Blocked Drains Cleaning Perth

We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know the cost upfront with no hidden extras. As a guide, simple blockages cleared with a drain machine start from around $150, while hydro jetting starts from around $300 and tree root removal from around $350, because they take longer and need heavier equipment.

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.
