Tidy, respectful tradespeople
A sink that won't empty or a toilet that gurgles is annoying. But a blocked drain is also a sign that something is going on in your pipes, and if it isn't dealt with properly, it usually comes back.
Your Plumbing Pros clears blocked drains across Perth and, more importantly, finds out why they blocked in the first place. That way you're not paying for the same problem over and over.
If more than one fixture is affected, the blockage is probably further down the line in your main sewer pipe. That needs attention sooner rather than later.
Tree roots are the big one, especially in older suburbs with clay sewer pipes. Roots find tiny gaps at pipe joints and grow inside, catching everything that flows past.
Grease and fat poured down the kitchen sink cools and hardens inside pipes, slowly narrowing them.
Wipes and sanitary products don't break down like toilet paper. Even "flushable" wipes cause many toilet blockages.
Hair and soap scum build up in shower and bathroom drains.
Sand and soil can get into outdoor and stormwater drains, especially after heavy rain or garden work.
Broken or sagging pipes can trap waste where the pipe has shifted or cracked.
We choose the clearing method based on what's causing the blockage and the type of pipe you have.
The camera is the real game changer. Instead of guessing, we can show you what's going on in your pipes and recommend the right fix.
Call 08 6118 4273 or send a quick message with your suburb and what's happening.
If a pipe is cracked, collapsed or full of roots at a broken joint, clearing will help in the short term, but the problem will return.
In that case, we'll show you the camera footage, explain your repair options and give you a clear quote. Often only a short section of pipe needs repairing rather than the entire line.
Commercial kitchens, shopping centres, strata buildings and offices all put heavy demand on their drains. Grease, high usage and shared lines make blockages more likely.
We clear commercial drains, investigate repeat problems and can set up regular maintenance for sites that need it.
Many established suburbs across Perth were built with clay sewer pipes joined in short sections. Over decades, ground movement and age open up small gaps at the joints. Roots from nearby trees and shrubs are drawn to the moisture and nutrients and work their way inside.
Once inside, roots grow quickly, forming a net that catches toilet paper and waste. Clearing them restores flow, but if the joint stays open, they'll grow back. A camera inspection tells us whether a long-term repair is the better investment.
Stormwater drains carry rain from your roof and paving away from your home. When they're blocked with leaves, sand or roots, water can pool against walls, flood courtyards or overflow gutters.
Clearing and checking stormwater drains before winter is a simple way to avoid water problems when the heavy rain arrives.

Recurring blockages are usually caused by tree roots, grease build-up or a damaged pipe. A drain camera inspection shows the real cause so it can be fixed properly.
We feed a small waterproof camera into your pipes to see inside. It shows blockages, roots, cracks and sags, and tells us exactly where the problem is.
For most pipes in reasonable condition, yes. We check the pipe type and condition first and choose the right method for your system.
We don't recommend harsh chemical cleaners. They rarely clear serious blockages and can damage some pipes and fittings.
No. Most wipes don't break down quickly and are a common cause of toilet and sewer blockages. Bin them instead.
It usually means there's a blockage in your sewer line further down. Avoid using water inside and call us to clear it.
Yes. We clear blocked stormwater drains, downpipes and pits, which is especially important before the winter rains.
