A Bush-Fringe Suburb Built in Two Waves
Upper Kedron kept its dairy farms and timber stands into the 2000s. The homes arrived in two waves: the early releases of that decade, then the Ellendale estate from 2016, taking the sloping lots against the national park.
At the last census the suburb counted 1779 dwellings, 99.7 per cent of them detached houses, and 88.3 per cent with four or more bedrooms.
What that means for plumbing:
- Young homes, tired tanks. The first wave of houses went up in the 2000s, and their hot water units are now the oldest working here in any number, timing out one by one, while rural-era properties out along Cedar Creek Road carry whatever tank a previous owner fitted.
- Fitting faults in patches. Several builders worked side by side in Ellendale's display village, so tapware, hoses and isolation valves change from street to street, and early faults turn up in patches rather than estate-wide.
- Slopes that move water. Steep lots on the ridge send roof and yard water downhill in a hurry, and where the piping was not laid to suit, the runoff scours batters, works under retaining walls and finishes in the yard below.
When the Storm Hits the Ridges
Both Cedar Creek and Kedron Creek start their run in this suburb, so when a storm breaks over the ridge, the runoff arrives in the estate drains within a few minutes. Three things then decide how your place fares:
Pits fill first
Downpipes and grated pits near the creek corridors are working flat out soon after the rain starts, and leaf screens clogged with bush litter spill the excess against the house wall.
Roots follow the joints
Retained bush and wildlife corridors back onto plenty of lots, and roots probe every joint that lets a little water escape in the sewer or stormwater lines.
Speed settles solids
Steep grades push sewer and stormwater flows along quickly, so silt and solids rush downhill and drop out wherever the gradient flattens, and that is where the blockage builds.
If a surcharging pit or a flooded garage is the problem on Brockman Drive or anywhere off Upper Kedron Road, blocked stormwater work is a regular call for us.

Upper Kedron Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4119Do hot water systems in Upper Kedron homes fail often?
Yes, the tanks that went in with the first 2000s housing wave are the oldest ones here in numbers, and they are due for replacement, while newer units work hard feeding big multi-bathroom households.
Why do stormwater pits overflow so fast here in a storm?
Because both creeks rise in this suburb, rain off the bush slopes reaches the estate drains within minutes, and the pits brim long before the downstream pipes can keep up.
Who owns the water and sewer pipes serving my block?
Urban Utilities looks after the public sewer and water mains beyond the connection at the street, while everything inside that boundary point is yours, and repairs there are our job.
Are tree roots a common cause of blocked drains in Upper Kedron?
Yes, many blocks here adjoin bushland that has been kept as habitat corridors, and roots find any joint in a sewer or stormwater line that lets moisture out, so we clear and camera them.
Is flood risk something to worry about on my street?
Only a scatter of properties, on Levitt Road, Ross Road, Windsor Drive and Canvey Road, sits within the 2022 creek flood extent, and the bigger worry is overland flow off the bush slopes.
