Downpipes and Gutters
Blocked downpipes get cleared and flushed, and the gutter outlets feeding them get checked and freed, so roof water travels the way it was designed to rather than pouring over the fascia.

Stormwater Help in Kedron
The stormwater side of your plumbing carries rain off the roof and away from the house, and when it blocks, the water goes somewhere you don't want it. We clear downpipes, gullies, pits and boundary connections, and we confirm the line flows properly before we call it done.
Why Stormwater Struggles Here
This suburb sits on undulating ground, and the older estates were sold as elevated sites, which means the rain that lands up the hill has to come down through the lower streets on its way to the brook.
Thin ground over Brisbane tuff
Run-off crosses those shallow soils quickly, so gutters, kerb pits and yard gullies take a sudden load in even a short, heavy storm cell.
The brook sets the ceiling
Kedron Brook rises well upstream at Upper Kedron, and by the time a swelling brook reaches the green strip of the Kedron Brook Bikeway, the low drains along that edge can be sitting below the water line.
Flood extents reach the margins
Council's mapped February 2022 flood extent touches the parkland beside the brook, so properties on that low edge know exactly what a blocked outlet means during a big event.
A drain that only struggles when the brook is high has a different problem to one that pools at the first shower, and telling those apart is where we start.
Stormwater Clearing Services
From the gutter to the boundary, these are the stormwater jobs our plumbers handle across the suburb and its neighbours:
Yard Gullies and Pits
Surface gullies and grated pits standing full of water get emptied, jetted and tested, with silt and garden debris removed and the grate reset so the next storm has an open path.
Kerb and Boundary Connections
The line from your property to the street pit gets traced and cleared, so a blockage on your side is fixed at your place rather than pushed back.
Strip Drains and Grates
Paved areas, driveways and paths that flood because the strip drain has silted up get cleaned out and graded, and cracked or sunken grates get replaced before they become a trip hazard.

Signs Your Stormwater Line Is Blocked
Water Pooling at the Pit
A grate standing under water in light rain means the pipe below is partly full, usually with silt or leaves washed in from the roof, and clearing it early keeps the backup away.
Gully Overflow in Storms
A gully spilling across the lawn or path during a storm points to a blocked line or a surcharged outlet, and near the brook the water may have nowhere to drain.
Silt and Leaf Build-Up
Fine silt packs hard along flat sections of pipe and sets like mud, because the thin soils and garden litter of an established suburb wash into every open grate the rain finds.
Roots in the Line
Mature garden trees send roots looking for water at old joints, and a line that clears slowly every winter is often being squeezed a little tighter each year until it finally closes.
Why a Blocked Stormwater Line Matters
Water that can't get away doesn't sit politely. It goes where gravity takes it:
It works on your foundations
Stormwater pooling against a wall or footing soaks into the ground beside it, and on a suburb with reactive patches in its soils, that moisture movement is the last thing slab edges and stumps need.
It finds its way indoors
A full gully or a flooded path next to a low laundry or garage sends water under doors, and the recovery check after that kind of entry is a bigger job than a cleared drain.
It loads the whole network
One blocked boundary connection pushes more water onto your neighbours and the street pits, so fixing your line helps the street drain the way it was built to.

Blocked Stormwater Questions
Call (07) 3522 5623Who is responsible for a blocked stormwater drain in Kedron?
The pipes inside your boundary, including downpipes, gullies and the connection to the kerb, are yours as the owner, while Council maintains the street-side pit and pipe network.
Why does my Kedron yard flood even after a short storm?
Rain falling on the rises above the lower streets arrives fast over thin soils on Brisbane tuff, and a partly blocked gully or pit leaves that water with nowhere to go.
Can a blocked stormwater drain near Kedron Brook wait until the rain eases?
Usually yes, provided no water is coming into the house, because those low drains stop working while the brook holds above their outlets and start again once it drops.
Does Urban Utilities look after stormwater pipes?
No, Urban Utilities looks after the public water main and the sewer, while stormwater lines on the private side of the boundary are the owner's, and Council maintains street drainage.
What changes the cost of clearing stormwater in Kedron?
Access to the pit, how far down the line the blockage sits, and whether roots or compacted silt need cutting and flushing all move the price, which you approve first.
