Why Drains Choke on the Hills
The first buyers took on unsewered blocks
Camden Park estate lots went on sale from 1956 with no sewer connection, so the earliest houses here spent nearly two decades on septic systems, and tanks from those years may still lie buried in older gardens, sometimes right where a later drain had to cross.
Sewerage came late to these hills
Reticulated sewerage only reached the Hills District in 1974, so drains laid in that wave have now passed the fifty-year mark, and the clay pipe of the period was cut into short lengths, meaning a joint every metre or so for roots and hillside silt to work through.
The blocks sit on a slope
Plenty of lots along Plucks Road and View Crescent sit on ground steep enough for council's landslide-hazard mapping, and when a pipe or a gutter leaks up there, the water heads straight for the yard below.
Rain finds the low corners
With Cabbage Tree Creek running through the linear park and Kedron Brook along the southern edge, a heavy fall piles runoff into low spots such as Nepean Avenue in short order.
Roots close in from every side
Fine roots push in from the Bunyaville forest edge, the golf-course trees and the plantings along the creeks, and they find every clay joint eventually.
Repair or Replace on the Old Clay
When a 1974-era clay line keeps choking, the choice is cut out the damaged lengths and replace them, or reline the pipe where digging would tear up a driveway or garden. A badly collapsed run still gets dug, but a cracked or root-riddled section usually relines cleanly.
The camera footage settles which one your block suits, and the quote follows what the pipe actually shows.
The Drain Services We Run
Every blocked-drain job here routes through one of six services:
- Blocked toilets flushed and running again
- Blocked sewer lines restored to full flow
- Blocked stormwater pits and gullies emptied
- Drain cleaning by electric eel or jet blasting
- CCTV drain inspection that finds the fault
- Drain repairs on cracked and collapsed pipe
The full set sits on our drain services page.

Arana Hills Drain Questions
Call (07) 3523 7146Do the old clay drains from the 1974 sewering need replacing when they block?
Not always. Roots and silt in the joints often clear with jet blasting or an eel run, and only a cracked, sagged or collapsed section needs a repair, so the camera decides before anyone digs up your yard.
Why do drains on streets like Plucks Road block where the slope flattens out?
Water races down the steep runs and loses speed where the line levels out near a boundary trap, so the solids drop out in that quiet stretch and the choke starts there long before the rest of the drain complains.
Who owns the pipe between my house and the Unitywater main?
You look after the line running from your house to the street connection, and Unitywater looks after the main it joins, so the camera footage shows which side of that boundary the choke sits on.
Do you clear stormwater gullies that flood near Nepean Avenue?
Yes. Rain coming down the creek lines backs up in that low corner fast, so we clear the pit and the underground run, check the gully trap and get the yard draining again before the next storm cell arrives.
What should never go down the toilet?
Paper other than toilet paper, wipes, fat and food scraps all catch in old clay joints, so bag them and bin them instead, because anything solid that leaves the pan can build a choke downstream.
