How Do You Know It Is Stormwater?
Stormwater has its own set of symptoms, and they show up while it is raining or straight after:
- Grates overflowing in the yard or flooding across a driveway during a downpour
- Water ponding around a downpipe or at the base of a slope long after the rain has passed
- A damp, spongy patch of lawn that never quite dries out near the line's path
- Gurgling from a floor waste or an outdoor grate while the washing machine empties
With the pipe choked, rain backs up at the lowest grate, and blocks on the low land by the creek catchment show it first.
From Ring to Running Grates

A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead. 3. The jetter scours the line from the nearest access point, flushing silt and leaf litter out to the boundary while the camera follows behind to confirm the full run is clear.

Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
Roots that have returned are dealt with through tree root removal, and a cracked stormwater pipe can be sleeved through pipe relining. The method itself sits on the drain jetting page, and the full list of drain faults is on the blocked drains hub. A sewer backing up into the house is a different fault and gets its own page.
What Drives the Price of a Stormwater Clear?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
Four things shape the figure:
- Where the line discharges, since a run out to the kerb takes more hose than a short spur to a soakage pit
- What is holding it, since silt flushes faster than a root mat wedged in a joint
- Access, because a line under a concrete path or a raised deck is slower to reach than an open yard
- After-hours timing, which carries the after-hours rate
The Ground That Decides How the Line Behaves
Low ground by the creek
Old pipes, more roof
"[The team] have done an outstanding job at my mother's rental property. The area they worked on was particularly challenging, as it retained water and had become extremely muddy and boggy… The transformation has been remarkable." Nandina
When We're Not the Right Call
Kerb inlets, road pits and the pipes under the street are council assets, so a flooded gutter out front goes to Lake Macquarie council. Our work stops at your kerb outlet.
Questions From Speers Point Yards
Why do stormwater drains block in Speers Point?
Three things choke them here, starting with leaf litter and silt carried in off roofs and paving, then roots through old clay joints, and low land toward Cockle Creek that sheds water slowly in heavy rain. Footage from inside the pipe tells us which one you are dealing with.
Is a grate flooding my yard during a storm an emergency?
It can be when water is entering the house. Isolate what you can and keep people clear of the standing water, then ring (02) 4093 0558 straight away. A puddle that soaks away soon after the rain stops is a weekday booking.
Do you check the pipe after clearing a stormwater line?
Yes. After the jetter, a camera run from grate to kerb outlet shows whether silt is still sitting in a sag and whether a cracked length was hidden behind the blockage. You watch that footage with the plumber on site.
Can gutter guards help a stormwater line that keeps blocking?
They can, where leaves off the roof are the main culprit. Guards keep the bulk of the leaf load out of the downpipes, which slows the silt build-up in the line below. We quote them on the same visit as the clear.
