Clearing Drains Around the Point
Every drain we clear here has a story, and it usually involves opened earthenware joints, big trees or a hill that runs out of fall near the water. We find the story first.
Why Drains Block on This Headland
Old pipes under every street
Most of the sewer main length Unitywater keeps beneath this headland is vitrified clay or asbestos cement, running under streets that include Kate Street, Georgina Street and the Oxley Avenue spine, and cottages from the mid-century decades generally connect through earthenware branch drains with joints that have opened wide over time.
Roots with a short walk
Significant cottonwood, fig and palm trees appear in the council's heritage record for the suburb, and a root system that size finds an open earthenware joint within a few metres of the trunk.
A slope that drops its load
Streets run downhill toward the bay, so the water moves quickly until the ground levels out near the foreshore, and that flat stretch is where solids settle and build up.
Drain Clearing Services
From a kitchen sink running slow to a sewer surcharging out of a gully trap, this is the drain work we carry out across the headland:
Stormwater Lines
Blocked stormwater clears, from roof downpipes and driveway pits to the courtyard drain that floods each time a summer storm rolls in over Bramble Bay toward the Woody Point foreshore.
Camera Inspections
CCTV drain inspections show exactly which joint has dropped, fractured or been forced open by roots, which means any repair gets priced against what the line actually looks like.
Repeat Blockages
The drain that blocks every few months gets traced to its cause, whether that is root intrusion, a collapsed asbestos cement section or a fall that was never quite right.

Common Drain Problems Here
The Drain That Blocks Every Winter
Roots push through opened clay joints, thrive on moisture and strip the line each season, so we cut them back and camera the section to see whether replacement beats clearing.
Slow Drains After Heavy Rain
Average annual rainfall here sits around 1104mm, and storm flows push through open joints into old sewers, so a blockage that returns with every storm points at the line itself.
A Gully Trap Overflowing
Low streets near the water cop the worst of a surcharged sewer, because the wastewater rises out of the lowest fitting, and we clear the line and check the fall.
Sewer Smells in the Bathroom
A dried floor waste trap and a cracked branch drain smell identical from inside, so we test the line, identify which one it is and quote the fix before touching anything.
The Streets That Cop It Worst
Flood and storm tide ground
The council's flood hazard mapping rates Inglis Street, View Street and Samuel Street as medium, and Donald Street and Short Street sit inside its storm tide overlay, so ground near the water stays wet after big rain.
What wet ground does to a drain
An ageing asbestos cement line softens where the ground around it never dries out, and traffic loading above does the rest, so a fracture can arrive with the next storm.
Why It Matters
A slow drain is never just a nuisance on this headland, because the same ground that grows the trees and holds the water decides what happens next:
Water finds the next exit
A drain that will not take water pushes it somewhere else, and near the bay that somewhere is a gully trap or a floor waste. What was a slow shower becomes a flooded laundry.
Blockages wreck the pipe they sit in
Standing water and roots soften an old clay joint, and a line that could have been cleared in an hour becomes a dig and a replacement. The early call costs the least.
Sewer surcharge is a health matter
Wastewater rising out of a low trap is where the job stops being a nuisance and starts being urgent, so it gets priority on our run.

Blocked Drain Questions
Call (07) 3524 7117What causes most blocked drains in Woody Point?
Most blockages we clear on this headland start in old earthenware branch drains whose joints have opened with age, because the big street trees on Council's heritage record send roots hunting for moisture.
Does Unitywater unblock the pipes on my side of the boundary?
Unitywater maintains the sewer mains beneath the street and the meter itself, while every drain on your side of that connection belongs to you, so a blockage there is a job for our team.
Can heavy rain push sewage up through my gully trap?
It can, because storm water entering through the opened joints of an ageing sewer main has to go somewhere, and the lowest fitting, often a laundry gully near the water, is where it comes out.
Do you use CCTV to find where the Woody Point blockage sits?
We do, because a camera run along the line shows the fractured joint or root entry instead of a guess, and any repair is then priced from what the pipe actually looks like.
Why do drains keep blocking near Gayundah Esplanade?
The streets run downhill to the water, so flow slows where the ground levels out and solids drop out of the stream, while roots keep working on the old joints until the line blocks.
