    The Problem

    A Blocked Drain Doesn't Get Better on Its Own. It Gets Worse.

    It starts with the shower draining a little slower than usual. Then the kitchen sink takes forever to empty. Before you know it, the toilet's backing up, there's a foul smell coming from the bathroom, and you're dealing with water pooling in places it shouldn't be.

    A blocked drain isn't just disgusting - it's a health hazard and a ticking time bomb for water damage.

    But here's what makes it worse. You call a plumber, and they show up with a plunger and a $300 bill. They "clear" the blockage, tell you it's sorted, and drive off. Two weeks later, the same drain is blocked again - because they never found out why it was blocked in the first place.

    Tree roots growing into cracked clay pipes, fat buildup in old cast-iron drains, collapsed sections you can't even see - these problems need a camera, not a guess. And most plumbers don't bother.

    Meanwhile, you're left mopping up sewage, worrying about the cost, and wondering if the next plumber will be any different.

    The Solution

    We Don't Guess. We See the Blockage, Clear It & Prove It's Gone.

    At Hobsons Bay Plumbing, every drain job starts the same way - with a high-definition CCTV camera down the pipe. We show you the live footage on a screen so you can see exactly what's causing the problem.

    Then we clear it properly with high-pressure hydro-jetting - not a plunger and a prayer. Tree roots, grease, debris, collapsed sections - we deal with it all, and we run the camera through again afterwards so you can see the pipe is completely clear.

    You get a fixed price before we start, and you only pay when the job is done right.

    CCTV Camera on Every Job

    We find the real cause - tree roots, cracks, collapses, fat buildup, so it doesn't come back.

    Hydro-Jet Clearing

    4,000 PSI water jet that cuts through roots and blasts grease out of the line. No chemicals, no guesswork.

    Upfront Fixed Pricing

    You'll know the exact cost before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees.

    Local Experts, Not a Call Centre

    Our Technology

    Why a Camera Makes All the Difference.

    Most blocked drain callouts end with a plumber poking around with a rod, charging you $200, and telling you it's "probably tree roots." You'll never know for sure, and when it blocks again next month, you'll be right back where you started.

    We do it differently. Our CCTV drain cameras let us see inside the pipe in real time - cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, grease buildup, foreign objects. You see it on screen with us.

    Once we know exactly what we're dealing with, we give you a fixed-price quote to clear and repair it properly. No surprises, no "unforeseen complications" added to the bill afterwards. And we run the camera through again after the job to prove the line is clear.

    For serious blockages, we use high-pressure hydro-jetting at up to 4,000 PSI - powerful enough to cut through tree roots and blast decades of grease out of old pipes. For damaged pipes, we offer no-dig pipe relining that avoids digging up your driveway or garden.

    Blocked Toilet Clearing

    Toilet overflowing, backing up, or refusing to flush? Don't keep plunging and hoping for the best. We use CCTV drain cameras to find the exact cause - tree roots, broken pipes, fat buildup or foreign objects, then clear it with high-pressure hydro-jetting. If there's a collapsed pipe or root intrusion further down the sewer line, we'll give you a fixed-price repair quote before we touch anything. Most toilet blockages are cleared within an hour.
