Plumber working on a pipe with a spanner

Blocked drains in PerthBlocked drains cleared, and the cause shown to you on camera.

I’m Remy Tobin, a licensed plumber (PL11395) and gas fitter (GF17376) based in St James. I handle blocked drains across Perth’s river suburbs, with a fixed price before I start.

The jetter and the drain camera live on the ute, so I find the blockage, clear it and show you the footage before I pack up. Then I'll tell you what caused it, so you're not ringing me again in six months.

What’s included

  • High-pressure jetting to clear the blockage
  • A camera down the line to find the cause
  • The footage shown to you before I leave
  • A straight answer on whether it'll come back

What affects the price

  • Where the blockage is and how far down the line
  • What's causing it: wipes, grease or tree roots
  • Access to the line and its inspection points
  • Whether the pipe needs repairing, not just clearing

Whatever the job, you get the price in writing before I start.

Questions about blocked drains

What usually causes a blocked drain?

Tree roots getting into old pipe joints, wipes and grease building up, or a pipe that's cracked or shifted. The camera shows which one it is, so nobody's guessing.

Will the blockage come back?

That depends on the cause. Once the camera shows what's down there, I'll tell you whether it's a one-off or whether the pipe itself needs fixing.

Can't I just pour drain cleaner down it?

For a slow bathroom sink, maybe. It won't shift tree roots or fix a broken pipe, and if the main line is blocked it won't reach the problem.

Do you cover my suburb?

I'm based in St James and work across Perth's river suburbs: the CBD, the eastern suburbs, most of the southern ones, and across to Nedlands and Cottesloe. The full list is on my home page, and if yours isn't on it, ring anyway.

Can you come out after hours?

Booked work is Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm. After-hours work is by arrangement, so ring and ask.
