Professional Blocked Drain Clearing & Preventative Maintenance
A blocked drain is more than a minor inconvenience; it can bring your household or business to a complete standstill, cause foul odours, and lead to significant water damage. Our fully licensed plumbers provide rapid, highly effective clearing and ongoing maintenance to keep your property’s plumbing flowing perfectly.
Rapid Solutions for Stubborn Blockages
Whether you are dealing with a slow-draining shower, a completely backed-up commercial kitchen sink, or a gurgling floor waste, over-the-counter chemicals rarely solve the root cause. In many cases, these harsh liquids sit in your pipes and cause expensive corrosion without ever breaching the actual obstruction.
Mindarie Plumbing & Gas use professional-grade equipment like high-pressure water jetters and mechanical augers to physically remove the blockage rather than just pushing it further down the line. We also provide tailored, routine maintenance schedules to prevent these stressful emergencies from occurring in the first place, ensuring your drains remain clear and fully functional year-round.

As a reticulation contractor, we are always looking for reliable plumbers to work with. We had a client in Burns Beach who noticed water leaking down their driveway while they were overseas on holiday. After seeing it on their CCTV, it became an urgent priority to have it fixed as soon as possible. We were initially called out, as it was assumed to be an issue with the reticulation system. However, upon inspection, we quickly identified a leak in the copper pipe coming off the water meter. We contacted Brett from Mindarie Plumbing and Gas and sent through some photos. Brett was able to provide a prompt estimate and arrange a time to attend the property in Burns Beach. He quickly repaired the leaking copper pipe near the water meter, and upon completion, sent through photos, giving us peace of mind that the issue had been resolved. Outstanding service from a reliable local plumber. We highly recommend Brett and the team at Mindarie Plumbing and Gas for any plumbing work in Burns Beach and surrounding areas.Posted on Google![]()

Always have scrutiny with any trade that you call in an emergency. Absolute gentleman. Charged us reasonably the whole way through. Didn’t ask for a review which means all of his reviews are organic. Probably the first review I’ve gone out of my way to make which speaks volumes about Brett.Posted on Google![]()

Frequently Asked Questions
In residential bathrooms, the most common culprits for recurrent blockages are a heavy buildup of hair, thick soap scum, and oily bath products. Over time, these substances bind together inside the P-trap beneath your shower or basin, forming a dense, sticky mass that severely restricts the flow of wastewater.
While a standard household plunger might temporarily dislodge a small portion of the blockage, it usually leaves the sticky residue clinging to the pipe walls, meaning the drain will inevitably block up again a few weeks later. We use specialised jetting tools to physically extract the entire mass and thoroughly scour the inside of the pipe, restoring your bathroom drainage to full capacity.
We strongly advise against using off-the-shelf, caustic drain cleaning chemicals. While they are marketed as a quick fix, these heavy liquids generate extreme heat as they react with the blockage. In modern homes, this intense chemical reaction can easily warp or completely melt your PVC plumbing, turning a simple clearing job into a major, expensive structural repair.
If the chemical fails to clear the blockage, you are left with a sink or shower full of highly toxic, corrosive standing water that is incredibly dangerous for your family and our plumbers to handle. Professional mechanical clearing or high-pressure water jetting is always the safest, most effective, and environmentally responsible solution for your property.
Hydro-jetting is an advanced plumbing technique that uses a specialised machine to blast water through your pipes at incredibly high pressure (often exceeding 4,000 PSI). We feed a flexible hose with a custom-engineered nozzle down your drain; the nozzle shoots water forwards to punch through the blockage, while reverse jets propel the hose along and scour the pipe walls clean.
Unlike a traditional electric eel or drain snake that just punches a small hole through the obstruction, hydro-jetting completely washes away years of accumulated grease, scale, and compacted sludge. It essentially pressure-washes the inside of your plumbing, leaving your pipes looking and functioning exactly as they did the day they were first installed.
Absolutely. For commercial environments like busy restaurants, cafes, hotels, and strata complexes, a blocked drain is a major health hazard that can force you to close your doors and lose vital revenue. Commercial kitchens, in particular, are highly prone to rapid grease and fat buildup inside their waste lines.
We design and implement custom preventative maintenance schedules tailored to your business's specific operational volume. By having our team come in regularly to hydro-jet your main drainage lines and inspect your grease traps before they completely choke, you eliminate the risk of catastrophic emergency blockages and keep your venue fully compliant with Western Australian health regulations.
Identifying the location of the blockage is crucial for applying the correct fix. If only a single fixture is affected - for example, your kitchen sink will not drain, but your shower and toilets are working perfectly - the obstruction is highly localised and usually located in the immediate trap or branch pipe leading from that specific room.
However, if multiple fixtures are backing up simultaneously, or if you hear loud gurgling noises coming from your shower drain every time you flush the toilet, you have a major blockage deep within your main sewer line. In these serious cases, we utilise advanced CCTV drain cameras to visually inspect the underground pipework, locate the exact point of failure, and clear the line to protect your entire property from overflowing sewage.
