Gully and Yard Drain Clearing
Gully and yard drain clearing: we lift the grate, clear the silt and leaf pack sitting in the trap, and run water through to confirm the whole line drains freely again.

Stormwater Drains That Hold Water
Roof water needs an exit, and when the line to the street or the creek is choked, the water finds your lawn instead. We find where the run stops and get it moving again.
Stormwater in a Suburb Built Beside a Creek
The February 2022 flood line runs through the low ground
Council's mapped extent covers flats near Burwood Road and Everton Park Link Road plus a section of Gordon Parade, so gullies and pipes there have held water higher than most suburbs see.
Overland flow paths matter more than the creek for most lots
Council maps them along Stafford Road and Holloway Drive, and the November to March storms send hail and torrential rain down those routes in a hurry.
Two soils, two problems
Shale on the ridges sheds water hard, while the alluvial ground near Kedron Brook holds it, so one storm can pool in one yard and race through the next.
Stormwater Services We Carry Out
Every part of the stormwater run gets covered, and the drain services page lists how each job fits the wider picture:
Downpipe and Roof Water Lines
Downpipe and roof water line work: a choked downpipe backs water into the eaves during a storm, so we clear the blockage and check where the run meets the yard system.
Jet Blasting for Stormwater Lines
Jet blasting for stormwater lines: high-pressure water strips silt, roots and debris off the pipe wall, which suits the longer runs that carry roof water toward Kedron Brook. See more on jet blasting.
Electric Eel Clearing
Electric eel clearing: the cutting head chews through root masses and hard packed silt in older lines, a useful method where a stormwater pipe runs under planted garden beds.
Stormwater Camera Inspections
Stormwater camera inspections: when a line blocks every wet season, a camera shows whether the fault is a sag, a crushed section or roots, so the fix targets the real cause. Details sit on our CCTV drain inspection page.
Repairs After the Clear
Repairs after the clear: where a stormwater pipe has cracked or collapsed, pipe repairs and relining are options we price separately, and you agree the cost before any digging starts.

Problems We Find in Yard Drains
Four turn up storm after storm:
Water Pooling Across the Lawn
Water pooling across the lawn: flat ground near the brook holds puddles long after rain, usually because the yard drain or gully trap is silted rather than because the soil is the problem.
Overflow at the Downpipe Shoe
Overflow at the downpipe shoe: leaves from mature gardens pack the base of the downpipe, and the fix is a clear plus a check that the line continues freely underground.
Silt Left After a Flood
Silt after a flood: when the February 2022 flood reached the low-lying lots, it left silt in pipes and gullies, and that layer keeps narrowing the bore until the line is properly cleaned.
Repeat Blocks Every Storm Season
Repeat blockages each storm season: roots find joints in decades-old stormwater lines just as they do sewer lines, and a repair or relining is what ends the yearly pattern.
Why Act Before the Next Storm
Three reasons the early call pays off:
Standing water finds weaknesses
It sits against slab edges and seeps under paths, and every wet week it works on pipe joints that were already ageing.
A blocked gully has nowhere to send runoff
The next big storm cell dumps water faster than the ground can take it, and it ends up against doors and in garages.
A clear costs far less than a flood
Carpet, skirtings and stored gear cost much more to replace than a drain clear, so the early call saves money overall.
How the Clearing Works
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3522 3397, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
Price set before we start
You hear what is causing the blockage and what fixes it, then get a fixed upfront price to approve before any work.
- 3
Clear and check the line
Once the gully or access point is open, we clear the blockage using the method that suits the pipe, then trace the path the water should follow.
- 4
Proof it's clear
We test the drain with running water until it flows freely and show you the result before leaving the job.

Stormwater Questions
Call (07) 3522 3397What does a blocked stormwater drain look like in Everton Park?
Puddles that sit on the lawn or driveway long after rain, a gully grate that fills during ordinary showers, or water backing against the downpipe shoe, all point to a choked stormwater line.
How much does clearing a stormwater drain cost in Everton Park?
The price depends on where the line sits, its material and what led to the blockage, and you agree a fixed upfront price with us before any work begins.
Does Urban Utilities handle stormwater drains?
No, the sewerage side belongs to Urban Utilities, so a blocked stormwater line on your block is a plumbing job, and our plumbers clear it and price the fix before starting.
How does Kedron Brook affect stormwater drains near Burwood Road?
When the brook rises over the flats, the outfall level holds water back and gully traps overflow with no pipe fault at all, so we check the creek's height before blaming your line.
Can jet blasting clear roots from a stormwater line?
Yes, high-pressure water cuts fine roots and silt off the pipe wall and flushes them out, though roots regrow into damaged joints, so a camera inspection shows whether a repair is worth pricing.
