Kitchen Sink Drains
Grease and food scraps pack kitchen lines solid over time, and a proper clean strips the buildup off the pipe wall so water runs away the way it should.

Keeping Pipes Moving
Cleaning a drain is different from clearing one. A clear gets water moving after a choke; a clean strips the grease, silt and root hairs from the pipe wall so the same blockage is far less likely to come back. One is a quick fix; the other leaves a line that stays healthy.
Why Lines Slow Down Here
Alluvial ground along the brook
The soil on the Kedron Brook frontage shifts more than the shale and rock on the slopes, so pipes settle into low spots where sand and grit settle too, and a clean restores the fall the pipe was laid with.
Mature canopy over old drains
The leafy streets and the brook parkland put big root systems right alongside old pipe runs, so fine root hairs and leaf litter work into joints and need cutting back before they throttle the bore.
A wet average year
Census-district records put average annual rainfall around 1048mm, and much of it arrives in fast summer cells, so a stormwater line already carrying sand loses capacity exactly when it matters most.
Mixed housing stock
With 19 percent of residents in flats or apartments at the last census, shared lines behind unit infill carry several households' worth of soap and grease, and they reward a proper clean over a poke-through.
The Cleaning Work We Do
Here is what a cleaning visit can cover:
Shower and Bath Drains
Hair and soap sludge knot up shower wastes until water pools around your feet, and clearing the line properly gets the bathroom draining freely again within the one visit.
Laundry and Floor Wastes
Lint, detergent sludge and garden grit settle in laundry troughs and floor wastes, and a thorough clean-out stops the grey water backing up across the floor during the next wash.
Electric Eel Clearing
An eel chews through dense chokes in older pipe without any digging, which suits the short earthenware runs under Mitchelton's pre-war cottages and gets the line flowing again quickly.
Jet Blasting the Line
Hydro jetting scours silt, grease and root tails off the whole pipe bore, the stronger option when a run keeps slowing down and a simple poke-through clear won't hold.
Stormwater Line Cleaning
Leaf litter and sand settle in yard drains before summer storms, and flushing them out restores the carrying capacity that keeps water off the lawn when the rain arrives.

Problems Cleaning Sorts Out
Four complaints cover most of the cleaning calls we take:
The Same Sink Slows Again
A kitchen line that clears for a month then slows again usually still carries a grease ring, and jetting the full run removes what a quick clear leaves behind.
Several Drains Slow at Once
When the shower, basin and laundry all drag together, the choke sits in the shared branch rather than one fixture, and clearing the main run fixes all of them.
Gurgling After Every Wash
Air trapped behind a partial choke makes drains gulp as water passes, and cleaning the line removes the restriction so the pipes vent the way they were laid to.
Water Pooling at the Gully
An outside gully that sits full after rain is carrying more silt than flow, and a clean-out through the yard line brings the level back down where it belongs.
Why a Clean Is Worth It
It stops the cycle
A line cleared but not cleaned keeps the same rough spots and grease films, so the next choke is usually weeks away rather than years.
It protects old pipe
Earthenware and early metal pipe in the pre-1940s pockets copes better when it is flowing full and free, instead of sitting wet with waste caught against the joints.
It beats the storm season
A stormwater run cleaned before summer has the capacity to take a fast cell, which is the difference between a wet lawn and water at the back door.

Drain Cleaning Questions
Call (07) 3522 5633How often should drains in Mitchelton be cleaned?
Most Mitchelton homes suit a clean every year or two, though leafy blocks near Kedron Brook and kitchens in heavy daily use benefit from a jetting pass more often.
Will jet blasting damage old earthenware pipe near Kedron Brook?
No, we set the jetting pressure to suit the pipe, and on the short earthenware runs under older Mitchelton cottages the eel is often the gentler first choice.
What does drain cleaning cost in Mitchelton?
It depends on which line needs cleaning, what is sitting in it and whether a camera should confirm the cause, and you agree the fixed price before we start.
Is drain cleaning different to a CCTV inspection in Mitchelton?
Yes, cleaning clears the line and an inspection films it, so a camera run makes sense when a blockage keeps returning and you want the actual cause identified.
Can you clean the drains of an older cottage around Osborne Road?
Yes, the weatherboard and fibro cottages around Osborne Road and the character streets usually drain through short pipe runs, and we clean them without disturbing the garden.
