Blocked Drain? We Can Help
Whether it’s a blocked kitchen sink, rising toilet water or a shower that won’t drain, H2PRO Plumbing can get things flowing again. We understand a blocked drain can’t always wait, so we offer same-day service across Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.
We clear blocked drains across Croydon, Doncaster, Ringwood, Box Hill and Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs. From everyday household blockages to tree roots causing problems in your pipes, we use professional high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain cameras where required to clear the blockage, find the cause and recommend the right solution – not just provide a temporary fix.
We also help with overflowing sewers and blocked stormwater drains, using the right equipment to diagnose and clear the problem.
What’s Blocked?
We clear all types of household and drainage blockages, including:
Sink is draining slowly?
Kitchen sinks can become restricted by grease, food and buildup, while bathroom sinks are often affected by hair and soap. A slow sink can be an early warning of a bigger blockage.
Shower wont drain?
A slow or completely blocked shower is often caused by hair, soap and buildup. We can clear the blockage and check whether there’s a bigger issue further down the pipe.
Toilet is backing up
Rising water, slow flushing or a toilet that keeps blocking can indicate a blockage in the toilet or further along the sewer line. We’ll locate the problem and get things flowing again.
Sewer is overflowing outside?
An overflowing sewer drain needs attention quickly. Blockages, tree roots or damaged pipes can restrict the flow and cause wastewater to back up outside your home.
Gurgling drains?
Gurgling from a sink, toilet or shower can mean air and water aren’t moving freely through the pipe. It can be an early warning that a blockage is developing.
Drain pits are overflowing?
An overflowing drain pit can be caused by leaves, debris, tree roots or a blockage further along the drainage system. We can clear the blockage and investigate why the water isn’t draining away.
If your drain is slow, backing up or overflowing, it rarely clears itself. Getting it checked early can help prevent a bigger and more expensive problem.

How We Clear Your Blocked Drain

Buying or Renovating?
A CCTV drain inspection can help you understand what’s happening beneath your property before you renovate, landscape or build.
We can identify:
- Existing blockages or restrictions
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracked or damaged pipes
- Collapsed sections of pipe
- The location of sewer and stormwater lines
Finding a drainage problem before your renovation can help avoid expensive surprises later — particularly where access to underground pipes will become restricted.

Frequently asked questions – Eltham Plumbing
What are the signs I have a blocked drain?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets or pipes, unpleasant smells, water backing up, overflowing drains or stormwater pits, and toilets that are slow to flush.
Getting the problem looked at early can help prevent a more serious drainage issue.
What causes blocked drains?
Blocked drains can be caused by tree roots, grease and food waste, hair and soap build-up, foreign objects, wet wipes, damaged pipes and stormwater debris such as leaves and dirt.
If a blockage keeps returning, there may be an underlying problem that needs to be identified.
Do you use CCTV cameras when clearing blocked drains?
Where required, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect inside your pipes, locate the cause of the blockage and check the condition of the drainage system.
If we find tree roots, damaged pipework or another issue, we can show you the
Can you clear my blocked drain without digging?
In many cases, yes. We use professional drain cleaning equipment, including high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain cameras, to clear blockages without unnecessary excavation.
If we identify damaged or collapsed pipes, we’ll explain the issue and discuss the appropriate repair options.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages can be a sign of a bigger problem rather than a one-off obstruction.
Tree roots, damaged pipes, grease build-up, foreign objects and other drainage issues can all cause recurring blockages. CCTV inspection can help identify the cause so you’re not simply clearing the same blockage again and again.
Can tree roots cause blocked drains?
Yes. Tree roots are a common cause of recurring sewer blockages, particularly around established homes with older underground drainage systems.
Roots can enter small cracks or joins in pipes and continue growing, restricting water flow and causing repeated blockages.
A CCTV drain inspection can locate root intrusion and assess the condition of the pipework.
Should I use an over-the-counter drain cleaner?
Chemical drain cleaners may help with a minor slow drain, but they may only provide a temporary solution.
If the blockage is caused by tree roots, damaged pipes, grease build-up or a deeper obstruction, a drain cleaner won’t address the underlying problem.
If your drain keeps slowing down or blocking again, it’s worth having the cause properly identified.
Are flushable wipes safe to flush?
Despite the name, many “flushable” wipes don’t break down like toilet paper and can contribute to sewer blockages.
Wet wipes, paper towels, sanitary products and other foreign objects can become trapped inside pipes, causing slow drainage, recurring blockages and potential damage to your plumbing system.

At H2PRO Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing before work begins, so you know what the job will cost before we proceed.

What our customers say
Jayden and Riley originally came to sort an issue with blocked drains under my concrete driveway. They were prompt, efficient, professional in every way and always patiently explained every step. When the source of the issue was discovered they proceeded to diligently sort a solution. They worked efficiently, going above and beyond expectations, and completely cleaned up when the job was fineished. Now 12 months lager Jaydan returned to complete my annual check u, performing camera inspection of works previously done. He found grasses and roots that had to be removed. He clearly explained it all as I watched it on a screen. I have no hesitation in recommending H2pro to anyone needing a plumber in the Eltham area. Definitely five stars!!
