The Blocked Drain Done Right — First Time
We don't guess and we don't upsell. We diagnose the real cause, clear it properly, and tell you the price before we start.
The Owner, Not an Apprentice
Jack personally attends every job — 20+ years on the tools. You get senior expertise, not a trainee learning on your drain.
We Diagnose, Then Clear
High-resolution CCTV finds the exact cause — roots, grease, a collapsed pipe — so we fix the problem, not just the symptom.
5000 PSI Hydro Jetting
Industrial jetters cut through tree roots, grease and sludge to restore full flow — no dig-up, longer-lasting result.
Upfront Pricing
A free over-the-phone assessment and a clear quote before any work begins. The price we say is the price you pay.
Same-Day Response
Most South East jobs attended the same day — often within hours. Emergencies answered 24/7 by Jack.
Guaranteed Work
Insured and BPC registered. If a blockage returns in the same spot, we come back and investigate.
Why "$99" & "Free Call-Out" Plumbers Cost You More
A $0 or $99 call-out fee gets you in the door — but it's how the job is priced after they arrive that empties your wallet. Here's what those headline offers usually hide.
The "$99 / $0 Call-Out" Trap
What the cheap ad really means- The "free" call-out vanishes the moment work starts — you're billed a high hourly rate from minute one
- Inflated quotes once they're on-site and you feel committed
- Pressure to approve expensive "extras" you may not need
- Rushed jobs that clear the surface but leave the real cause — so it blocks again in weeks
- Often a call-centre booking, then a different (sometimes junior) plumber turns up
- After-hours and weekend loadings buried in the fine print
- No CCTV diagnosis — they snake it, take the cash, and you never learn what caused it
The Water Serpent Way
Honest from the first phone call- Free, honest assessment over the phone before anyone is dispatched
- A clear, upfront quote — you approve the price before we lift a tool
- Jack does the work himself: 20+ years, no upsell scripts
- CCTV diagnosis so we fix the actual cause, not just the symptom
- 5000 PSI hydro jetting for a result that lasts, not a quick poke
- We are the best in the industry — and we back it
- You always know who's turning up and what it costs
Always ask one question before you book anyone: "Is the call-out fee included, or charged separately — and what's the total to clear my drain?"
With Water Serpent, you get that answer up front, for free.

What Melbourne Customers Say
Real, verified Google reviews from customers across Melbourne's South East. Jack personally attends every job.
"Had a couple of blocked drains, nothing would clear them. Our usual plumber was unavailable so I rang Jack. He was here in a flash and fixed the blockages just as quick — no digging, no tears. Also checked the rest of our drains. Great guy, amazing gear and our new first call plumber."
"Jack is fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. He was very communicative throughout and quickly unblocked our overflow relief gully drains with no issues. His approach was professional and the pricing was fair."
"Needed my stormwater drains inspected before a concrete pour. Jack fit me in quickly and even came out at the last minute when the pour time changed. He communicated everything clearly. Highly recommend."
