Can a drain camera find what is causing the blockage?
Yes. A CCTV drain camera lets us look inside the line and see what is actually there — roots, a build-up, debris or a damaged section — instead of clearing it blind and hoping.

What Is Involved
Blocked Drains help in Forrestfield
A blocked drain is worth diagnosing before it is attacked. MLC Plumbing checks the affected fixtures, opens the accessible drain points and clears the blockage by the method that suits what is actually in the pipe — then looks at why it happened, because a drain that blocked once will usually block again.
Forrestfield properties can have family bathrooms, outdoor areas, drainage considerations and gas appliances that need licensed attention. A practical inspection helps separate simple fixture faults from issues that need a deeper look. Locally that means larger blocks and established homes can make outdoor leaks, drainage symptoms and fixture wear more varied.
The same job across the rest of the service area is covered on our blocked drains page, including what a visit involves and what it usually costs.
Signs of a blocked drain
- Bad smells around floor wastes, sinks or outdoor gullies
- Waste water appearing at an overflow relief gully outside
- Two or more fixtures in the same room draining slowly
- Water backing up in the laundry when the washing machine empties
What usually causes it
- Grease, soap and food build-up in kitchen waste lines
- Wet wipes, sanitary items or foreign objects flushed into toilets
- Leaves, sand or debris washing into outdoor drains and gullies
- Building rubble or sand left in the line from earlier work

Good to Know
Blocked Drains questions, answered
Should I keep using the drain while it is backing up?
Try not to. Every extra litre has nowhere to go and can push waste water back into the house. Hold off on the washing machine and dishwasher until it has been looked at.
Is a blocked drain urgent?
If waste water is coming back into the house, treat it as urgent and phone rather than book. A single slow sink can usually wait for a booked visit.
Who actually turns up in Forrestfield?
The plumber you spoke to on the phone. MLC Plumbing is not a call centre passing jobs to subcontractors, which is why the price quoted is the price by the person doing the work.
