What Blocks Drains Around Here
First-generation earthenware
The 1880s boom estates of Heathfield, Longlands and Langlands were sewered by 1925, which means many house drains under the old Queenslanders have been in the ground close to a century.
A joint every pipe length
Earthenware came in short lengths, so those runs carry a joint every metre or so, and each joint is a doorway for fine roots and silt on streets like Mowbray Terrace and Longlands Street.
A slope that runs out
The suburb rises to a small hill and drops toward Norman Creek, so waste races down the steep upper lines and then slows where the grade flattens near the water, leaving paper stranded on the low streets.
Ground that stays wet
Shallow groundwater on the flat keeps the soil around an old pipe saturated, and that wet backfill feeds through any crack until the line settles out of fall.
Pits doing more than they were built for
Gullies on the flat now collect run-off from far more roof and pavement than the 1880s street plan ever imagined, and council's creek flood planning area reaches Caswell, Ashfield and Hilton streets.
The Drain Work We Get Called To
Every job starts by finding the cause. Our drain services cover the lot:
- Blocked toilets cleared before the pan spills over
- Blocked sewer lines between your property and the Urban Utilities main
- Blocked stormwater pits and pipes on the flat toward the creek
- Drain cleaning with an electric eel or jet blasting for sinks, showers and floor wastes
- CCTV drain inspection to see which joint has cracked or dropped
- Drain repairs for broken, root-damaged or collapsed pipe
At the last census, 50.3 per cent of the suburb's 2,589 dwellings were flats or apartments, so a fair share of this work happens inside shared laterals under unit blocks rather than under private yards.

East Brisbane Drain Questions
Call (07) 3524 0742Why does the same drain block every summer near Norman Creek?
The hillside lines above the creek run fast and the flat ones near the water run slow, so paper that travels well at the top of the street settles where the fall eases off, and the lower streets cop the repeat blockages.
Do the flood-mapped streets around Caswell and Ashfield need their drains checked differently?
The creek flat holds shallow groundwater that keeps the ground around an old pipe wet, and wet soil works its way through a cracked joint until the line sags, so a camera run before any repair quote saves guesswork.
Where does my responsibility for the sewer pipe end?
Urban Utilities looks after the main in the street, and your own house drain up to that connection is the property's to maintain, so we clear and repair your side and tell you plainly if trouble sits in theirs.
Can you get a plumber to East Brisbane quickly?
A morning call usually has a plumber at your drain that same day, and the price is settled before any tool comes out of the van.
What changes the cost of a drain job on an old Queenslander street?
Access under a raised house, how far down the line sits, whether it is earthenware or a newer material, and whether roots, silt or a collapsed section caused the trouble all feed into the fixed price you agree first.
