From interwar houses to newer unit blocks, Lewis and the team clear blocked drains in Kedron homes and businesses, including sewer lines, toilets, kitchen and bathroom drains, and stormwater. Read more about our blocked drain clearing in Brisbane.
Blocked Toilets
Repeated toilet blockages often mean a problem further down the drain. We clear the toilet and the line behind it.
Sewer & Waste Lines
Slow sinks, gurgling and smells in more than one room point to the main sewer line. We locate the blockage and clear it.
Stormwater & Downpipes
Blocked downpipes and stormwater pipes overflow in heavy rain. We clear out leaves, silt and roots so water drains away from the house.
CCTV, Jetting & Repairs
We inspect with a drain camera, clear stubborn blockages with high-pressure jetting, and repair damaged pipe once you approve the price.

Signs It’s Time to Call a Plumber
Small warning signs often come before a blocked drain overflows:
Water draining slowly from the sink, shower or bath
A gurgle from the toilet when the basin drains
A toilet that needs two flushes or blocks regularly
Sewer smells in the bathroom, laundry or yard
Downpipes spilling over, or water pooling after rain
If more than one fixture is affected, the blockage is likely in the main line.
Interwar and post-war houses. Kedron was developed mainly between the wars and in the early post-war years. Drains that have been in the ground that long can have cracked or shifted joints where roots and debris catch.
New units alongside older homes. Flats and apartments have been added in recent years, and in the 2021 Census they made up about 30% of occupied dwellings. Shared drains in unit blocks mean a single blockage can affect several homes. We also work with property managers and body corporates.
Gympie Road businesses. Kedron’s shops along Gympie Road serve local needs. Commercial drains, especially in food businesses, can collect grease and waste. Our commercial plumbing service covers business premises.
Kedron Brook. Kedron Brook flooded during the 2022 Brisbane floods. In low-lying areas near creeks, heavy rain can leave stormwater drains slow to clear, so keeping pits and pipes free of debris helps.
What Happens When You Call
1. We Inspect
We check the affected fixtures and drain access, then use a CCTV camera if the cause isn’t obvious.
2. We Clear
The drain is cleared with machines or high-pressure water jetting, depending on whether the cause is roots, grease, wipes or silt.
3. We Check
We make sure the drain flows properly. If there’s damage, you get the repair options and the price first.
Waiting for the Plumber? Do This
Stop using the sinks, showers and toilets that are draining slowly.
Turn off the washing machine and dishwasher.
Don’t try caustic drain cleaners on a full blockage.
Keep the overflow relief gully grate uncovered.
Tenants should tell their property manager or landlord.
Our yard is at 67 Nielson St in Chermside, the suburb next to Kedron. Call 0435 878 512 to check when we can get to you.
What causes blocked drains in older Kedron homes?
Tree roots, grease, wet wipes and cracked or sagging pipes are typical causes. In older pipes, roots can get in through worn joints. A camera inspection tells us which one we’re dealing with.
My stormwater overflowed in the last storm. Can you fix it?
Yes. We clear blocked stormwater pits, downpipes and underground pipes. If the pipe is damaged, a camera inspection shows where, and we can repair it.
Who’s responsible for a sewer blockage, me or Urban Utilities?
Property owners look after private pipes up to the sewer connection point, and Urban Utilities looks after its network beyond that. If we find the blockage is on their side, report it to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64.
Do you give quotes upfront?
Yes. After assessing the blockage, we give you an upfront price, and nothing starts until you’re happy with it.
