Blocked Drain Clearing

We safely clear blockages in residential and commercial drains using advanced tools and proven methods.

Hydro Jet Drain Clearing

Our plumbers use hydro jet drain clearing to remove grease, silt and tree roots from sewer and stormwater pipes without harming the line. This method restores full flow and prevents recurring blockages.

CCTV Drain Inspections

Prime Plumbing provides CCTV drain inspections in Melbourne to locate hidden blockages, structural damage or tree root entry. We use drain cameras to record diagnostic footage, helping you plan future repairs with confidence.

Tree Root Drain Removal

We remove tree roots from drains and restore proper water flow. If roots have caused pipe deformation, we can advise long-term repair options that prevent the issue from returning.
