Old Timber Houses on Steep Ground
Bardon carried the name Upper Paddington until the mid-1920s, and its stock runs interwar and earlier timber Queenslanders on stumps, with postwar weatherboard houses following once cars made the hill convenient. Census figures put 81.2 percent of dwellings as separate houses. That age and that slope shape most of the work here.
Old steel supply lines
Plenty of these timber houses predate copper plumbing, so galvanised pipe still runs under the floors, and rust scale keeps tightening the bore long before the line finally gives out. Weak pressure at the furthest tap is the usual giveaway.
Falls on every block
Simpsons Road rides the ridgeline, and the side streets plunge on both sides of it. House drains and downpipes must chase that grade to the connection, and solids settle out wherever a run levels off near a boundary.
Clay drains and roots
Houses from the interwar and postwar estates carry their waste in glazed clay drains with socket joints, and decades of hillside movement have eased those joints apart. Mature street trees and the native bushland where Paten Road meets the Mount Coot-tha Reserve push fine roots straight into the gaps.
Creek and storm exposure
The Brisbane River floods of 1974 and 2011 never reached this suburb. What does reach it is Ithaca Creek: council's February 2022 mapping puts creek water over low ground around Carwoola Street, Kamber Street and Fletcher Parade, and the November to March storm season sends water racing off the foothills.

Bardon Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4289Who looks after the water pipes at my Bardon place?
Urban Utilities maintains the mains and the public sewer under the street, while everything past the connection point on your property, including the meter tap, is yours as the owner to keep in repair.
Do the old galvanised pipes under my Bardon house need replacing?
Not straight away, though rust scale inside that old steel keeps tightening the bore until the furthest taps run weak, so we plan a staged repipe whenever a renovation opens the floors or walls.
Does Ithaca Creek flooding reach Bardon?
The 1974 and 2011 floods missed this suburb, though council's February 2022 mapping shows Ithaca Creek spilling across low ground near Carwoola Street and affecting Fletcher Parade, and the gullies run fast in storm season.
Why does my drain block in the same place every time?
Interwar and postwar houses carry waste in glazed clay lines socketed at each joint, and hillside movement has eased those joints apart, so roots and paper catch at the same offset until the pipe is repaired.
Can stormwater push back toward my house on a sloping block?
It can, because these short steep catchments shed storm rain toward Ithaca Creek in a rush, and a downpipe tied into an old yard drain on the low side can surcharge before the line below copes.
