The Drain Work We Take On
Every drain job runs through one of six services, and the drain services page explains which one fits your trouble:
Blocked toilets
a choked pan cleared properly, with the cause found so it does not return next month.
Blocked sewer
the main property line opened up from your fixtures out to the street connection.
Blocked stormwater
yard drains, downpipes and gullies that drown the lawn every time it storms.
Drain cleaning
sinks, showers and laundry wastes scoured clean with jetting or eel work.
CCTV drain inspection
a camera run that shows the exact joint, crack or root mass behind the trouble.
Drain repairs
broken, cracked or collapsed pipes dug up and replaced, or relined where the pipe still holds its shape.
What Blocks Drains Around Here
Bardon's drains choke for reasons written into the suburb's ground, and knowing them changes how the job gets done.
Old clay drains on the move
Houses built between the wars and the postwar years carry glazed earthenware lines, and on ground that tilts this much the socket joints have shifted apart, leaving lips that snag paper and wipes.
Roots at the bush edge
Gardens backing onto the Mount Coot-tha reserve off Paten Road sit beside mature trees, and their fine roots hunt out the shallow joints first.
Slopes with flat spots
Flow moves quickly down the side streets off Simpsons Road until a run levels out near the connection, and that flat stretch is where waste drops out and piles up.
Ridge runoff
When the storms come, water sheets off the ridges faster than the yard pits on a block's low side can pass it downstream.
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) 3522 3397.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3522 3397 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.
Signs a Drain Is Starting to Block
Catching a choke early is the difference between a quick clear and a flooded bathroom, so watch for these:
Gurgling from the pan or floor waste
air caught behind a partly blocked line downstream, usually roots or a joint that has shifted.
The shower filling while the sink drains
both fixtures share a branch, and the trouble sits past the point where they meet.
The outside gully spilling when the washing machine empties
that branch is partly blocked and wants clearing before it backs inside.
Toilet paper needing a second flush
the line is narrowing, often at a proud earthenware socket, and it will close fully if left alone.
What Shapes the Quote
The price depends on the pipe and the blockage, never on a clock:
Getting to the line
A cleanout in the garden is quick work; a run trapped under a deck or retaining wall is not.
Depth and material
Deep earthenware takes longer to reach and clear than shallow modern plastic.
The cause
Paper and grease come away easily; a root mass threaded through every joint does not.
Filming
Repeat chokes and repair quotes both need camera footage first, and that is its own step on top of clearing.
One thing we will tell you straight: a choke in the Urban Utilities main under the street belongs to the authority, not to you, and we will say so if the footage shows it.
When the Storms Arrive
The November to March storm season is when Bardon's phones start ringing.
Foothills runoff
Torrential rain comes off the Mount Coot-tha foothills and races down the steep gullies either side of the ridge roads, and a half-choked stormwater line cannot take it.
Creek-side ground
Low ground along Ithaca Creek, around Carwoola Street, Kamber Street and Fletcher Parade, sits inside council's February 2022 flood mapping, and those streets cop overland runoff on top of it.
The fix is timing
Homes on that low ground do best with yard drains and gullies cleared before the wet, because a line running half-blocked in dry weather backs up within minutes of a downpour.
Where We Work
Drain jobs take us across the whole patch, and each suburb has its own page on the drain conditions there:
We cover Ashgrove, Red Hill, Paddington, Auchenflower and Toowong as well as Bardon itself, along with the rest of Brisbane's northside. Wherever the choke sits, the process and the pricing work the same way.
From Call to Cleared Drain
Every job follows the same four steps, so you know what happens and what it costs before anyone picks up a tool.
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3522 3397, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
Price agreed before work
We find the cause, explain the fix and give you a fixed upfront price, and the work only starts once you agree to it.
- 3
Clear and film
The plumber opens the line with the jetter or eel, then sends a camera along it so you can see what let the trouble start.
- 4
Checked and cleared
Water runs through the line until it drains freely, and you see the result for yourself before we go.

Bardon Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 3397What makes one drain job cost more than another?
How easy the line is to reach, how deep it sits, what actually choked it and whether the pipe needs filming all shape the figure, which is locked in writing before anyone starts.
Can you usually get here the same day?
Yes, same-day where we can. A morning call usually sees a plumber at your drain that afternoon, though we never promise it before we know the job.
Which parts of the drain am I responsible for?
The pipe from your fixtures out to the boundary connection is yours to maintain, while the street main is Urban Utilities territory, so filming the line shows whose stretch a fault sits in.
What should never go down the toilet or sink?
Wipes, paper towel, cotton buds, fats and oils sit behind most of the chokes we clear, because none of them break down the way toilet paper and water do.
How do you find what caused the blockage?
Once the line runs clear, a camera films the inside of the pipe, showing whether roots, a shifted socket or a crack let the choke build, so the fix targets the real fault.
How do I book a plumber for my drain?
Ring (07) 3522 3397, describe the fixtures that are slow or gurgling, and we will set a time and put the fixed price in writing before work begins.
