Blocked drains are a common issue across the Fraser Coast, especially in established Hervey Bay suburbs like Scarness, Pialba, Urangan, Torquay, and Point Vernon. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink, a backed-up toilet, or water pooling in your yard, these problems often start small — but left untreated, they can cause major property damage.
At Guaranteed Plumbing, we use high-pressure jet blasting (also known as jetter drain cleaning) to clear blocked drains quickly, safely, and thoroughly. Here’s why it’s the go-to solution for Hervey Bay homes and businesses.
Why Are Blocked Drains So Common in Hervey Bay?
Older suburbs like Scarness and Pialba were built decades ago with pipe systems that simply weren’t designed for today’s volume and variety of household waste. Over time, these underground systems are worn down by:
- Tree root intrusion (especially near mature trees)
- Grease and fat build-up from kitchens
- Sand and debris entering stormwater lines
- Shifting ground causing cracked or misaligned pipes
The sandy coastal soil found throughout Hervey Bay can also lead to stormwater ingress, making these problems worse during heavy rain.
What Is Jet Blasting and Why Is It Better?
Jet blasting uses a high-pressure water stream (up to 5,000 PSI) to cut through blockages inside your pipes — without damaging them. It’s more effective and less invasive than older methods like electric eels or chemical cleaners.
Benefits of Jet Blasting:
- Removes everything: roots, fat, scale, debris
- Non-invasive: no need to dig up pipes
- Longer-lasting results: clears pipe walls, not just the blockage
- Safe for all pipes: including PVC and earthenware
We pair this with a CCTV drain inspection to make sure the problem is fully cleared and nothing is left behind that could trigger a repeat blockage.
