Sewer Drains in Arana Hills
The sewer line is the one pipe every drain in the house feeds, so a fault there shows up everywhere. We clear it properly and check why it blocked, not just poke a hole.
Every sewer job sits under our drain services, alongside toilet clears, stormwater work and everything else that keeps a household draining.
What Makes Sewers Block Here
Sewers arrived here in one decade
Most of the suburb connected when the mains came through in 1974, so the runs under these streets are glazed clay of a single vintage, short in length and generous in joints.
Some yards predate the pipes
The Camden Park blocks were sold unsewered, and older properties can still hide a septic tank or a capped line right where a repair would dig.
The ground moves
Shale and alluvial soil on these slopes swell and shrink between wet spells and dry, and that movement opens clay joints a straight, stable run would keep shut.
Roots hunt along the creeks
Plantings near Cabbage Tree Creek and the Bunyaville forest edge send root hairs into sewer joints looking for moisture, and a tired old joint is an easy target.
What We Do for Sewer Lines
Here is what a sewer call usually involves, whether the fault is a one-off or a repeat:
Main sewer line clearing
we break up the root mass, paper or silt holding the main line, so every fixture in the house drains freely again.
Gully and inspection point clearing
sewage surfacing outside is a clear warning, and clearing it early keeps the overflow out of your yard and away from the kids and pets.
Camera checks after a clear
when the line has blocked before, a CCTV drain inspection confirms whether tree roots got back in or a damaged joint started it, so you know if a repair is coming.
Repairs where clearing is not enough
a cracked, collapsed or root-split section gets dug and replaced, or pipe relining fixes it in place, sparing the garden, and you agree the price before anything starts.
Sewer Problems We See Here
These are the sewer faults we get called to most around the suburb:
Sewage coming up through the gully
that usually means the blockage sits within your own boundary, and the line needs clearing before the shower or toilet joins in.
Every drain slow at once
when the whole house holds back together, the fault sits in the main sewer run, and one clear brings the lot back to life properly.
Repeat blockages on the same line
roots regrow through old clay joints, and clearing without a camera just resets the clock until the next backup, so we look deeper first.
Sewer smells around the yard
a partly blocked or cracked run lets gases escape near the house, and finding the fault early beats digging once the pipe has finally collapsed.
Why a Blocked Sewer Cannot Wait
A slow sewer gets worse fast, and here is why an early call pays off:
Sewage waits for nobody
A backed-up sewer sends dirty water to the lowest fixture in the house, often the shower. Clearing it early is the difference between a job and a clean-up.
The cause matters as much as the clog
Clearing without knowing why invites the same backup next month. A quick look down the line shows whether roots got in or a joint has let go.
Old pipes fail quietly
Glazed clay runs from the 1970s hold up for years, then crack under shifting hillside ground. Catching one early keeps the repair small.

Clear and check the line
We run an electric eel or jet head along the sewer line from the boundary trap or the pan end, break up the blockage and flush the whole run clean.
- 4
Proof it's clear
We test the drain with running water until it flows freely and show you the result before leaving the job.

Sewer Drain Questions
Call (07) 3523 7146Where does my responsibility end and Unitywater's begin in Arana Hills?
Your sewer run counts as yours from the fixtures out to the connection at Unitywater's main, so anything backing up inside the boundary is ours to clear and the main itself is Unitywater's.
Why do sewer lines block more on the Arana Hills slopes?
Water races down the hillside and the solids it carries settle out wherever the grade eases, usually near the boundary trap, so the same street can block in the same spot for years.
What moves the price of a sewer clear in Arana Hills?
Depth, pipe material and what caused the blockage all move the number, and none of it is guesswork: you approve a fixed upfront price before we touch the pipe, and then we get on with it.
Can an old septic tank still sit under an Arana Hills yard?
It happens: some blocks here predated the 1974 sewering and carried septic systems, so a buried tank or capped line can still sit where a repair trench is planned.
What does sewage at the gully near the Bunyaville forest edge mean?
That overflow points to a fault on your side of the boundary rather than in Unitywater's main, and roots from the forest edge are often the cause, so the line needs clearing promptly.
