How Often Should You Flush Out Your Drains?
High Pressure Water Jet Drain Cleaning
It works by running a high pressure hose up from the inspection point or boundary trap from the downstream end of the system so that the high pressure water jet is shot upstream against gravity. To be effective and avoid damage, the water pressure needs to be set at a certain temperature appropriate to the age, type and condition of your pipes.
The extreme water pressure pulls the hose along the pipework clearing everything in its path. No residue is left behind. Just squeaky clean pipes as good as new👍
Any dislodged debris is flushed safely back downstream through the already cleared drainage path.
Our ute is fully equipped with the latest high tech equipment, ready to clear lines with pressure up to 4300 PSI(pound per square inch).
Expertise and Specialist Tools & Equipment Is a Winning Combo
We attend every job with our very best equipment. Our powerful cable drum machine and high pressure water jetter have different uses but together with our expertise we have every scenario covered.
Cable Sewer Machine also known as an auger or drain snake can bore through thick matter such as tree roots as well as retrieve or remove objects causing blockages.
Its motorized coil breaks up debris allowing waste water to flow freely again.
But “Snaking a drain” as this is called, is NOT a cleaning process.
Some debris is likely to remain and the drain or pipe could very easily become blocked again before too long.

Our Process
Inspect Layout of Your Drain System
As professionals, before commencing any cleaning works we first map out layout of drains on the property with our sophisticated video imaging equipment.
Clearing any drain without a proper inspection first nearly always costs more in the end. Without this crucial step you could find yourself forking out multiple times when your drain keeps blocking up repeatedly because of the same issue which was not detected.
Of course it’s also really important where possible to diagnose any issues before they can become major problems at risk of causing serious and expensive damage to your property. Nobody wants to experience sewage everywhere, imagine the stench! It’s a memory you will find hard to “unsee”.
A closed circuit camera can analyze the entire drainage system checking for cracked or damaged pipes and their exact location. If there is damage we’re able to determine the extent of it and it’s precise location in order to give you an accurate cost.
To Avoid an Emergency Invest in Regularly Cleaning Out Smelly Drains.
Whilst we are available with fast response time outside of regular business hours to suburbs in Melbourne’s North & North East we do strongly recommend that if you have old drains or even just slow drains on your property to book a clean and assessment.
Repairing and Maintaining Healthy Drains
Sometimes all that’s needed is a more regular clean out of your drains to prevent more frequent blockages and further damage. You may still need to do repairs eventually but this is a cost effective way to prolong the health of older drains perhaps until your budget can accommodate the repairs.
If you have a recurring blockage it’s a good idea to book in a regular clean at least once a year.

How Much Does it Cost to Clean Out a Drain?
No plumber can provide an accurate quote without first inspecting your property. Usually you will pay a callout fee which covers the first hour of works required. Most plumbers then charge an hourly rate thereafter but until an initial onsite assessment has been conducted any cost estimates are unreliable. Nobody can see underground!
Whilst some jobs are straightforward and can be completed within 1-2 hours others will require half a day to a full 2 days of work.
Do Not be Fooled by Cheap $70 Offers for Drain Cleaning
If you’re after a professional who will do a quality job and give you honest sound advice.
Cheap does not equal wise!!
Not when it comes to the health of your drainage system and pipes! A rock bottom call out fee is often a smoke screen for unnecessary repairs or replacement pipes which will cost you no short of an arm and a leg.

Upfront Affordable Pricing. No Hidden Costs.
At SS Plumbing & Draincare we stand behind our impeccable reputation of honesty & integrity. Whilst some of our competitors will charge a very low callout fee they often do not have the necessary equipment to do an efficient diagnosis.
The problem therefore just comes back and you, the customer end up paying twice. Or worse, paying for repairs to your damaged property because the problem was worse the second time around. All of which could have been avoided if the job was done properly in the first place.
