Drain Clearing Done Properly
Whether it's a basin draining slowly over several minutes or a yard gully flooding the lawn during a storm, we clear the entire line and track down the cause. That means the drain stays clear, and you know its condition before the next wet season tests it.
Why Kedron Drains Block Differently
Old pipes, old trees
The bunya pines Henry Craig planted along the Gympie Road frontage of Lutwyche Cemetery show how long this suburb's trees have been growing, and roots from big old gardens go looking for water at buried joints.
Clay laid in sections
The interwar and postwar streets run earthenware house drains jointed end to end, and every joint is both a catch point for wipes and fat and an open door for a root.
Slope and soil
The old tramway estates sold elevated sites, and run-off crosses shallow soils on Brisbane tuff to reach the lower streets fast, loading gutters and pits in a single heavy storm.
Blocked Drain Services
Whatever the blockage, scale or root intrusion, these are the drain clearing jobs our plumbers take on throughout the suburb, with every one cleared and verified before we leave:
Blocked Sewer Lines
Toilets, floor wastes and gullies that surge or gurgle point to a blockage in the house drain, which we locate, clear and camera-check to confirm the line is running clean.
Blocked Stormwater
Downpipes, yard gullies and kerb connections that overflow in storms get cleared and checked, and outlets near the brook get tested against high water backing up rather than assumed clear.
CCTV Drain Inspections
Drains that keep blocking earn a camera inspection that finds the fault, whether a root-choked joint or a collapsed length, so the repair targets the actual problem, not a guess.

Blocked Drain Warning Signs
Catching a drain while it's still gurgling beats pumping water out of the laundry, so these are the four signs we get called for most:
Water Backing Up
Water rising in the shower or surging in the toilet pan means a blockage downstream, and clearing the main line rather than the trap alone is usually what fixes it.
Roots at Joints
Old clay lines give a root somewhere to squeeze in at each joint, and once they are in, a proper clean and a cut restore the flow and show the pipe's condition.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgles from the floor waste or the pan mean air trapped by a partial blockage, and catching it early usually turns a big drain-clearing job into a small one.
Storm Flooding
Yard gullies spilling during storms near the brook can mean outlets sitting under floodwater, and checking that first saves clearing a drain that was never actually blocked in the first place.
Storms, Slopes and the Brook
Outlets under the brook
Council's flood mapping from February 2022 covers part of Mercer Park beside the brook, and the stormwater lines there stop draining whenever the brook holds above their outlets.
A catchment that dumps
Summer storms sit heavily on the Kedron Brook catchment, and the suburb's long-run rainfall average sits near 1039 mm a year, much of it arriving in short, heavy falls that test every gully and pit.
Why a Cleared Drain Matters
Two blockages inside a year is the drain talking, and these are the reasons it pays to listen:
Small faults become big repairs
A root that's just broken into a joint is a clean and a cut. Left alone, it splits the joint, collapses a length and turns a clearing job into an excavation.
Water goes where it shouldn't
A surcharging sewer can push waste up through the shower or floor waste, the lowest exit in the house, and that's a health issue in any home, not just a mess.
You learn the line's condition
Once the camera has been through, you know the drain's age, its state and where its weak points sit, which is worth having before a renovation or a sale.

Blocked Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 5623Why do drains in Kedron block so often?
Because the older streets carry earthenware drains laid in short sections, and the established trees here find those joints fast, sending roots into the line and fat and wipes catching at the same spots.
Can high-pressure jetting crack the earthenware pipes under Kedron homes?
No, we match the jetting pressure to the pipe because old clay lines need a gentler touch, and a drain that keeps blocking needs the right repair found rather than more force.
Who owns the drain between my Kedron house and the street?
Urban Utilities owns the sewer main beneath the street; from the connection to your plumbing, responsibility rests with the owner, so unblocking and fixing your drain are jobs you must organise.
Why does my stormwater pit flood near Kedron Brook?
The brook rises far upstream at Upper Kedron, so heavy rain there arrives as rising water, and when it holds above your outlet, the drain has nowhere to empty until it drops.
Do you clear blocked drains in Kedron apartments too?
Yes, from a single slow basin in a flat to a shared stack surging through a block, and the same flat-rate quote and licensed plumbers apply whether the job is big or small.
