What Blocks Drains in Bardon
This suburb sits on the eastern foothills of Mount Coot-tha, and its shape drives its drain trouble.
Old earthenware runs
Houses from the interwar and postwar estates carry glazed earthenware drains with socket joints, and generations of ground shifting on sloping blocks have left those joints gaping, with lips that catch paper and wipes.
Roots from every direction
Leafy streets plus the bush edge near the Mount Coot-tha reserve mean fine roots sit beside shallow trenches through hard, rocky soil, and they head straight for the joints closest to the surface.
Slope that betrays solids
Water races away downhill fast, but anything solid settles out wherever a run levels off towards the boundary or the sewer connection.
Rain arriving all at once
Storm surges off the ridges can overload the yard drains and pits on a block's low side before the lines downstream clear the backlog.
At the last census Bardon held 3,468 dwellings, and 81.2 per cent of them were separate houses, so almost every job here is a house drain rather than a shared apartment line.

Bardon Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 5633Why does the same drain block again near the Mount Coot-tha bush edge?
Fine roots from established gardens and the forest edge keep creeping into opened earthenware sockets, so the same joint clogs repeatedly until that section of pipe gets repaired or relined rather than cleared yet again.
Should low-lying yards near Ithaca Creek be checked before summer?
It is worth doing, because council mapped creek flooding onto the low ground around Carwoola Street, Kamber Street and Fletcher Parade in February 2022, and a stormwater line that has been cleaned and camera-checked beforehand handles the November to March storms far better.
Who owns the blocked pipe, me or Urban Utilities?
Your side of the property boundary is your responsibility, and the street main past it belongs to Urban Utilities, so a camera run tells you exactly which side of that line the trouble occupies.
Is jet blasting safe on the old earthenware drains here?
Yes, because the water pressure gets set for pipe of this age, so the jet strips grease and root matter from the bore without cracking joints that hillside movement has already loosened over the decades.
What makes one drain job cost more than another in Bardon?
How easily the plumber reaches the line across a sloping block, how deep it sits, whether it is earthenware or a newer material, and whether a camera inspection is needed all feed into the quote you agree up front.
