The numbers behind the calls. The last census tallied 453 dwellings and 1,552 people in the locality, with 96.2 per cent of its homes separate houses and 69.8 per cent holding four or more bedrooms.
That means big houses on big blocks, and the plumbing that goes with them.
The Jobs We Get Called To Here
Most calls from these roads start with the property's own systems rather than a town connection:
Septic tanks and effluent fields
Unitywater's sewered records here cover little beyond the Pine Crest estate, so every other block runs its own tank and trenches, and a full tank or a dead pump is a regular booking.
Hot water on tank or bore supply
Sediment and leaf tannins from rain tanks and bores work through hot water units, and long pipe runs to far bathrooms expose a worn tank on a cold hill night.
Blocked drains in reactive clay
The clay under these hills swells and shrinks season by season, which shifts buried lines and cracks joints between house and tank.
Roots in the effluent runs
Bush blocks keep their canopy, and feeder roots hunt the damp ground near pump sheds, tank overflows and the poly lines running between buildings.
Where the Water Sits
Slopes here drop fast into narrow creek flats, and council's flood overlay rates parts of Moore Road and Forbes Road as high hazard, with medium ratings on sections of Browns Road, Lakeside Road and the Mick Hanfling Park access.
Two drainage traps follow from that ground:
Hillside trenches
Any effluent trench running along a hillside collects the sheet of runoff shed by the ground above it, so a line that coped in the dry months can give up after a long wet spell.
Creek-flat trenches
Groundwater sits shallow on the flats between the hills, so a soakage trench dug there can flood and stop absorbing effluent entirely.
Both problems are diagnosable, and both are fixable.

Kurwongbah Questions
Call (07) 3067 4119Who looks after the water and sewer mains in Kurwongbah?
The public mains and the sewer connection serving the Pine Crest estate are maintained by Unitywater, but piping within your own side of that boundary is the owner's.
Why do so many homes here run on septic tanks rather than town sewer?
Unitywater lists only the Pine Crest estate among its sewered lots here, so the acreage blocks along Narangba and Browns roads each run their own tank and effluent trenches.
Can tree roots really get into my effluent lines?
They can, because most of the locality sits under koala habitat and environmental significance mapping, and fine feeder roots thread straight into the joints of older effluent runs before thickening into a full choke.
Why is my hot water only a slow trickle at the far end of the house?
Big homes on big blocks carry long pipe runs, and a tank fed from rainwater or a bore collects sediment that shortens element life, so a tired unit usually explains the lukewarm trickle.
Is any part of the locality flood prone?
Council's flood mapping flags parts of Browns Road as medium hazard, with high hazard areas along stretches of Moore Road and along Forbes Road, and it directs owners to the Flood Viewer for the current picture.
