What Chokes a Stormwater Line on This Coast?
Rainwater pipes carry whatever wind and rain throw at them, so they block differently from sewers:
- Dune sand blown into cracked gullies close to the beach
- Roots from the native scrub near the Awabakal Reserve working into old joints
- Silt and leaves off the roof settling in the dips of a long pipe
- Outlets near the beach that cannot drain while a storm swell sits against them
Two of those at once can fill a pipe in one storm. Other drain faults are on the blocked drains page.
How Do We Get the Yard Draining Again?
- 01
Trace the hold-up
We check the gullies, pits and the outlet to find which length of pipe is blocked.
- 02
Clear it
Sand and silt suit drain jetting, and a tight root plug may need the electric eel first.
- 03
Film it
A CCTV drain inspection after the clear shows sound walls or a crack letting sand in.
- 04
Price any repair
You see the footage, and any further repair is quoted before it is done.
Roots that keep returning point to tree root removal, and a pipe beyond clearing to pipe relining. A smell and backed-up toilets on a dry day is a blocked sewer, not stormwater.
What Sets a Stormwater Price?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
A stormwater price starts with where the water should end up:
- How far the outlet is, as a pipe running the length of the block to a kerb or beach outlet takes longer
- What is blocking it: silt flushes quickly, while root mass or a crushed length is more work
- Pits and pipe under paving or decks that are hard to reach
- Night or weekend attendance, at the higher rate

What Customers Say
[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.
When We're Not the Right Call
A rotten fascia or broken roof tiles letting water in are for a roofer, and drain work will not stop that. Leaves clogging the gutters are better stopped at the roof with gutter guards, and water coming inside fast is an emergency plumber call.

Common Stormwater Questions
Why does my Redhead yard flood even in moderate rain?
A part-blocked pipe is the likely cause. Silt, sand or fine roots narrow it until ordinary rain backs up and spills out of the lowest gully. Filming the pipe shows whether flushing it will do, or whether a crack is feeding in more sand.
Can you jet a stormwater line all the way to the beachfront outlet?
Yes, if the pipe is intact. The jetter works from the gully down to the outlet, and we film the outlet end to prove water is leaving. A crushed section near the dunes gets priced for repair or relining, because flushing a broken pipe does not last.
Is a surcharging stormwater drain in Redhead an emergency?
If water is rising toward the house or near power points, yes, so ring us because we are Available 24/7. A boggy patch of lawn on a dry day can wait for a weekday booking. Both get a fixed price before work starts.
Do you also clear the gutters feeding the stormwater line?
We clear downpipes and the pipes underground, and we fit gutter guards so leaves stop reaching the drains. Sagging gutters or rotten fascia boards are a roofer's repair, not a plumbing one.
