What Blocks Drains in The Gap
Housing here spread across the valley through the 1960s and 1970s, and Upper Kedron Same Day Blocked Drains reads that history in the pipes five ways.
Clay pipe from the boom years
Where the original house drains from that era are glazed clay, their many joints give roots and grit an easy way in.
Hills that speed the water up
Streets climb the valley walls, so runoff arrives at the bottom lines with force rather than a seep, which loads the lowest stormwater pits first.
Bush edge and creek lines
Creek corridors and eucalypts along the bush edge keep steady root pressure on boundary traps across the suburb.
Buried septic history
The first of these homes went in before the city's sewers reached the valley, so some started on septic tanks, and an old tank may still lie buried in a yard.
Slope failures at the flat spots
Fall is rarely the issue; blockages gather at bends and where the pipe flattens before the connection, because solids settle out of the slower flow.
Hillside soils wash out around a leaking joint, letting a pipe sag into the hollow it leaves behind, so a drain that blocks twice in a year deserves a camera look.

The Gap Drain Questions
Call (07) 3067 4107Are the original clay drains from the boom years a problem?
They can be, because those short clay lengths meet at a joint every metre or so, and each joint is a way in for roots, so a street that kept its original drains blocks years before a newer one does.
Does the hillside runoff around Payne Road overload stormwater?
It can, because water off roofs and driveways builds speed on the granite and phyllite slopes and hits the low pits harder than flat ground ever does, so they choke early in a downpour.
Could a buried septic tank from the 1950s still affect my drains?
It could, because Brisbane was still clearing its sewerage backlog while these houses were going up, so some early homes started on tanks that were never removed, and an old tank or its drain line can still sit under a lawn.
Who owns the pipe if the blockage is out near the main?
The line on your property up to the connection is yours to keep clear; past that point the main belongs to Urban Utilities, and we point it out straight away when a blockage turns out to be theirs.
Is the creek flood mapping a reason to check drains early?
Yes, because council mapping puts only a scatter of valley-floor streets inside the 2022 creek flood extent, among them Glenella Street and School Road, and a line already running clear copes with a big storm far better than a choked one.
How do I book a plumber for a blocked drain?
Ring (07) 3067 4107, name the fixtures backing up and when the trouble began, and we lock in the fixed price before any work starts.
