Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains
1. What are the most common causes of blocked drains?
Blocked drains are often caused by a buildup of hair, grease, soap scum, food scraps, or tree roots invading outdoor pipes. In older homes, cracked or collapsed pipes can also cause recurring blockages. Our team at J&G Plumbing Solutions can inspect your drains using advanced camera equipment to find and fix the cause quickly.
2. Can I clear a blocked drain myself, or should I call a plumber?
Minor blockages might clear with a plunger or natural drain cleaner, but recurring or severe blockages often indicate a deeper issue. Using chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes, so it’s best to call a licensed plumber like J&G Plumbing Solutions to professionally diagnose and clear the blockage safely.
3. How do you detect the cause of a blocked drain?
We use CCTV drain camera inspections to visually inspect inside your pipes. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the blockage—whether it’s a tree root, grease buildup, or pipe damage—so we can provide the most effective and long-term repair.
4. What’s the best way to prevent blocked drains in the future?
Regular maintenance is key. Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary items, or large food scraps down drains, and install strainers to catch debris. J&G Plumbing Solutions also offers routine drain cleaning and inspection services to keep your pipes flowing freely year-round.
5. Do you offer emergency plumbing for blocked drains?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, including Doncaster, Doncaster East, and surrounding areas. If you notice water backing up, bad odours, or slow drains, call us anytime for fast, reliable blocked drain repairs and cleaning.
6. How much do you charge to unblock a drain?
We charge from $199 to unclog a blocked drain. The fee depends on the time required to remove the obstruction and the time of day. For example a call out after hours will cost more than during normal business hours.
