Why Do Drains Block on the Gold Coast?
The Gold Coast lifestyle is fantastic, but our local environment can be tough on plumbing systems. One of the most common causes of severe blockages is tree root intrusion. The warm, subtropical climate encourages rapid root growth, and these roots naturally seek out the moisture and nutrients found inside your sewer and stormwater pipes. Once they find a tiny crack or a loose joint, they force their way in, expanding and creating a dense web that catches debris and eventually blocks the pipe completely.
Beyond tree roots, everyday household habits contribute significantly to blocked drains. In the kitchen, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are often washed down the sink. While they might be liquid when hot, they quickly solidify as they cool in the pipes, creating a sticky trap for food scraps and other waste. In the bathroom, a combination of hair, soap scum, and the flushing of "flushable" wipes (which rarely break down as advertised) can quickly lead to a stubborn blockage that requires professional intervention.
For commercial properties, particularly in the hospitality sector, the volume of waste going down the drains means that blockages can happen much faster. Without regular maintenance, grease traps and commercial kitchens can experience severe backups that disrupt business operations and create health hazards.
How High Pressure Water Jetting Works
High pressure water jetting is a highly effective, non-destructive method for clearing blocked drains. The process uses a specialised machine that pumps water at incredibly high pressures—often up to 5,000 PSI—through a flexible hose. At the end of the hose is a specially designed nozzle with forward and rear-facing jets. The forward jet blasts through the blockage, while the rear jets propel the hose down the pipe and scour the pipe walls clean.
Before we begin jetting, we typically use our CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage, ensuring we use the correct nozzle and pressure setting for the job. It also helps us identify any structural damage to the pipe, such as cracks or collapsed sections, which might require a more extensive repair like pipe relining.
Once the blockage is cleared, the high-pressure water continues to wash away the debris, leaving the inside of your pipes looking almost as good as new. Unlike traditional electric eels or drain snakes, which can sometimes just punch a small hole through a blockage, water jetting provides a comprehensive clean that restores the full diameter of the pipe. After the jetting is complete, we perform a final CCTV inspection to verify that the pipe is completely clear and to provide you with peace of mind.
