* $0 call-out fee applies during business hours
At Proud Plumbing & Gas, we understand how disruptive a blocked drain can be, so we clear it quickly and properly the first time. When you search for blocked drains Perth, you want a plumber who turns up fast, diagnoses the problem accurately and fixes it for good, and that’s exactly what we do. Our team of licensed, experienced drainage plumbers are blocked drain specialists who use industry-leading technology to get your plumbing system back to full flow. We clear blockages in both internal and external drains for domestic and commercial properties right across Perth, and we can also handle drain repairs and pipe relining when a drain is damaged.
As your local blocked drain plumber, we don’t just clear the blockage and leave. Using CCTV drain cameras we accurately diagnose the issue and pinpoint the exact location and cause, then use the right method (high-pressure water jetting, an electric drain machine, or pipe relining) to fix it with minimal disruption and no mess. We won’t leave until the blockage is cleared and your drainage system is running freely again.
Blocked drains can happen anywhere around your home or business, and each type of blockage needs a tailored solution. Our qualified plumbers have extensive experience with every kind of blocked drain, including:
Kitchen sinks clog with grease, food scraps and debris that build up over time, leading to slow-draining water and unpleasant odours.
Often caused by too much toilet paper, wipes, sanitary products or foreign objects, a blocked toilet can quickly become a messy problem if not cleared promptly.
Hair, soap scum and debris collect in shower drains, causing slow drainage or complete blockages.
Bathroom basins clog with hair, toothpaste and toiletries, leaving slow-draining or stagnant water.
A blocked stormwater drain or floor drain that isn’t working properly can cause pooling and overflow, especially in heavy rain.
We use advanced CCTV drain cameras to inspect your drains and identify blockages, cracks and potential issues before they become major problems.
Our experience and modern equipment let us handle everything from minor drain blockages to severe drainage problems, keeping your plumbing system in top shape.
A blocked drain can quickly turn into an urgent plumbing issue, and left untreated it can cause water damage, sewage backup and health hazards. That’s why our blocked drain services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Perth and the surrounding suburbs. Our rapid response minimises disruption and potential damage to your home or business, and our drainage plumbers arrive fully equipped to deliver fast, efficient service and clear most blockages on the spot.
We take a systematic approach to unblocking drains, starting with a thorough inspection to determine the exact location and cause of the blockage. Here’s how we resolve blocked drains:
Using state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras, we carry out drain camera inspections of the inside of your drains without invasive digging. This lets us accurately diagnose the cause of the blockage, whether it’s tree roots, grease build-up or foreign objects.
For tough blockages, high-pressure water jetting blasts away the obstruction. This method is highly effective at clearing grease, debris and even tree roots, restoring your drains to full capacity.
For drains damaged by blockages or wear and tear, pipe relining creates a new pipe lining within the existing pipe. It avoids costly, disruptive excavation and is a long-lasting solution that strengthens your drains from the inside out. Where a pipe is beyond relining, we can dig up and replace the damaged section.
To avoid future blockages, we offer regular drain maintenance and drain cleaning, keeping your plumbing clear and functional. This is especially valuable for commercial properties where recurring blockages disrupt business operations.
Spotting the signs of a blocked drain early can prevent more serious plumbing problems. Keep an eye out for these common symptoms:
Water backing up or overflowing from your drains
A lingering odour coming from the drain
Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or bathtubs
Gurgling sounds when water flows down the drain
Changes in toilet water levels, either higher or lower than usual
If you notice any of these, contact us to discuss our drain services before the problem escalates.
Blocked drains in Perth are caused by a mix of natural and human-made factors. The most common culprits include:
As trees grow, their roots infiltrate underground drain pipes in search of water, creating blockages that worsen over time and can damage the pipe.
Cooking grease and fat accumulate inside kitchen drains, forming a sticky residue that traps food scraps and debris.
Sanitary napkins, baby wipes and other foreign objects flushed down the toilet lead to blockages that need professional removal.
In bathroom drains, hair tangles and traps debris while soap and toothpaste build up to reduce water flow.
Starchy or fibrous food scraps clog kitchen sinks, especially where drain cleaning is rarely done.
In many Perth suburbs, sand and dirt wash into gully traps, gradually building up and causing drainage issues.
Older concrete and clay pipes are more prone to cracks and root intrusion, so regular inspections of older plumbing help prevent serious issues.
A quick note on chemical drain cleaners: they can corrode older pipes and joints, so they’re best avoided. Our blocked drain plumber will accurately locate the source of the blockage and clear it using a CCTV locating device, high-pressure water jetter or electric drain machine, giving you peace of mind that the job is done thoroughly the first time.

It depends on your policy. Sudden damage such as tree root intrusion may be covered, while general wear and tear usually isn’t. Check with your insurer for details.
Minor clogs can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake, but stubborn or recurring blockages are best left to a professional to avoid damaging your pipes. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they can corrode older pipes and joints.

Simple blockages usually take less than an hour, while more complex problems can take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate after inspecting the drain.
No. Our methods are safe for pipes. If a pipe is already damaged, we offer solutions such as pipe relining to fix the issue without digging.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, debris and tree roots from your drain pipes. It’s one of the most effective ways to clear stubborn blockages and restore full flow.
A CCTV drain inspection uses a waterproof camera to look inside your drains, letting us accurately diagnose blockages, cracks and damaged pipes and pinpoint their exact location without invasive digging.
Tree roots, grease and fat build-up, foreign objects, and hair and soap scum are the most common causes. In many Perth suburbs, sand washing into gully traps and aging pipe infrastructure also contribute.
We remove the roots to clear the blockage, but recurring tree root intrusion often means the pipe is cracked. In those cases, pipe relining or replacing the affected section provides a long-lasting fix.
