What counts as a drain emergency?

Not every blocked drain is an emergency, but some situations need a plumber the same day, not the same week.

Signs it can't wait

If you're seeing any of these, stop using the affected fixtures, turn off the water supply if it's overflowing, and call 0499 281 430.

  • Sewage or wastewater backing up into a sink, shower or toilet
  • Water overflowing from a drain or gully trap onto your floor or yard
  • Every drain in the house blocked or draining slowly at once

  3. Tech in a black Plumbed Right hoodie running the CCTV camera at a side-yard pit

    Camera first

    Our plumbers carry a CCTV camera and a hydro jet on the truck, so we can see the cause before we start work.

  4. Two techs feeding the jetter hose into a drain

    Clear and confirm

    We clear the blockage on-site, run the camera through again to confirm it's clear, and quote any repair work before we start it.

Pricing and guarantee

Will an emergency
cost extra?

You'll get a price once the camera confirms what's causing the blockage, not before. Have a written quote for the same job from another licensed Perth plumber? We'll beat it.

How we price it
Job typeTypical costWhat's included
Coming out to quote No call-out fee After-hours and weekend rates can differ; ask when you call
Clearing the blockage Quoted on site Quoted once the camera confirms the cause
If we can't clear it No charge for the attempt No fix, no pay on blockage clearing

Typical Perth ranges, not a fixed price list. We confirm your exact price on site, before any work starts.

What changes the price

  1. Type of blockage

    Grease and hair clear fast with a hydro jet. Roots or solids need cutting equipment first.

  2. Where it sits

    A pipe under a slab, driveway or garden bed adds access time.

  3. Pipe age and material

    Old clay or rusted galvanised pipe can need extra prep before the repair.

  4. Repair method

    Relining avoids digging. A full dig-and-replace adds excavation and reinstatement.

    Getting a plumber fast

    How fast can you get to an emergency blocked drain in Perth?

    Our phones are answered 24/7 and same-day service is available across Perth. Call 0499 281 430 and we'll give you an honest arrival window.

    Do you cover my suburb on emergency calls?

    We run emergency drain clearing across Perth's northern suburbs, from Sorrento to the Joondalup corridor, and the western suburbs. Call 0499 281 430 to confirm coverage for your address.

    What should I do while I wait for the plumber?

    Stop using the blocked fixture, and turn off the water supply if water is overflowing or backing up. Don't pour any chemical drain cleaner down the pipe before we arrive, because it can make the camera inspection harder to read.

    Cost and guarantee

    Do you charge more for emergency or after-hours callouts?

    There's no call-out fee to quote. After-hours and weekend rates can differ from weekday rates, so ask when you call and we'll tell you before anyone comes out.

    What if you attend and can't fix it?

    If we can't clear the blockage, you don't pay for the attempt.

    The problem and the fix

    What causes a sudden, urgent blocked drain?

    Sudden blockages are usually tree roots finally closing off a pipe, a collapsed or cracked section, or a build-up of grease and debris reaching a critical point. A CCTV drain camera confirms which one you're dealing with. For a permanent fix on a damaged pipe, see pipe relining.

    Can you clear a blocked sewer drain that's actively backing up?

    Yes. A backed-up sewer drain is treated as a priority emergency call, since it affects every fixture connected to the main line, not just one drain.

    What tools do you use to clear an emergency blockage fast?

    We use a CCTV drain camera to find the cause, then clear it with a hydro jet or the IMS Robotic Cutter, depending on what's blocking the pipe. We run the camera through again to check it's clear.
