Yard Gully Clears
Rods and water clear the gullies that take rain and washing-machine water, and we flush each line clean afterwards so the yard sheds water the way it was built to.

Stormwater Drains in Gordon Park
Stormwater is the roof and yard water, separate from the sewer, and it has one job: get rain to the brook. When that line blocks, the water stays on your property, and we clear it, whether that means rods, water or a camera check.
Why Stormwater Blocks Differ Here
The high streets shed, the low streets collect
Shallow, hard-setting soils up around the ridge near Gordon Park Playground Park on Khartoum Street, the estate's old shopping street, barely soak anything in, so a burst of rain runs off fast and every gutter and drain pit between there and the brook takes a share of the load.
The flats drain against a closed door
Yards near the Kedron Brook parklands sit almost level with the water they discharge into, and once the brook comes up there is no fall left, so those drains are the first to pond.
Old lines under old blocks
The 1890 and 1920 estate sales built out most of the suburb, and stormwater lines from that era still run earthenware in places, with a socketed joint every pipe length for washed-down silt to settle in.
The Stormwater Work We Do
From a single gurgling gully to a whole yard that ponds after every storm, this is the stormwater clearing our plumbers carry out:
Stormwater Pit Cleans
Pits at the low points of a garden or drive fill with sand and leaf mould across a storm season, and we clean them out and check the outlet pipe.
Downpipe Connections
Downpipes dumping at the foundation instead of into the line get reconnected, so roof water travels through the stormwater pipes rather than soaking the stumps of an old raised house.
Outfall and Line Checks
We trace the line from the yard to its outfall, clear whatever has packed it and confirm water runs the full length, which tells you the drain is genuinely fixed.

Common Stormwater Problems
Pools on the Lawn
Water sitting on the grass a day after rain means the line is part-blocked with silt or roots at a joint, and we clear it before it finds the undercroft.
Gurgling Yard Gullies
A gully that gurgles while rain runs is telling you the downstream line is restricted, so call before the next downpour finds the weak spot and backs the yard up.
Silt and Leaf Buildup
Storm season drops its sand and leaves into every pit and pipe, and a line that ran clean all winter can be packed solid by the end of March here.
Outfalls Under Water
When Kedron Brook rises, outfalls go under, so pits cannot discharge and low-side yards hold water until it drops, and blocked drains, blocked sewer and camera drain inspection pages cover that.
When the Brook Runs High
November to March is the test
The storm season here arrives as short, intense bursts, and long-run averages put annual rainfall around 1039 mm, most of it landing in those months.
The brook sets the ceiling
Kedron Brook follows the suburb's low southern and eastern side, and while it stays low the outfalls discharge freely; once it rises, the low side drains against a shut gate.
February 2022 proved it
The flood that year put ground along the brook's banks underwater, which is why ground-level laundries, garages and undercrofts on the flats are the assets worth checking after any heavy rain.
Why a Working Stormwater Drain Matters
A stormwater drain is the one part of your plumbing that only has to work when the weather is at its worst, which is exactly when a blockage does the most damage:
Water finds the undercroft
In a raised timber house, run-off pooling against the stumps soaks the undercroft and everything stored there. Cleared lines keep that space dry through the season.
Silt today, roots tomorrow
Silt that settles in a slow line is exactly where roots want to grow, and a soft blockage becomes a solid one within a season or two. Clearing early keeps the job simple.
The next storm will not wait
A drain that just survived one downpour is rarely ready for the next, and storm season here runs for months. We clear, flush and confirm flow so the line is ready, not just limping.

Blocked Stormwater Questions Answered
Call (07) 3524 7117Why do my yard drains back up when Kedron Brook runs high?
Once the creek comes up, the outfalls on its bank sit below the water, so the low-side pits have nowhere to run and yards there hold water until it falls.
Do the soils on Gordon Park's rises make stormwater blocking worse?
They do, because the shallow soils up on the ridge barely absorb a thing, so gutters and drains carry the lot and push silt into every pit and line on the way down.
Who owns the stormwater pipes at my Gordon Park property?
The pipes and pits inside your boundary are yours to look after, while Council maintains the street-side network, so we clear your lines and flag anything we find beyond them.
Can a blocked stormwater line flood my raised Gordon Park house?
It can, because February 2022 put the creek flats underwater, and water with nowhere to reach the brook backs up into undercrofts, laundries and garages on the low side there.
What changes the price of a stormwater clear in Gordon Park?
Access, how far the line runs and whether the block is loose silt or packed roots all count, and you see the figure in writing before we start any of it.
