Clearing and Jetting
Roots, fat and wipes get washed from the line with high-pressure water matched to the pipe, so old earthenware comes out clean, and the flow is tested before we pack up.

Sewer Lines We Clear
Every call starts with finding where the line is blocked, because the fix depends on whether the fault sits at the fixture, in the yard run or at the boundary. We clear, test and repair all of it.
Why This Suburb's Sewers Block
Sewers came late
When the 1925 Kedron View Estate was released, electricity and town water were already at the boundary but there was no sewer, and sewers did not become widespread in Brisbane until the 1960s, so drains on many blocks were installed well after the houses themselves.
Joints everywhere
Those earthenware drains run in short sections, and each joint gives roots a way in and gives wipes and fat somewhere to snag.
Old gardens
Gardens here have been growing since the tram era, and roots from mature trees hunt for water at exactly those joints.
Sewer Clearing Services
What a blocked sewer call covers, from the first gurgle to a full line repair:
CCTV Drain Inspections
A camera pass through the line shows the precise joint or root mass behind a repeat blockage, so the repair targets the fault instead of guessing where the pipe runs.
Sewer Pipe Repairs
One root-cut joint gets patched, a collapsed section gets replaced, and a line past repair gets renewed, with the price for each option in writing before anyone starts digging.
Boundary and Gully Work
Inspection openings, yard gullies and boundary traps get checked, cleared and resealed, because a blockage at the boundary trap backs up every fixture in the house at the same time.
Fixture Overflow Response
Toilets and floor wastes backing up inside the house get the line cleared and the spill properly disinfected, with the cause named so the overflow does not return next storm.
Sewer Reports
A written report of what the camera found, what was cleared and what remains, useful for insurance claims and for anyone weighing up a repair before buying an older house.

Common Sewer Problems
Gurgling Floor Wastes
A partly blocked line traps air, and that air gurgles up through the floor waste whenever the toilet flushes, which means roots are in, so clearing early avoids the overflow.
Multiple Fixtures Backing Up
When the shower, toilet and laundry all slow at once, the blockage sits in the shared sewer run rather than any single fixture, and the main line is the job.
Repeat Blockages
A drain that blocks again within months has a structural fault at one joint, and a camera pass finds it so the repair fixes the cause instead of the symptom.
Sewage Smell Outside
A smell near a yard gully or inspection opening points to a blocked vent or a line running slow, and ignored it turns into a lawn spill at the next storm.
What a Blocked Sewer Means for Your Home
Health first
Sewage carries bacteria, so a spill near a play area or a laundry needs proper clearing and disinfecting, not just a hosed-down patch of lawn.
Damage grows
A slow line becomes a backed-up one, and a backed-up one pushes waste into the lowest fixture in the house, usually the shower or the floor waste.
Costs climb
Clearing a partly blocked line costs less than repairing a collapsed one, so the gurgle stage is always the better time to call.
Why This Suburb's Ground Makes It Worse
The low streets beside the brook collect water shedding off the higher ground, and when a storm cell parks over the catchment, saturated soil loads old earthenware joints hard. A line that coped in dry weather starts running slow, and roots already sitting in those joints hold back whatever the storm washes in.
The brook itself rises far upstream, so the problem can arrive on a dry day too.

Blocked Sewer Questions
Call (07) 3522 5623Who owns the blocked sewer line in a Kedron property?
The main under the street is Urban Utilities' responsibility, and the pipes from your connection inward belong to you as the owner, so clearing and repairs on your property are owner work.
Why do sewers in Kedron block more in older streets?
Drains on the interwar and early postwar streets are earthenware, laid in short jointed lengths, and the roots that established garden trees push into those joints trap wipes and fat too.
Can a blocked sewer near Kedron Brook wait a few days?
It should not wait if sewage is surfacing, because storm-saturated ground near the brook loads old joints further, so call and we will attend 24/7 with no extra charge for nights or weekends.
Do you clear blocked sewers in Kedron apartment blocks too?
Yes, at the last census 30.0 per cent of local dwellings were flats or apartments, and their shared stacks and floor wastes get the same clearing, jetting and flow testing as house drains.
How do you find where a Kedron sewer blockage sits?
We clear from the inspection opening or an outside gully first, and if the blockage comes back, a CCTV drain inspection pinpoints the fault and sets the right repair.
