A blocked drain in Malvern can strike without warning — one day your sink is draining fine, the next it’s gurgling, slow, or overflowing. From kitchen sinks to stormwater drains, blockages disrupt your daily life and can cause serious property damage if ignored.

When your drains stop flowing, we get them back in action — quickly, cleanly, and affordably.
Why Malvern Homes Experience Drain Blockages
Malvern’s charming tree-lined streets and mix of older homes and renovated properties create unique drainage challenges. Common causes of blocked drains in the area include:
1. Tree Roots Invading Pipes
The leafy suburbs of Malvern and Malvern East are filled with large trees. Over time, their roots seek moisture inside underground pipes, cracking them open and creating stubborn blockages.
2. Ageing Plumbing Infrastructure
Many homes in Malvern still rely on older clay or earthenware pipes. These pipes can shift, break, or collapse, allowing soil and debris to clog the line.
3. Grease, Soap & Hair Buildup
Everyday waste like oils, soap scum, and hair can gradually restrict water flow — especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
4. Stormwater Overflows
During heavy rainfall, debris, leaves, and mud can block outdoor drains and stormwater pits, leading to yard flooding or water pooling around your home.
5. Foreign Objects & Household Waste
Items like wipes, tissues, and sanitary products don’t break down easily. Once flushed, they stick and harden inside pipes, causing full blockages.
How Mr Drains Fixes Blocked Drains in Malvern
We use a proven, non-invasive process that identifies and eliminates the root cause of your blockage — not just the symptoms.
Step 1: CCTV Drain Inspection
Our CCTV drain cameras capture high-resolution footage from inside your pipes, revealing the exact cause of the problem — from tree roots to cracks or collapsed sections.
Step 2: Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
We use high-pressure hydro jetting to clear even the most stubborn blockages. This powerful yet safe method uses pressurised water to flush out debris, roots, and sludge — restoring full flow instantly.
Step 3: Pipe Relining (If Needed)
If your pipes are damaged, we offer trenchless pipe relining. It creates a new internal layer within your existing pipe — no digging, no mess, and long-term protection.
Step 4: Preventative Maintenance
We also provide ongoing drain maintenance plans to help homeowners and businesses avoid future blockages.
