What Blocks Drains in Chermside West
Four things keep the McDowall Blocked Drain Services crew busy on this patch:
Postwar earthenware drains
The mid-1950s to early 1970s estates were plumbed in earthenware, and generations of ground movement have offset the spigot joints, so paper snags and roots find the gaps.
Reserves full of tall natives
Raven Street Reserve and the Downfall Creek corridor keep big bushland close to back fences, and fine roots track damp soil down old trench lines into the backyard drains.
Rocky, uneven bedding
Brisbane Tuff and Aspley Formation sandstone lie under much of the suburb, and drains that went into that shallow rock rest on bedding which settles unevenly and cracks rigid joints over time.
Steep streets running to the creeks
Runs that drop sharply toward Downfall Creek and Little Cabbage Tree Creek carry water quickly, then stall near the boundary, where silt and fat build up in the slack water.
Drain Services for Chermside West Homes
Every job here starts from the same drain services menu at McDowall Blocked Drain Services:
- Blocked toilet clearing for pans filling to the rim
- Sewer clearing when every fixture backs up at once
- Stormwater unblocking for gullies pooling in storm season
- Drain cleaning with jet blasting and the electric eel
- CCTV drain inspection to find what holds the water back
- Drain repairs for cracked, root-split or collapsed runs
At the last census, 89.4 per cent of homes here were separate houses and most were owner-occupied, so plenty of original drains are still in service under lawns and driveways that have had fifty years to settle.
Why Choose McDowall Blocked Drain Services

Your Chermside West Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 5633Why do the old earthenware drains in Chermside West keep blocking?
The rigid clay joints in those old lines have been shifting since the fifties, and every offset leaves a lip for paper to catch on and a gap the roots beside the reserves push through.
Who owns the sewer main under my Chermside West street?
Everything inside your boundary up to the connection point is yours to maintain, while the street main is Urban Utilities' side of the fence, and we tell you which side you are on before anyone digs.
Does the steep ground toward Downfall Creek make stormwater drains worse?
It can, because the hill streets west of the creek corridors shed storm water fast, and where a run levels out near the boundary the flow goes slack and drops its load of silt and fat.
What makes a drain job cost more in Chermside West?
How deep the line sits, how easily the machine reaches it, whether roots or a broken section are involved, and whether a camera pass is worth running all move the figure, which is settled before work begins.
When should drains near the reserves be checked?
A camera pass before the November to March storm season finds root entry while a clean still fixes it, which costs less than digging up a cracked section later on.
