Blocked Drains Clayfield
Clayfield drain chokes, from the ridge streets above Sandgate Road down to the Kedron Brook flats, are handled by the Nundah drain plumbers who work the surrounding northside. Sewer lines running slow, stormwater hanging about after rain, pans that will not flush and sinks that drain badly are the everyday calls here.

Why Clayfield Drains Block
The suburb took its name from the clay once dug here for bricks, and that ground has never stopped moving under the drains laid more than a century ago.
Earthenware pipe throughout
Urban Utilities' mapping shows the public sewers here are almost all earthenware, and the house lines from the estates sold between the 1880s and 1920s were run in the same material. Short socketed lengths pull apart as the reactive clay swells through humid summers and contracts in dry spells, leaving ledges that catch paper and wipes.
Mature tree canopy
The figs shading the old tram shelter and the poincianas and oaks along Alexandra Road show the scale of plantings beside old pipework, and root networks that size have no trouble locating an open joint.
Ground that cracks
Dry-season shrinkage in the ridge clay can drop or shear rigid old pipe laid under driveways and paths, and the giveaway is a line that chokes repeatedly in one place.
Run-off with nowhere to go
Council's overland flow mapping runs through the low yards toward Kedron Brook, so once the pits and gullies are full together a partly choked house line cannot shed anything.
Census figures put 51.3 per cent of the 4723 dwellings in flats or apartments, so shared stacks and common-property gullies in the older walk-up blocks are part of the mix as well.

Clayfield Drain Questions
Call (07) 3524 0742Who looks after the sewer main under Clayfield streets?
Urban Utilities looks after the street main, but the line running from your fixtures to that junction is yours, so the position of the blockage determines who you ring.
Do the figs on Sandgate Road trouble nearby drains?
They can, because roots that old and large track moisture into any open socket, and plenty of local house lines are still jointed earthenware they can enter.
Why does water pool near Kalinga Park after storms?
The low streets toward Kedron Brook carry mapped overland flow, so when a house line is partly choked the yard gullies cannot shed run-off and it lies about.
What feeds into the price of a drain job in Clayfield?
Depth, pipe material, ease of access and whether a camera pass is warranted each affect the figure, which we settle before any work begins.
Does the earthenware pipe here change how a clear is done?
It does, because brittle old ware limits which clearing methods suit it, so the pipe is identified before any jetting or eel work begins.
