What Chokes the Point's Drains
This suburb is a rhyolite peninsula, and its pipes behave like it. Nearly every blockage we clear here traces back to one of four habits of the ground.
The slopes unload at the bottom
Ellis Street ranks among the steepest hills in Brisbane, and every high street sheds water fast. Where that run flattens out near the river, the flow loses its carry, and solids settle right where your lateral joins the main.
The old lines are genuinely old
The stormwater system laid here and for South Brisbane dates to 1885 and 1886, and riverside sections of it still work. Those pipes now catch run-off from far more pavement than they were dug for.
Rock sits close underfoot
Rhyolite lies near the surface, which leaves old drains with barely any cover. Trenching through it is slow going, so a collapsed run up on the cliffs is usually relined or rerouted rather than opened up.
The venue trade feeds the sewers
The Story Bridge Hotel, the Pineapple Hotel and the Main Street eateries all push fat and scraps down shared lines toward the river, and those chokes show up in the low blocks.
At the last census, 87.0 per cent of homes here were counted as a flat or apartment, so a first call often comes from a body corporate about a stack serving several floors.

Questions Kangaroo Point Asks Us
Call (07) 3522 3397Are the drains under Kangaroo Point really that old?
Parts of the riverside stormwater network were first dug in 1885 and 1886, so some lines under the low streets predate every building above them, which is why we send a camera down before planning any repair.
Who owns which pipe when a sewer blocks here?
Your side of the boundary is yours, a shared stack in a tower is the body corporate's, and the main under the road belongs to Urban Utilities, so we tell you which side of that line the choke sits.
Do the Main Street hotels block the shared sewers?
They contribute. Hotel kitchens and the surrounding restaurant trade send fat and food waste down the shared sewer toward the river, and a scheduled clean of those pipes costs far less than a flooded basement or a closed kitchen.
Does the steep ground change where blockages turn up?
Yes. Flow that races down the high streets slows on the flat ground by the river, so whatever the water carries drops out near the bottom of each slope, and that is where we look first.
Can you usually get a plumber out the same day?
Usually. An early call normally has someone over the bridge before dark, the price is agreed before any tool comes out, and you can pay by card or EFTPOS on the day.
