What Blocks Drains in Arana Hills
Arana Hills grew from the 1956 Camden Park estate, launched unsewered on low-priced blocks, so the drains here carry a longer history than most of the district.
Sewering arrived only in 1974
Drains laid around that changeover are now past fifty years old, and where they run as glazed clay, the joints sit close together and give roots and hillside silt an opening every metre or so.
The septic legacy lingers
Estate lots from 1956 went without sewers for nearly two decades, so some older yards still hide buried tanks and pipe runs nobody has on a plan.
Slopes speed water up, then dump it
On the climb up Plucks Road and along View Crescent, flows gain pace downhill, and the solids they carry settle out wherever the pipe levels near a boundary trap.
Creek lines feed the roots
Cabbage Tree Creek runs through the linear park, Kedron Brook marks the southern edge, and the Bunyaville forest and golf-course timber keep roots pressing on house drain joints year after year.
The plaza adds grease
Food traders around Arana Hills Plaza feed shared lines, and fat sets hard in the cooler lengths of pipe.
At the last census, Arana Hills counted 6971 residents across about 2500 dwellings, the great majority of them detached family homes from that 1960s and 1970s building era.
Drain Services for Arana Hills Homes
Every drain job in the suburb sits under one of six services, all booked through the drain services page:
- A pan that rises instead of emptying is a job for blocked toilets.
- Every fixture slowing at once points to the shared line, which is blocked sewer work.
- Water pooling around grates and downpipes after rain belongs with blocked stormwater.
- Slow sinks, showers and floor wastes get cleared under drain cleaning.
- A drain that keeps reblocking needs CCTV drain inspection to find the cause.
- Cracked, root-damaged or collapsed pipe is a job for drain repairs.
When the Storms Roll Through
Storm season is the pressure point here. The November 2008 thunderstorms tore through the suburb hard enough to bring the SES out in force, and the district averages around 1048 millimetres of rain a year.
Low corners go first
Council flood mapping takes in only a handful of streets, Nepean Avenue among them along with parts of Dawson Parade and Bunya Road, and a choked grate there backs water up fast.
The hillsides carry their own risk
A large share of local lots sits on slopes the council maps as landslide hazard, and a failed pipe or gutter on one of them sends water onto the property below.
Fixing drains before the next cell rolls through costs far less than cleaning up after it.

Arana Hills Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 5633Do the old septic tanks under Arana Hills yards cause drain problems?
The first Camden Park buyers had no sewer connection until 1974, so tanks and old pipe routes can still sit unmarked under lawns, and a camera run shows them before any digging starts.
Why do drains on the steeper streets like Plucks Road block where the ground flattens?
A steep run carries solids along easily, but when the fall eases near the boundary trap the flow loses its push, debris settles at that point and a choke builds over time.
Does stormwater flooding around Nepean Avenue mean my drain is blocked?
Runoff heading for Cabbage Tree Creek and Kedron Brook gathers in low corners in heavy rain, so water there can be overflow rather than a blockage, though a choked grate makes it worse.
Who looks after the sewer main past my property boundary?
The pipes from your house to the boundary connection are yours to maintain, while the main beyond it belongs to Unitywater, so faults in the main are theirs to fix.
What makes drains in Arana Hills different from newer suburbs?
Much of the housing went up in the 1960s and 1970s with drains laid around the 1974 sewering, so glazed clay in short jointed lengths and mature trees give roots plenty of entry points.
