job and test the flow before we leave.

CCTV Drain Camera

We locate the exact blockage underground without unnecessary digging, so we fix the real problem, not a guess.

High-Pressure Hydro Jetter

Focused water pressure that cuts through grease, soap scum, scale and tree roots and leaves the pipe clear.

Professional Drain Machines

Industrial drain snakes that reach deep into the line to break up and pull out stubborn everyday blockages.

Warning Signs of a Blocked Drain

Don't wait until water is backing up into your home. Spotting these early can save you a bigger, costlier job.

  • Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
  • Slow-draining sinks, showers or bathtubs
  • Unpleasant odours coming from drains
  • Water pooling around floor drains or outside
  • More than one fixture backing up at the same time

Blocked Shower Drains in Perth

Blocked shower drains are one of the most common jobs we deal with. Hair, soap scum and mineral build-up are usually behind it. Left alone, they lead to slow drainage, smells and even water damage to your bathroom. We clear shower drains quickly and check the line so they stay clear.

What Causes Blocked Drains?

  • Hair: one of the most common causes, especially in showers and basins.
  • Grease and fat: builds up in kitchen pipes over time until water cannot pass.
  • Wet wipes and toiletries: these do not break down and get stuck, even the ones labelled flushable.
  • Tree roots: thirsty roots find tiny cracks in pipes and expand inside them.
  • Foreign objects: toys, food scraps and sanitary products that should go in the bin.
  • Mineral build-up: hard water deposits that narrow the pipe over the years.

Blocked Drains, Areas We Service

We are a family-run plumbing and gas business based in Port Kennedy, clearing blocked drains right along the Rockingham to Mandurah corridor. Same upfront fixed pricing wherever you are.

Rockingham & Southern Perth

Older homes around Rockingham and Safety Bay often deal with roots and grease in clay pipes. We bring the hydro jetter and camera to clear it properly the first time.

Mandurah & Peel Region

Across Mandurah and the newer estates at Lakelands and Meadow Springs, we clear blocked sinks, toilets and stormwater drains and camera the line so the fix lasts.

Kwinana & Bertram

We look after homeowners in Kwinana, Bertram and Golden Bay, from a slow kitchen sink to a fully blocked sewer line, with the same fixed-price quote before we start.

All areas get the same upfront fixed pricing and fast turnaround, usually within 1 to 2 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about blocked drains across Perth, Rockingham and Mandurah.

We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know the cost upfront with no hidden extras.

First we find the cause and location of the blockage, often with a CCTV drain camera. Then we clear it with the right tool for the job, usually a drain machine for everyday blockages or a high-pressure hydro jetter for grease, scale and roots. We finish by testing the flow to make sure the drain runs freely.

Most standard blockages are cleared in the one visit, often within an hour or two. More complex jobs like heavy root intrusion or a collapsed pipe can take longer, and if a repair is needed we usually have it sorted within 1 to 2 business days.

Your fixed quote covers locating the blockage, clearing it and testing that the drain runs properly, plus honest advice on preventing it happening again. We agree the price with you before we start, so there are no hidden costs at the end.

Yes. In Western Australia, drainage work must be carried out by a licensed plumber. Drip Hunters is fully licensed and insured, holding plumbing licence PL8883, so the work is done legally and to standard.

As a rule, the property owner is responsible for the pipes and drains within their property boundary, while the Water Corporation looks after the main sewer past the connection point. If you are not sure where the blockage sits, our camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is.

Yes. We are based in Port Kennedy and cover the full Rockingham to Mandurah corridor, including Baldivis, Secret Harbour, Safety Bay, Warnbro, Waikiki, Kwinana, Bertram, Lakelands, Meadow Springs and the surrounding suburbs.

A one-off blockage normally just needs clearing. If the same drain keeps blocking, or the camera shows a cracked or collapsed pipe or heavy root damage, a repair or pipe relining is the better long-term fix. We tell you honestly which one you actually need rather than upselling work that is not necessary.

When it is done by a licensed plumber at the correct pressure, hydro jetting is safe for sound pipes. On older or already damaged pipes we run a camera first and adjust our approach, so we do not make a small problem worse.

Check they are licensed and insured, that they quote a fixed price upfront rather than springing costs on you at the end, and that they carry proper gear like a hydro jetter and a CCTV camera. A local plumber who knows the Rockingham to Mandurah area will also get to you faster.

Keep grease, fat and coffee grounds out of the sink, use a drain strainer to catch hair and food scraps, and only flush pee, poo and paper. If you have trees near your drainage, a yearly check helps catch root intrusion before it blocks the line.

Got a blocked drain? Let's sort it.

Fixed price before we start, no hidden costs. Local, licensed and usually with you within 1 to 2 business days.

...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!
