Melbourne’s No. 1 emergency plumber for blocked drains and leaking toilets.

At Modern Plumbing Group, we understand that a leaking toilet or a blocked drain is something no one wants to experience. Our blocked drain services in Melbourne are designed to address these issues promptly, ensuring your plumbing system is back to normal in no time.

A blocked toilet can cause water to not flow properly, often leading to flooding on your bathroom floor. Our team specialises in efficiently clearing these blockages, preventing further damage and inconvenience. Whether you’re dealing with a toilet leak or a stubborn blockage, we have the expertise to provide reliable solutions.

Common Blocked Drain Issues
and How We Fix Them

Toilet Water Not Going Down Fast Enough

A blocked toilet drain can cause water to drain slowly, indicating an obstruction deep within the pipes. Using advanced tools, we locate and remove these blockages, restoring proper water flow and preventing further complications that could lead to more serious plumbing issues.

Puddles on the Floor

A leaking toilet often results in water pooling around the base, signalling a problem with the seal or internal components. With our blocked drain services in Melbourne, we quickly identify the source of the leak, repairs the issue, and ensures your bathroom remains dry and free from potential water damage.

Non-Flushable Material Blockages

Non-flushable materials like excess toilet paper, wipes, or solid items can cause stubborn blockages in your toilet drain. It’s often difficult to pinpoint exactly where these materials are stuck, so we use advanced tools and techniques to thoroughly clear the blockage, ensuring your plumbing system stays clear and functional.

Electric hot water system

Are you looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution? Our electric hot water systems are designed to deliver consistently hot water without breaking the bank. These systems utilise electricity to heat the water, ensuring a steady supply for all your daily activities.

Gas hot water system

If energy efficiency and instant hot water are your priorities, our gas hot water systems are the way to go. These systems use natural gas or LPG to deliver fast and continuous hot water whenever needed. Not only will you enjoy the convenience of on-demand hot water, but you’ll also experience savings on your energy bills.

Solar hot water system

Are you passionate about sustainability and reducing your environmental impact? Our solar hot water systems harness the sun’s power to provide abundant hot water while significantly reducing your carbon footprint. These systems offer eco-friendliness and long-term energy bills savings by capturing and converting solar energy into heat.

Signs You Need Professional Blocked Drain Services

Slow Drainage

If your sink, shower, or toilet is draining slowly, it’s a clear indication of a blockage in the system that requires professional attention. Our blocked drain services in Melbourne utilise advanced techniques to locate and remove the obstruction, ensuring your plumbing operates smoothly and preventing potential water damage.

Unpleasant Odours

Persistent foul odours emanating from your drains or toilets are often a sign of a blockage or buildup within the pipes. These smells can indicate trapped debris or stagnant water. Our plumbers in Melbourne for blocked drains quickly identifies the source of the odour, removes the blockage, and ensures your home remains fresh and free from unpleasant smells.

Gurgling Sounds

Strange gurgling noises coming from your drains or toilet are a clear sign of air trapped in the pipes, usually due to a blockage. This can lead to more serious plumbing issues if not addressed. We use professional techniques to clear the blockage, eliminate the noise, and restore your plumbing to its optimal function.

What our clients
say about us

Very efficient, turned up on time. Very friendly and easy to talk to. They could have added additional for something I didn’t need but was mentioned on the quote as a possibility. Went through the process in a very professional manner. Most importantly for us, they approached the job with a can do attitude. Would definitely recommend!

Taylor was brilliant with our roof leak repair (Sunshine North) - super friendly, no hidden costs, upfront about what was involved and great with advice and next steps. Quick to attend and fix the issue, it's a big relief to have the repair done. Thanks so much for your help!

I had Modern Plumbing Group come out and put a pressure limiting valve on my property in Maribyrnong. They had to dig a hole in the front yard to complete the work. Once they finished the work they replaced the soil and you couldn't even tell that there was a hole made. They were very clean and professional and Taylor was very helpful with a few other plumbing issues we needed to discuss . I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a plumber and will absolutely use them again.

Modern plumbing come around to do the plumbing for my outdoor kitchen and re-plumb my water tank and upgrade the pump.
All the work done by Rhys ,James and Tyler was done in a tradesman like manner, and to a very high standard and the quoting was very fair, the guys were very easy to deal with and nothing was a problem, they come on time and everything was left tidy.
Michelle in the office was great , she is very efficient, and everything was organised promptly & professionally.
All in all Modern plumbing was fantastic, highly recommended.

They offered a cost-effective solution without cutting corners, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. We’re really happy with the result and the quality of their work.

Had a sewer blockage at my rental, and the team was great from start to finish. Nathaniel came out the next day, spent hours fixing it, and explained everything clearly, which really put me at ease. Michelle was a legend — she contacted Greater Western Water on our behalf without me even asking. Tyler also came out, wrote up a report, and didn’t charge for it. I was kept in the loop the whole way through, and they genuinely cared about getting it sorted properly. Super professional, easy to deal with, and I’d definitely use them again. As a landlord, it’s a huge relief knowing you’ve got a team you can trust to handle these things without the runaround.

In August 2025 I had a leak in the fire service to my warehouse in Tullamarine. My plumber was unavailable but recommended Modern Plumbing. Within a day of my phone call they had excavated the area, repaired the pipe and restored the garden area. I can highly recommend Modern Plumbing.

We had a storm water drain that was filling up fast and a pump that was not working normally. We called Tyler and he came out and assessed the problem. He and his colleague came out the next day and they pumped out the water, assessed the issue and resolved it. Great customer service, professional workmanship and competitive pricing.
We highly recommend Tyler and his crew at Modern Plumbing Group and will definitely get them back if we have a need.

Thanks Team!

I hired Mordern plumbing group from a recommendation and only realised they’re not local afterwards. Despite a fair bit of drive, Tyler was happy to come out to give me a quote and tried his best to organise his team to work around my tight schedule.
They’re very responsive and prompt. I highly recommend their services.
