Blocked drains are one of the most common (and frustrating) plumbing issues across the Fraser Coast—and in Maryborough, the problem is often tied to the age of the infrastructure. Suburbs like Tinana, Granville, Aldershot, and Baddow still rely on older pipework that’s especially vulnerable to tree root intrusion, cracked sections, and collapsed lines.
At Guaranteed Plumbing, we’ve been helping Maryborough locals solve stubborn drain issues for over 16 years. Our approach combines high-pressure jet blasting with CCTV inspections to not only clear the blockage, but also uncover the real cause.
Why Blocked Drains Are So Common in Maryborough
Unlike newer developments, many homes in Maryborough still have:
- Earthenware or clay pipes that are prone to cracking
- Mature trees with aggressive root systems
- Ground movement that misaligns or collapses sections over time
Once a crack forms, roots enter fast—growing inside the pipe, trapping debris, and eventually blocking the flow entirely. Add seasonal rain, and those drains overflow quickly.
The Problem With Short-Term Fixes
Plunging, rodding, or pouring chemicals down the drain might offer short-term relief—but if roots or structural damage are the cause, the blockage will return. Often within weeks.
That’s why so many Fraser Coast homeowners call us after the second or third visit from someone else.
Our Proven Drain Clearing Process
We use a two-part approach that solves the issue properly:
1. CCTV Drain Inspection
We send a high-resolution drain camera through the line to:
- Identify root intrusion, pipe cracks, or dislodged joints
- Pinpoint the exact location and cause
- Record footage for insurance or long-term planning
2. High-Pressure Jet Blasting
Our drain jetter blasts water at up to 5,000 PSI to:
- Cut through root masses
- Strip away grease and build-up
- Flush the entire pipe clean
This method is safe for old pipes, fully clears the line, and leaves you with a drain that actually flows.
Advanced Root Control With Vaporooter
In high-risk areas like Aldershot and Granville, we offer Vaporooter root treatment after jetting to prevent regrowth. It’s a safe, environmentally approved foam that stops root cells from re-entering the pipe—without harming the tree or damaging your plumbing.
Signs Your Drain Is Blocked or Damaged

- Gurgling toilets
