Blocked Drains Dandenong
Our workshop is at 1/47 Dingley Avenue, Dandenong, so when a drain backs up in Dandenong, ours is one of the shortest van runs we make all week. That closeness is the whole point of this page. Around Town Plumbing clears blocked drains in Dandenong the proper way: a CCTV camera down the line to find the real cause, high-pressure water jetting to cut it out, then a second camera pass so you can watch the pipe run clear. We have done this from our Dandenong base since 2007. For a same-day booking within business hours, call 03 7023 5494 and we will give you a free quote with a fixed price agreed before anyone lifts a lid.
Around Town Plumbing, Based In Dandenong
We are a family business run by brothers Aidan and Liam Baggoley, and Dandenong is not a service-area line on a map for us: it is home. Every job we do here carries our 100% workmanship guarantee for seven years, our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, and our customers rate us a straight 5.0 across 42 reviews. The fuller list of accreditations, the licence number, our Master Plumbers membership and the rest, sits on our main blocked-drains page. What matters locally is simpler: we are ten minutes from most Dandenong addresses, and the depot proximity is what makes same-day drain response real rather than a slogan.

How we clear a blocked drain in Dandenong
The cause decides the fix, so we look before we clear. First the CCTV camera goes down the line and shows us exactly what we are dealing with and how far along it sits: roots, grease, a foreign object, or a broken section of pipe. Then we jet the blockage under high pressure, which scours the pipe wall clean rather than poking a hole through the middle of the problem. Finally we re-camera the line so you can see it running clear for yourself. If the footage shows a cracked or collapsed pipe that jetting cannot mend, we tell you plainly and quote the repair. We do drain and pipe repair; we will not clear it, take your money and leave you to call us again in a fortnight.
What blocks drains around Dandenong
Most blockages give you warning first: a slow sink, a gurgling toilet, a bad smell near an outside drain, or water pooling around a pit after rain. When more than one fixture plays up at once, the trouble is usually in the shared line, and that is a camera job. Around here the usual causes are:
- Tree roots working into the joints of older clay pipes, common in Dandenong’s established streets
- Leaves and silt washed into stormwater pits during spring storms, which the council itself flags as a heavy-rainfall problem locally
- Fat, grease and food waste setting hard in kitchen lines
- Overflow-relief gullies and sewer lines choking on build-up
- Cracked or sagging pipes in older properties
Sewer or stormwater, and who is responsible
Two separate systems fail in two different ways, and knowing which one is blocked decides who pays. As the property owner, you are responsible for the drains on your land, including the sewer lateral that carries waste from the house out to the connection point. Past that connection, the sewer main belongs to South East Water. Public stormwater drains in the street sit with the council and Melbourne Water; Greater Dandenong notes its stormwater system is managed jointly between the council and Melbourne Water. If you are not sure which side of the boundary a blockage sits on, the camera settles it, and that answer can matter for the bill. For a public stormwater drain overflowing in the street, the council is your first call; for anything on your own property, call us.
Same-day response
A backed-up sewer is not something to sit on overnight. We run same-day response for blocked drains within business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, off a fleet of ten fully stocked vans out of the Dandenong depot. We will be straight with you: we are not a 24-hour call centre, and we would rather say so than dress one up as an always-open promise. When you ring, you get a real local plumber.
Commercial, strata and owners corporation drains
A blocked drain in a Dandenong strata block, owners corporation property or commercial site is never just one resident’s problem, and it needs coordinated action fast. This is the work we have built our name on since 2007. We arrive the same day, diagnose the shared line on camera, and clear it with as little disruption to tenants and trading as possible, working the timing and access in with the property manager and reporting back on what we found. Plenty of Dandenong property managers keep us on file for exactly that reason.
What does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any plumber quoting a flat figure down the phone without seeing the line is guessing. Cost turns on how severe the blockage is, how far down it sits, how easy the drain is to reach, and whether the camera turns up damage that needs repair. Rather than publish a price list that would not survive contact with your actual pipe, we give you a free quote and a fixed, upfront price agreed before any work starts. No surprise call-out charge, no scope creep once we are on site.

Blocked Drain FAQs
Are you actually based in Dandenong?
Yes. Our workshop and fleet are at 1/47 Dingley Avenue, Dandenong, which is why we can usually reach a local drain the same day within business hours.
Who do I call about a blocked stormwater drain in my street?
If the blocked drain is a public one in the road or nature strip, that is the council and Melbourne Water’s patch, so start with Greater Dandenong. If it is a drain or pit on your own property, that is us.
How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?
Most straightforward blockages are cleared in the one visit once we have diagnosed and jetted the line. Root intrusion or a damaged pipe can take longer, and we will tell you that upfront rather than after.
