1. What causes blocked drains in Melbourne homes and businesses?
Blocked drains can result from various factors, including:
- Tree root intrusion (common in Melbourne’s older suburbs)
- Grease, food waste, and oil buildup in kitchen pipes
- Hair and soap scum in bathroom drains
- Foreign objects or sanitary products flushed down toilets
- Broken or collapsed underground pipes
Our CCTV drain inspection cameras can identify the exact cause of the blockage before we clear it.
2. How does Bourke Group clear blocked drains?
We utilise custom-built high-pressure jetter trucks — the most powerful and efficient method for clearing even the toughest blockages.
Our water jetters blast water through the drain at up to 5,000 PSI, breaking down debris, grease, and tree roots without damaging your pipes.
For severe blockages, we also use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe system and confirm that it’s completely cleared.
3. What are custom jetter trucks, and why are they better?
We specifically designed our custom jetter trucks for Melbourne’s drainage systems. They feature:
- High-pressure water jetting systems
- Onboard water storage tanks for large jobs
- CCTV drain inspection units
- Root-cutting attachments
These trucks enable Bourke Group to quickly handle both residential and commercial drain blockages, without the mess or need for excavation.

Yes! Bourke Group provides 24/7 emergency blocked drain services across Melbourne.
Whether it’s a blocked toilet, an overflowing sewer, or a flooded stormwater drain, our team responds quickly — day or night — to restore the flow and prevent property damage.
5. How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
The cost of clearing a blocked drain depends on factors such as:
- Type of drain (sewer, kitchen, stormwater, etc.)
- Severity and location of the blockage
- Accessibility and pipe length
At Bourke Group, we offer upfront pricing before any work begins. Most residential blockages start from $250–$950, with jetter truck services providing the most efficient long-term solution.
6. How can I tell if my drain is blocked?
Common signs of a blocked drain include:
- Gurgling noises from sinks, toilets, or showers
- Slow-draining water or backups
- Unpleasant sewer smells
- Water pooling around drains or outdoor grates
- Toilet water rising or overflowing
If you notice any of these signs, call Bourke Group Melbourne before the issue worsens — early detection prevents costly damage.
7. Can you repair damaged or collapsed drains?
Yes. Suppose our inspection reveals a broken or collapsed drain. In that case, we can perform either no-dig pipe relining or excavation and pipe replacement, depending on the severity of the issue, and permanently repair rather than just temporarily clear it.
8. Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. All Bourke Group plumbers are fully licensed, insured, and trained in the latest drain clearing and jetting technology.
We comply with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) and EPA waste-disposal regulations to ensure a safe, compliant service.
9. How quickly can you attend to a blocked drain?
We offer same-day service across Melbourne and rapid emergency response.
With multiple custom jetter trucks and local teams across the city, we can often be on-site within the hour.
10. Do you provide CCTV drain inspections?
Yes. Our CCTV drain cameras allow us to locate and diagnose problems deep within your pipes.
We can record footage, provide detailed reports, and offer long-term repair solutions to prevent future blockages.

Yes — Bourke Group services homes, businesses, body corporates, and industrial sites throughout Melbourne.
