How 6 Star Hot Water & Plumbing unblocked drains in Canberra and Queanbeyan with eels and jetters

6 Star Hot Water & Plumbing provides professional drain cleaning services in the ACT and Queanbeyan region for both blocked sewer drains and blocked stormwater drains. Read on to find out how we ensure your blocked drains stay clear and unblocked for longer.

Don’t be fooled by cheap drain cleaning services advertised by some plumbing companies as these can often lead to more headaches and callbacks. You really do pay for what you get. Often, with these discount drain cleaning services, the plumber clears the obvious blockage and says the drain is clear, and they don’t run the eel or jetter through the rest of your drains. If roots have managed to grow in your sewer or stormwater drain at some point, it’s highly likely they’ve also penetrated the pipe further downstream which can lead to future blockages. Our team of qualified plumbers and expert drain cleaners ensure every available access point is cleared through to the property boundary; leaving no more roots and extending the life of your drains.

Make sure your drains stay unblocked for longer

We have unblocked drains in Queanbeyan and Canberra over 18,000 times since 1992. With this experience in drain cleaning, we have learnt the best way to clear tree roots from drains and keep your drains flowing freely for longer.

Unlike some plumbers, we clear every available drain access point and believe that any Canberra plumber providing drain cleaning services who does not do this is either inexperienced or unethical. There is often more than one blockage in a blocked or overflowing drain and if the whole line is not cleaned at the same time, you’ll probably need another drain clean quite soon. If you want your sewer drains unblocked and cleaned efficiently and properly, then call us on 0448 844 911 for help today. You could save a lot of money in the long run.

How we ensure you get more time between blockages in your drain

By using the eel or jetter to clear every access point and branch line on your drains, we ensure the removal of all roots and blockages; saving you the mess of overflowing drains, minimising long-term costs and reducing the health risks posed to you and your family from backed up sewer and stormwater.

When we unblock drains, we start at the top end of the drain in section 1 and work our way down towards the boundary. In a sewer drain, the highest point of your drain is located next to the sewer vent pipe passing up from the ground through the roof.

We then take the following steps:

1. We clean 4m past the junction for section 2
2. We move the eel or jet rodder to the access point for section 2
3. We clean 4m past the junction for section 3
4. We move the eel or jet rodder to the access point for section 3
5. We clean 4m past the junction for section 4
6. We then move the eel or jet rodder to the access point for section 4. From this point we put our full 8 eel cables (36m) down the drain. This ensures that we get past your boundary connection and into the sewer main (beginning of section 5). In most cases, we actually get well into ICON Water or Queanbeyan Council’s sewer main.

When your plumber does not clean from all access points, blockages may be missed and your drains are likely to block and back up more frequently. Unethical plumbers rely on your fear of frequently blocked drains which allows them to easily talk you into an expensive drain repair. Some plumbers just don’t have adequate drain cleaning experience. Either way, this results in you spending more money on drain cleaning services than you need to.

The technique we use to unblock drains is tried and proven over many years. In 99% of all cases, our Canberra plumbers can properly unblock, clean and check a full house’s drains in under 1 hour.
