Blocked Toilets
A toilet that fills high, drains slowly or overflows onto the floor needs clearing fast, before sewage backs up through the bathroom.

Our Drain Services
Whatever is blocking, it fits one of the six services on our services page:
Blocked Sewer
Gurgling fixtures, dirty water in the shower and a smell around the yard point to a blocked sewer line between your house and the main.
Blocked Stormwater
Yard pits overflowing, water pooling against the garage and mulch washed across the driveway all point to a choked stormwater line, usually packed with leaves, silt or feeder roots from the bush edge.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry sinks, showers and floor wastes cleared with jet blasting or an electric eel, then flushed to check the flow.
CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera pushed along inside the pipe shows exactly where the blockage sits and what caused it, before anyone digs up the yard.
Drain Repairs
Cracked, root-damaged and collapsed pipes under Upper Kedron homes get fixed by dig-and-replace or relining, with the choice between them explained and priced before any work starts on your yard.

Local Drain Clearing for Upper Kedron
Who we are. Upper Kedron Same Day Blocked Drains is the blocked drain service for Upper Kedron, Ferny Hills and Ferny Grove. We clear blocked toilets, sewers, stormwater lines and fixture drains, and we fix the pipes underneath them.
Who we work for. Nearly every home here is detached, and the big multi-bathroom houses of the Ellendale estate mean one blocked main can back up several bathrooms at once. You get a fixed upfront price before we start.

Why Upper Kedron Drains Block
Four things show up again and again on this side of the hills:
Bush roots working into joints
Kept bushland and nature corridors run hard against many lots here, so tree roots probe every leaking joint on a sewer or stormwater pipe serving a house.
Steep slopes dumping their load
Lines laid down steep grades run fast, and the solids they carry drop out wherever the fall flattens, which is exactly where the blockage builds.
Ground that keeps moving
Drains crossing filled and benched ground can settle under driveways or retaining walls, opening a joint or leaving a sag that traps water and silt.
Pits full of leaf litter
Storm runoff comes off the bush catchment quickly, and yard pits collecting mulch and leaves from the corridors choke fast and push water back toward garages.
Drain backing up right now? Three quick checks:
- Sewage or dirty water coming up through a shower, floor waste or outside gully: stop using taps, toilets and the washing machine, keep children and pets clear, and call (07) 3067 4107.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3067 4107 so the plumber can find where it sits.
- Only one sink or shower is slow: stop pouring anything down it and book a visit, because one slow drain on its own is rarely urgent.
Early Signs of a Blocked Drain
Most blockages give you warning before they become an overflow:
Gurgling from the toilet or floor waste when the washing machine drains
air trapped behind a partly blocked shared line is looking for a way out.
Water pooling around an outside gully after rain or a shower
the yard pit or its outlet pipe is choked and backing up.
A smell of sewage near a garden bed or the driveway
something is leaking or holding in the line below, and it will only worsen.
The same toilet or sink going slow again within weeks
the first clear-out shifted the symptom, not the cause, usually roots or a collapsed section.
What the Price Depends On
Three things shape most drain quotes, and one situation where we are not the right call:
Access
a gully next to the driveway costs less to reach than a line under a deck or a retaining wall on a sloping block.
Depth, pipe material and cause
deep clay lines and root-damaged pipe take longer to sort than a silted stormwater pit.
Whether a camera inspection is needed
if the blockage keeps returning, a CCTV inspection finds the cause before you pay for guesswork.
If the blockage sits in the water authority's main rather than your property drain, that is Urban Utilities' job, not ours, and we will tell you straight so you can report it.
Rain, Slopes and Estate Drainage
The drainage story in Upper Kedron is about slopes and speed, not river floods. Four things from the local ground shape how stormwater behaves here:
Fast catchment response
Kedron Creek and Cedar Creek both start in this suburb, so a heavy burst on the bush slopes hits the estate pits within minutes, quicker than the downstream pipes can take the load.
Little creek flooding
Council flood mapping shows only a handful of properties, near Levitt Road, Ross Road, Windsor Drive and Canvey Road, at risk from creek inundation, and the big river floods of 1974 and 2011 missed the suburb entirely.
Overland flow as the real exposure
Water sheeting off the bush slopes causes more grief than the creek does, and council maps flag it along Lincoln Crescent, Halifax Street and Brockman Drive.
Slopes that need proper piping
Steep bush lots shed roof and yard water quickly, and where it runs unpiped it scours batters, gets under retaining walls and spills into the yard below.
If stormwater is ponding on your side of the fence after every storm, the line deserves a proper look, not just a bucket.

The Steps of a Drain Job
Every drain job follows the same four steps:
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3067 4107, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
A fixed price first
Once the cause is clear we explain the fix and quote a fixed upfront price, and nothing starts until you say yes.
- 3
Clear and trace the line
We clear the blockage with jet blasting or an electric eel, then check where the flow slows to map what the line still needs.
- 4
Proof it's clear
We test the drain with running water until it flows freely and show you the result before leaving the job.

Common Drain Questions
Call (07) 3067 4107What drives the price of clearing a blocked drain?
How easy the blocked section is to reach, how deep the pipe sits and what it is made of, what caused the block, and whether a camera inspection is needed all shape the quote, which you sign off before we touch anything.
Can you get to my drain the same day?
Call in the morning and we can usually have a plumber at your drain that day, because this side of the hills is part of our regular round.
Who owns the drain if it blocks?
Your pipes run to the connection point at the boundary, and everything past that belongs to Urban Utilities, so a blockage out in the sewer main is theirs to sort, not yours.
What should never go down the toilet or drain?
Wet wipes, paper towel, sanitary items, cotton buds, hair clumps and kitchen grease all jam pipes fast, so put them in the bin instead of flushing or rinsing them away.
How do you find what caused the blockage?
We clear the line first, then send a camera through to pinpoint roots, a collapsed section or a sag holding water, so the next fix targets the real problem.
How do I book a plumber for a blocked drain?
Ring (07) 3067 4107, tell us which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, and we will lock in the fixed price with you before anyone starts on the drain.
