Free Blocked Drain Service?* Sounds Too Good to Be True
When you hear the words free blocked drain, it’s easy to be sceptical. But with the right licensed plumbing business, like Jet Plus Plumbing, this can be possible. It depends on where the blockage is and who is responsible.
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing emergencies we attend across Melbourne. If your sinks drain slowly, toilets back up, or there are bad smells, it may be time to call a professional plumber.
Where the Blockage Happens Matters
If you have a big sewer blockage just outside your property line, you might be able to get reimbursed. This is true even if the blockage is still your responsibility. There is a process to follow with your local water authority.
This often applies in outer Melbourne suburbs where sewer mains can back up just outside your fence line, yet still affect your private pipework.

What We Do as Licensed Plumbers
When we find a qualifying blockage, here’s how we help:
- We notify the local water authority (such as South East Water or Yarra Valley Water)
- A unique reference number is created for your address
- You pay us for the initial blocked drain service
- We provide detailed paperwork and evidence
- You submit a reimbursement form to the water authority and may receive a refund, sometimes several hundred dollars.
This process only works if everything is properly documented, and only a licensed plumber can lodge the initial report.
Why It’s Important to Use the Right Business
Not every plumber understands this reimbursement system or takes the time to handle it correctly.
At Jet Plus Plumbing, we specialize in blocked drains and understand how to work with Melbourne’s water authorities. Our experience ensures that you seize the chance to claim money back and that you clear your drain the right way.
