Our Drain Services
CCTV Drain Camera
A CCTV drain camera inspection takes the guesswork out of diagnosis. Using a specialised camera attached to a flexible hose — known as a "snake" — our plumbers look deep inside sewer and drain lines to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem, whether it's tree roots, sludge, grease build-up, a collapsed section, or a foreign object.
Camera inspections save you time and money by identifying the issue accurately before we recommend the most effective repair or clearing method. We show you the footage in real time so you know exactly what's in your pipes and can make an informed decision on the best course of action.

Electric Drain Cleaner
An electric drain cleaning machine — sometimes called an "electric eel" — is the fast and effective solution for most household blockages. The motorised rotating cable cuts through common obstructions like grease, soap scum, hair, and accumulated debris, restoring flow quickly and without the need for harsh chemicals.
Our plumbers are equipped with professional-grade electric drain machines suitable for a wide range of drain sizes — from kitchen sinks and bathroom drains to laundry tubs and floor waste outlets. Most blockages are cleared on the spot on the first visit.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jet drain cleaning is the most powerful solution available. Using a high-pressure water jet, we blast away even the most tenacious blockages — including tree roots, hardened grease, and heavy scale build-up — all without the need to excavate. Hydro jetting doesn't just clear a blockage; it scrubs the entire internal wall of the pipe.
Tree roots are the most common culprit in sewer line blockages, and roots can find their way in from up to 15 metres away. Hydro jetting is a quick, safe, and effective way to remove them while rejuvenating your sewer line. Our insured, licensed plumbers have served Melbourne for over 10 years and guarantee your satisfaction.

Outdoor Drain Excavations
Most drain problems can be addressed using no-dig methods, but some situations — collapsed pipes, severe tree root invasion, heavily corroded old pipework, or poor soil conditions causing pipe movement — require excavation to properly repair or replace the affected section. Plumb Medic performs these works efficiently with minimal disruption to your property.
We use hydro-vacuum excavation where possible to safely expose your pipeline without damaging surrounding infrastructure. All excavation work is completed to code, and we have the licences, experience, and equipment to get it done right. Reinstatement of your yard or paved surfaces is included on completion.

Storm Water & Sewer
Stormwater drains and sewer lines require specialist knowledge beyond standard drain clearing. Plumb Medic provides a full stormwater and sewer service — pit clean-outs, pipe relining, root removal, repair of broken or offset pipes from soil movement, and preventative maintenance programs for residential and commercial properties.
Common issues we address include corroded pipework, bellied pipes collecting waste, leaking pipe joints allowing water into surrounding soil, tree root invasion, and off-grade pipes made from deteriorating materials. We also install new sewer systems and stormwater infrastructure for extensions and new builds across metro Melbourne.
