Find It, Clear It, Fix It
Drain work comes down to three moves: find the cause, clear the blockage, fix what's broken. Mitchelton Blocked Drain Services does all three, and the pages below say which one your problem needs.
Which Drain Service Do You Need?
Match your symptom to the page that handles it:
Blocked Sewer
When the whole house drains sluggishly together, the sewer line is the likely culprit, and we clear it out toward the Urban Utilities main and test it with water.
Blocked Stormwater
Yards that turn into ponds and driveway pits that overflow in a downpour get their stormwater lines cleared, flushed and checked well before the next storm cell arrives.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry tubs, showers and floor wastes get properly cleaned with an electric eel or a jet blast rather than a plunger and hope.
CCTV Drain Inspection
Sending a camera down the pipe reveals the exact cause and position of a repeat blockage, so the fix rests on what's actually down there rather than a guess.
Drain Repairs
Broken, cracked or root-ravaged pipes get replaced with new sections, or relined where digging up the yard isn't the sensible answer, and the line gets tested after.

What the Ground Here Does to Drains
Old earthenware drains
The pre-1947 cottages and Queenslanders in the character pockets typically drain through earthenware pipe laid in short lengths, and each of those old joints gives roots and silt somewhere to settle.
Mature trees near old lines
The Kedron Brook parkland and the leafy residential streets put big root systems beside drains laid decades before anyone planted those trees. Roots follow moisture into the smallest crack.
Slopes that hurry runoff
The suburb sits on undulating shale and rock country, so storm cells send water downhill fast. Long-term records put average annual rainfall around the 1048mm mark, and a good share of it arrives in short, heavy bursts.
Shared lines behind the shops
Unit and townhouse infill means several households can sit behind one set of pipes, so a blockage in a shared line isn't always yours alone to diagnose.
Clean It, Find It or Fix It
Not sure which page is yours? The decision usually runs like this:
Cleaning does the job
when a single tub, shower or floor waste is slow and everything else drains normally. Start at drain cleaning.
A camera comes next
when the same drain keeps blocking, or the cause can't be read from the surface. See CCTV drain inspection.
Repair or relining enters the conversation
when the camera shows a broken, sagging or root-choked pipe that clearing alone won't solve. Read drain repairs.
Signs By Property Type
Where your house sits in the suburb's history changes what a slow drain usually means:
Pre-1947 houses
short earthenware joints and mature gardens make root intrusion the first suspect, especially where a Queenslander sits high over old ground.
Postwar fibro and brick-veneer homes
original drains are past their design life, so recurring blockages often mean a sagging or cracked line rather than a fresh blockage.
Units and townhouses
shared drains mean one household's problem shows up in another's floor waste, so report gurgling early rather than waiting for overflow.

What Shapes the Cost
Three things move a drain quote more than anything else:
Access
reaching a drain beneath a high-set Queenslander is a different job to digging down through shale to a deep line.
What's actually caught
a grease build-up shifts differently to a root mass jammed into an earthenware joint.
Whether a camera inspection is needed
confirming the cause first costs less than guessing wrong on a repair.

Drain Service Questions
Call (07) 3522 5633How do I know which drain service I need?
Describe what's happening on (07) 3522 5633 and the plumber works it out from there, because a gurgling toilet, a flooded yard and a slow sink each point to a different service and a different fix.
Can I pay on the day?
Yes, card and EFTPOS are both accepted on the day, once the work is finished and you've watched water run freely through the line yourself.
Should I try chemicals before calling?
Skip them, because a caustic pour shifts a little grease and hides the rest, while roots, silt and collapsed earthenware need an eel, a jet blast or a repair to actually fix.
What should I have ready when I ring?
Know which fixtures are slow or overflowing, where the outside gullies sit, and whether the problem showed up after rain, because those three details set where the plumber starts.
Do you clear stormwater and sewer lines differently?
Yes, because a stormwater line carries leaves and silt off the slopes toward the pits, while a sewer line carries waste out to the Urban Utilities main, and each blocks for different reasons.
How do I arrange a drain service?
Ring (07) 3522 5633, describe the drain and the fixtures playing up, and the price gets set and agreed before any work starts, with card or EFTPOS on the day.
