Drain Services in Woody Point
Every drain job we take on sits under one of six services, and you can read the full set on our drain services page:
Blocked toilets
toilets that won't flush, fill high or overflow onto the floor.
Blocked sewer
the line between your property drain and Unitywater's main.
Blocked stormwater
downpipes, pits and yard drains after bay rain.
Drain cleaning
sinks, showers and floor wastes cleared by eel or jet.
CCTV drain inspection
a camera run to find cracks, roots and collapses.
Drain repairs
broken or root-damaged pipes dug up or relined.
The Usual Blockages in Woody Point
The pipes under this headland are old, and the local conditions work against them:
Earthenware everywhere
Most of Unitywater's sewer mains on the headland are vitrified clay or asbestos cement, laid under Georgina Street, Oxley Avenue and Donald Street, so the older house drains connected to them crack, open at the joints and let silt and roots in.
Big trees on the heritage list
Council's heritage record names significant cottonwood, fig and palm trees, and root systems that size go looking for the joints of old earthenware lines nearby.
Steep streets, flat ends
Streets drop from the ridge to the foreshore, so lines run fast and solids settle out on the flatter stretches near the bay, which is where they clog.
Pipes that give up in the wet
Decades-old asbestos cement sewer pipes grow brittle and can crack or cave in after heavy rain or the weight of traffic above.
Drain backing up right now? Three quick checks:
- Sewage or dirty water coming up through a shower, floor waste or outside gully: stop using taps, toilets and the washing machine, keep children and pets clear, and call (07) 3067 4271.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3067 4271 so the plumber can find where it sits.
- Only one sink or shower is slow: stop pouring anything down it and book a visit, because one slow drain on its own is rarely urgent.
Signs a Drain Is Blocking
Most blockages give warning before they turn into an overflow:
Gurgling from the shower or floor waste when the toilet flushes
air trapped in the line, usually a partial blockage downstream.
Water pooling around the outside gully after the washing machine runs
the sewer line is restricted and backing up at the lowest point.
A toilet that fills high or drains slowly
the blockage is likely in the pan connector or the sewer line close by.
Damp patches or lush grass over a spot in the yard
a cracked pipe leaking into the soil, often with roots already in the joint.
What Affects the Cost of a Drain Job
Three or four things shape what a drain job costs:
Access
how easy the drain is to reach, whether it's under a unit block, a courtyard or a straightforward gully in the open.
Depth and pipe material
deep clay lines take longer to work on than shallow PVC, and older pipes need more care.
What caused it
a simple build-up clears quickly, while roots in a cracked joint often mean a repair is next.
Whether a camera inspection is needed
recurring or unexplained blockages usually warrant one before anyone digs.
One honest note: a blockage in Unitywater's sewer main is the authority's job, not yours, and we'll tell you straight if that's where it sits.
Storm Surge and the Low Streets
The second thing that shapes drain work here is water coming the other way. The low side of the suburb wears two Council overlays.
Flood and storm tide. Council's flood hazard overlay puts Samuel Street, View Street, Hawthorne Street, Woodcliffe Crescent and Inglis Street in its medium class, and its storm tide overlay takes in Donald Street, Inglis Street, Short Street and much of Woodcliffe Crescent. Overland flow paths also run across Donald Street, Victoria Avenue and Wharf Street.
For drains, that means the pits and gullies on those low streets collect silt and sand in heavy rain. A stormwater line that barely matters on the ridge can flood a yard down here in minutes.
Council notes the overlay maps were drawn before the 2016 planning scheme, so its Flood Viewer is the place to check current risk. The ridge along Oxley Avenue sits largely outside those classes.
Where We Work Around the Peninsula
The same team covers the rest of the peninsula, and we're in Margate and Clontarf most weeks. The about page has the backstory, and the contact page lists the phone and service area.
The FAQ page runs through the common questions in more detail.

Drain FAQs
Call (07) 3067 4271What affects the cost of clearing a blocked drain?
How easy the line is to reach, how deep it sits, what's actually causing the trouble and whether the job needs a camera look all feed into the figure, which you sign off on first.
Can you get to a blocked drain the same day?
Ring us in the morning and a plumber can usually be at your drain that same day, because the Redcliffe peninsula is part of our regular run.
Who owns the drain if there's a problem?
You look after the pipe from your house to the boundary, and Unitywater looks after the sewer main beyond it, so a main-line blockage is theirs to fix.
What should never go down the toilet or sink?
Wipes, paper towel, cotton buds, fats and cooking oils cause most of the blockages that didn't have to happen, and they catch easily in old earthenware joints.
How do you find what's blocking the drain?
We read what the fixtures are telling us, clear the line with an eel or jet blast, then send a camera through when the signs point to a cracked or squashed pipe.
How do I book a drain plumber?
Ring (07) 3067 4271, tell us which fixtures are playing up, and you'll agree a fixed price in writing before any work starts, with card or EFTPOS payment on the day.
