How Kedron Brook Affects Drainage in Gordon Park
Being right next to the Kedron Brook Parklands means Gordon Park’s drains are influenced by the creek. When the brook runs high during heavy rain it can slow or stop stormwater from leaving the neighbourhood which is why some streets flood while others stay dry. Knowing this link makes it easier to understand local drainage problems.
Water Pooling in Low Spots
Some streets in Gordon Park sit lower than the rest, so water naturally collects there during heavy rain. If storm drains are blocked or the brook is high, these low spots can turn into temporary ponds that last for hours and sometimes push water back into floor drains and toilets.
Old Pipes on Main Roads
The pipes under many main roads were put in decades ago and weren’t built for today’s heavier rainfall and extra runoff. Older clay and early PVC pipes can crack or be invaded by tree roots, which makes them more likely to block or fail during storms.
Leaves and Debris from the Parklands
Kedron Brook Parklands drops a lot of leaves, branches and organic matter into nearby drains. That natural debris mixes with street runoff and can clog pits, culverts and pipes reducing how much water the system can cope with in a downpour.
Extra Runoff from Nearby Shops
Big hard surfaces around Lutwyche Shopping Centre and along Park Road send more water into Gordon Park’s drains than a typical residential area. That extra commercial runoff puts extra strain on older pipe networks and can lead to more frequent backups and flooding.
CCTV Checks for Gordon Park’s Older Pipes Systems
Many of Gordon Park’s pipes are getting on in years, so regular checks help catch problems before they become costly. Our CCTV cameras let us look inside pipes without digging up gardens or lawns, so we can find cracks, blockages and other issues quickly and with minimal disruption.
What We Check
- Old pipe condition: We inspect both older clay pipes and aging PVC lines across Gordon Park to spot cracks, split joints or sections that are breaking down.
- Tree root problems: With so many mature trees, roots can sneak into pipes. Our CCTV drain camera inspections work shows exactly where roots are growing in and how much they’re blocking the pipe.
- Can the pipes cope?: We check whether the existing pipe network can handle today’s water flows including extra runoff from nearby retail strips and Lutwyche shopping areas — and flag spots that may need upgrading.
Drain Cleaning & Pipe Repair Gordon Park
After big storms, Gordon Park homes often need professional cleaning to clear leaves, mud and other debris that comes from the nearby Kedron Brook parklands and busy shopping areas. We use high-pressure hydro-jetting and proven repair methods to get drains flowing again and stop repeat problems.
Clearing Park Debris
Leaves, twigs and organic rubbish from Kedron Brook Parklands can build up in pits and pipes. Our hydro-jetting blasts this material out so water can move away from your property properly which helps prevent backups and street flooding after heavy rain.
Cleaning Runoff from Shops
Water running off Lutwyche Shopping Centre and Park Road can bring grit, litter and other nasties into residential drains. We clean those mixed blockages with equipment designed to handle both commercial and household debris so your drains keep working.
Relining Old or Damaged Pipes
When pipes are cracked, worn or repeatedly blocked, relining is a long-lasting fix. Instead of digging up your yard, we insert a new lining inside the old pipe to restore strength and flow — and stop roots and breaks from causing more trouble.
Strong, Lasting Pipe Repairs
For pipes with structural damage, we install resin liners that rebuild the pipe from the inside. The new lining resists root intrusion and handles higher water flows a permanent solution that keeps drains working as the area develops.
Bigger Pipe Capacity Options
If your street has undersized pipes, we can increase capacity by fitting larger pipes or improving connections so your property copes better with modern rainfall and extra runoff from nearby shops and roads.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing Gordon Park

Quick Pooling Response
We bring portable pumps and temporary drainage to remove standing water from streets and yards, restoring safe access to your property as fast as possible.

Maintenance Tips for Gordon Park Residents
Living near Kedron Brook Parklands and aging infrastructure requires proactive maintenance to prevent drainage problems and protect your property from flooding and system failures.
- Monitor Kedron Brook water levels: Keep an eye on brook conditions during heavy rainfall forecasts. If water levels are rising rapidly, be prepared to move valuables to higher areas and avoid driving through areas prone to surface water pooling.
- Clear parkland debris regularly: Remove leaves, branches, and organic matter from your property's drainage points before storm season. Properties near the parklands collect more natural debris than other residential areas.
- Schedule regular pipe inspections: If your home has aging clay or PVC lateral pipes, annual CCTV inspections can identify deterioration and root intrusion before they cause major blockages or structural failures.
- Know your low-lying risk areas: Understand which parts of your property are most prone to surface water pooling and have a plan for protecting valuable items during storm events that affect brook water levels.
- Report commercial runoff issues: If you notice unusual debris or contamination that might be coming from commercial areas upstream, report it to authorities and have your residential systems checked for damage.
