Kitchen Sink and Laundry Blockages Melbourne
Kitchen sink or laundry draining slowly or not at all? Plumb Melbourne clears blocked kitchen sinks, laundry troughs and washing machine drains across south-east Melbourne, and finds out why they blocked so it doesn't keep happening.
Kitchen and laundry blockages usually build up over time. Grease and food scraps coat the inside of the pipe, and lint, hair and detergent residue do the same in laundries. Left alone, the build-up narrows the pipe until the water stops draining, and it can start to smell.
Our licensed plumbers clear the blockage with a drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, depending on what is in the pipe. If a sink or laundry keeps blocking, we can inspect the drain with a CCTV camera to check for a damaged pipe, tree roots or a build-up further down the line. We tell you what we found and whether further work is needed.
We service homes, rentals, strata properties, and commercial sites. We service Glen Iris, Camberwell, Malvern, Toorak, Caulfield, Carnegie, Bentleigh, Brighton and surrounding inner east and south-east Melbourne suburbs.

When you need to call a plumber
Kitchen sink draining slowly or not at all
We clear the blockage with a drain snake or high-pressure jetting and check the water drains freely.
Laundry trough or washing machine drain backing up
We clear the laundry drain and check the washing machine outlet is draining without backing up.
Bad smell coming from the sink drain
We remove the build-up causing the smell, rather than covering it up.
Gurgling when the sink or washing machine empties
We check whether the problem is in that fixture's own pipe or further down the drain.
Sink that blocks again soon after being cleared
Where a sink keeps blocking, we inspect the pipe by camera and tell you what we find.
Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking?
Kitchen sinks usually block because grease, fat and food scraps cool and stick to the inside of the pipe. Pouring fat down the sink, or washing food scraps and coffee grounds through it, makes it worse. Chemical drain cleaners rarely clear a built-up blockage and can damage pipes. If your sink keeps blocking after it has been cleared, there may be a build-up, a damaged pipe or tree roots further down the line, and a camera inspection will show what is causing it.
