Blocked Drain Unblocking
Our specialist drain unblocking service addresses commercial and industrial blockages using high-pressure water jets and advanced rodding equipment. With 70 years of Melbourne-specific expertise, we resolve urgent drainage issues that threaten business operations. Our rapid response team typically arrives within hours to restore functionality and prevent revenue loss from flooding.
CCTV Inspections
CCTV drain inspections provide precise diagnostics of underground pipe conditions. Our vehicles carry onboard camera systems that identify blockages, cracks, and root intrusions without excavation. This technology enables targeted repairs and helps clients understand their drainage system's health while avoiding unnecessary disruption.
Pipe Lining
Pipe lining offers a permanent, trenchless solution for damaged sewer and stormwater pipes. Using cured-in-place pipe technology, we install epoxy liners that restore pipe integrity without excavation. This method reduces costs and downtime while creating a durable, jointless replacement pipe stronger than the original.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing identifies leaks and defects in underground drainage systems using non-toxic smoke under pressure. This effective method reveals cracks, broken joints, and improper connections that could cause water intrusion or environmental contamination. The process helps prioritise maintenance and prevent costly failures.
Root Foaming
Root foaming manages tree root intrusion in sewer pipes using targeted herbicide application. This preventative treatment eliminates existing roots without harming trees while protecting pipes from future damage. Regular applications help maintain clear drains and avoid expensive pipe replacement caused by root-related cracks.

Thank you Drain King! The tech that helped us did an amazing job with our disgusting plumbing issue. He completed the job in about an hour and thoroughly made sure everything was working properly before he left. Decent price, decent response time from initial call to service appt - ours was a little over 24 hours from my phone call to tech arriving.

Being a new homeowner can be very stressful and scary especially when something bad happens like your sink backing up! Spent hours trying to fix and finally called drain king. They were out within the hour and had the problem solved even faster! Definitely highly recommend! Very reasonable priced!

I used Drain King for our rental properties.I highly recommend them. When called for the Robinsdale property that we managed they were there within an hour, solved the issue and added a lint trap on the wash tub to keep the problem from happening again. They offer a rental property maintenance plans so be sure to ask them about that.

Out of "nowhere" our main drain line leading from the house to our septic was clogged. My husband tried valiantly to fix it himself only to finally give up and call Drain King. The next morning Austin from Drain King showed up like a rockstar. Told us not to worry that he would get this work done correctly and at the most efficient cost as possible. 45 minutes later... success! It was a three foot ice dam. Drain King was amazing and did NOT drain our pockets. Thank you Austin! It's great to have what one thinks of simple creature comforts...able to flush!

I was in a jamb and needed a camera to find out if I had a broken sewer pipe after a plumber thought he cleared it. Hadn't been able to use water for a week. Despite a massive snowstorm they got out to me to confirm that the pipe was clear and wasn't a broken pipe but tree roots. They even gave me a discount after hearing I had spent $800 on two different companies with the first company trying to say I had roots but need to pay $5,000 to excavate the pipe as it was impossible to cut through. The second company cut through it but thought it was a cracked pipe. Drain King said it wasn't needing
