Kitchen Sink Drain Clearing
Grease and food scraps build a layer along kitchen drain walls until the sink drains in a slow swirl, and jet blasting strips the pipe back to full bore again.

Drain Cleaning in Kedron
Clearing a choke is easy; keeping the pipe clean is the real job. A quick plunge reopens a gap in the grease, and the drain slows again within weeks. A proper scour lifts the crust from the walls so the pipe regains its full bore.
Every service on this site starts from drain services, and cleaning is the one that keeps the pipes honest between blockages.
Why Kedron Drains Need a Real Clean
Joints everywhere
Drains under streets of interwar and early postwar vintage run in short earthenware lengths, with every junction giving grease, wipes and root fibres a place to catch, so a line fills from the walls inward. A camera inspection shows a dropped joint, and a toilet on that line is a blocked toilet job.
Slopes feeding the low side
Run-off from the elevated blocks crosses shallow soils fast and loads the pits on the lower streets, which is why the low end of the suburb silts up first.
A wet-season pile-up
Summer storms dump heavily on the Kedron Brook catchment, and gutters and yard pits collect a whole season of leaf litter just before they are asked to carry a downpour.
Decades of garden trees
Fine roots creep into older joints looking for water, and a scour shaves them back to the pipe wall before they close the bore completely.
The Drain Cleaning Work We Do
Six jobs cover most of the cleaning calls we get:
Shower and Bath Wastes
Hair and soap sludge pack shower wastes into a grey mat that holds water around your ankles, and an electric eel or jetter clears it so the floor drains dry again.
Laundry Tubs and Floor Wastes
Lint, detergent sludge and backyard grit settle in laundry tubs and floor wastes, and a full scour clears the matted lump that makes the trough empty at a trickle again.
Stormwater Gutters and Pits
Leaves from mature garden trees fill gutters and yard pits until downpipes overflow along the eaves, and clearing the pits and lines moves storm water away from the footings before the next storm.
Jet Blasting the Line
High pressure water jets scour silt, grease and root fibres off the pipe wall without touching the earthenware in Kedron's older streets, which restores the full bore and slows the next build-up.
Electric Eel Clearing
An electric eel winds a cutting head through the drain to chop root masses and break up hard blockages, and it suits the tight bends that short earthenware lengths create under older homes.

Slow Drains We See Around Kedron
Four patterns bring most of the cleaning calls:
The Sink That Slows Every Few Months
A kitchen drain that needs a plunge every few months carries a grease layer rather than one lump, and a full scour removes the film instead of poking a hole through it.
Water Pooling in the Shower
A shower that pools around your ankles points to soap and hair matted in the waste, and it clears from below so the mat lifts out whole rather than washing down the line.
Gully Overflowing on Laundry Days
An outside gully surging as the washing machine empties signals a partial choke downstream, and once the run is cleared the overflow point is restored, so wastewater goes down the sewer, not across the yard.
Downpipes Backing Up in a Storm
Downpipes that gurgle and overflow during a summer cell usually mean leaves have packed the stormwater line, and a jetted clean gives the next downpour somewhere to go besides against the house.
Why It Matters
A clean pipe costs less than a blocked one: Scouring the line now beats an emergency call later, because a drain that empties freely shrugs off the grease and roots that drown a half-choked one.
Old pipes stay old pipes
Earthenware joints and tight bends forgive a water jet far more readily than they forgive a repeated hard blockage, so gentle regular cleaning protects the original drainage.
You stop paying for the same job
A line scoured back to bare wall stays clear for a long stretch, while a drain cleared with a hole poked through the grease books you again within the month.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
Call (07) 3522 3397How often should drains be cleaned in an older Kedron house?
Houses in Kedron's interwar streets run earthenware drains with many joints, so a scour every year or two keeps grease and root fibres from building back to a full blockage.
Is jet blasting safe for the earthenware pipes under Kedron homes?
Yes, because the water does the work without metal teeth grinding the walls, which is why we favour jetting on the older lines around Somerset Road and the tram-era streets.
What is the difference between jet blasting and an electric eel?
An eel chops through a solid root mass with a cutting head, while jet blasting scours grease, silt and fibres from the pipe wall, and many Kedron jobs need both.
Will cleaning stop roots coming back near Kedron Brook?
Cleaning cuts the fine roots back and buys the full bore again, but if a joint keeps drawing them in, a camera inspection shows whether the smarter next step is a repair.
Do you clean stormwater drains as well as sewer drains in Kedron?
Both, because gutters, pits and downpipe lines clog with leaves before a summer storm just as kitchen and shower drains clog with grease and hair through the year.
