Average Price Guide
How Much Does It Cost to Unblock a Drain?
The cost to unblock a drain ranges from $250 to $1000, depending on the complexity of the job. Here is what sets the price:
- Simple blockages: grease or food build-up is usually cleared quickly and sits at the lower end of the range.
- More involved jobs: tree roots or hard-to-reach lines can mean digging for access, or lifting and reinstating pavers and landscaping, which adds to the cost.
- Rare cases: unusual site conditions or a badly collapsed pipe can push it higher.
Before any work begins you get a clear explanation of what is involved and what it will cost. Nothing starts until you approve it, and the on-site quote itself is free.
Your Reliable Emergency Drain Unblocking Experts!
Sewage backing up through the shower grate. A kitchen sink that will not clear. A gully overflowing onto the lawn every time the washing machine empties. Those are the calls we take most days across Perth metro, and a blocked drain like that is rarely fixed by another bottle of supermarket cleaner.
Blocked drains in Perth usually come down to three things: fat and food waste setting hard in the kitchen line, hair and soap building up in the bathroom stack, or tree roots finding a joint in the sewer. We clear the line first, then tell you which one it was. The jetter, the drain camera and the root cutter are already on the truck, so most jobs are finished in one visit. If yours cannot wait, the emergency line runs 24 hours.
If only one toilet is affected, our blocked toilet service in Perth explains the warning signs and the methods used to clear it.

Early Signs of Blocked Drains, and What They Mean
Most blockages give you a week or two of warning before they overflow. The signs worth acting on:
- A sink or shower draining slower than it used to
- A smell rising from the floor waste or the gully outside
- Gurgling from the toilet when the shower runs
- Water backing up in one fixture when you use another
- Two or more fixtures playing up at the same time
- The same clog returning within weeks of being cleared
The last two matter most. A single slow basin is usually hair and soap in the trap, and a plunger will often shift it. Two fixtures failing together, or a clog that keeps coming back, points at the main line instead: roots at a joint, a cracked section, or a sag in the pipe holding water. Nothing sold at the supermarket reaches that far, and the caustic products eat old galvanised pipework on the way past.
That is the point where a camera is worth more than another clean. We put the drain camera down the line, find the fault, and quote the repair on the spot. The quote is free and there is no call-out fee, whether you go ahead or not.

Every truck carries a high-pressure jetter, a drain camera and a root cutter, so the diagnosis and the fix usually happen in the same visit. When the camera shows a broken pipe rather than a build-up, we can reline it from the inside instead of digging up the yard, and that relining work carries a 25-year warranty. General plumbing work carries a 12-month warranty.
Blocked Drain Questions We Get Asked Around Perth
In Perth it is usually one of four things: fat and food waste setting hard in the kitchen line, hair and soap building up in the bathroom trap, foreign objects lodged in a fixture branch, or tree roots finding a joint in the sewer. Older properties add a fifth, rusted galvanised pipe that has narrowed from the inside.
Put strainers on the shower and the kitchen waste. Pour cooking fat into a jar rather than down the sink. If tree roots are the cause, none of that helps for long: the joint has to be cut clear and the pipe sealed.
Sometimes, on a minor build-up in a basin or shower. Caustic drain cleaners do not reach a main-line blockage, and they corrode old galvanised pipework on the way through. If the same clog returns within a few weeks, the chemical is not the answer.
Stop using the affected fixtures so the line does not fill any further, and keep the washing machine and dishwasher off. If water is rising rather than draining, turn the water off at the meter. Then call us: the emergency line runs 24 hours.
It depends on what the camera shows. Most jobs are cleared with a high-pressure water jetter. Tree roots at a joint need the root cutter. Older or fragile pipes are cleared mechanically instead. We look before we choose, rather than the other way round.
On sound pipework, no. On pipe that is already corroded or cracked, clearing can expose damage that was already there. That is why we camera the line first and tell you what we can see before we start.
Most jobs land between $250 and $1000, depending on access and on what caused the blockage. The on-site quote is free, there is no call-out fee, and if we cannot clear it you do not pay.
