Stormwater blockage clearing in the northern Illawarra

Stormwater pipes carry rain from your roof and yard away from the house. When they block, water has nowhere to go. You see it pooling against walls, overflowing from downpipes, or sitting in the yard long after the rain stops. Over time that can cause damp, erosion and damage to foundations.

Common causes

Leaves, sticks and soil washed off the roof and garden are the usual culprits, especially in leafy streets near the escarpment. Tree roots can also find their way into older pipes, and pipes can crack or collapse under driveways and paths.

How we fix it

We find the blockage, clear the line and pits, and flush the system to make sure water is running freely to the kerb or the drainage point. If the pipe is damaged, we explain what we found and quote for the repair before doing anything further.
