Blocked Stormwater: What We Actually Do
Stormwater is the rain side of your drainage: everything that carries water off the roof and paving before it can get into the house. This is the work that keeps it moving.
Gully pits and grates. Lifting out leaf litter, silt and debris, and scraping pits back to their full depth.
Downpipe connections. Clearing the junction where roof water enters the underground line, the spot most leaf blockages choose.
Channel and strip drains. Driveway and courtyard grates that overflow across paving instead of draining it.
Underground stormwater lines. Jetting silt and sediment out of the buried runs that carry water to the street.
Surface flooding calls. Working out why water pools where it does, then fixing the cause rather than the puddle.
Six Signs Your Drains Are Asking for Help
Stormwater problems show themselves in the weather. If any of these look familiar, the system needs attention before the next big front arrives.
- Water sits around a gully grate during rain and takes hours to disappear after
- A downpipe overflows at the top while the rain is still falling
- The lawn stays spongy days after the sky has cleared
- The channel drain across the driveway sends water over it instead of under
- Damp smells or water marks are appearing at the base of walls after storms
- Water is backing up out of indoor fixtures, which is a blocked sewer problem rather than stormwater
A blockage that returns after every clean has a cause nobody has seen yet. A CCTV drain inspection finds it.
Blocked Stormwater in Randwick Homes
Randwick sits high, roughly 76 metres up on the ridge between the coast and Centennial Park. Heavy rain does not linger up top; it races off roofs and paving to the lowest corner of each block, and whatever pit sits there takes the full load.
The unit blocks off High Street show the other half of the story. Buildings from the 1960s and 70s still drain through their original stormwater runs, and decades of leaf litter and silt narrow those pipes long before anyone thinks to look inside.
Put a summer downpour on top of a half-closed pit at the bottom of a sloping yard, and that is the afternoon we get the call.
Blocked Stormwater Pricing: What Moves the Quote
Stormwater jobs range from a ten-minute grate clean to relining a crushed line, so the quote follows the fault. These are the levers.
- Where the blockage sits, at the grate you can see or metres along the buried run
- How deep the pit is, since pits at the low corner of a sloped block sit well below the ones near the street and take longer to reach
- The silt load, one autumn's leaves or years of compacted sediment
- Whether the pipe itself is cracked, crushed or root-affected rather than just full
- What the camera turns up once the water is gone
You always get the diagnosis and a fixed written price before work starts. No meter running, no surprises on the invoice.
How the Job Runs and How Long It Takes
- Trace the water. We find where the flow actually stops, using the camera where the fault is out of sight, and tell you plainly what is going on.
- Clear the system. Pits are emptied and scraped, and the jetter scours the underground run back to clean pipe.
- Fix any damage. Cracked or root-hit sections get a proper repair, priced and approved by you before we touch them.
- Test and tidy. Water goes through the whole system while we watch it drain away properly, and the yard is left as we found it.
Most single-pit or grate cleans are done inside an hour. Jetting a long silted run can take half a day, and you will know the realistic window before we start.
Licensed, Insured and Accountable
Stormwater feels like outdoor work anyone could have a crack at, but the buried side of it is licensed plumbing in NSW, the same as the sewer.
We hold Lic #292427C and carry full insurance across both water and gas work. If our clearing or repair work is ever questioned, by a council, a strata manager or a neighbour downhill, the paperwork and the workmanship both stand up.
The Difference on a Blocked Stormwater Job
Plenty of stormwater callouts turn out to be simple, and we say so. If a grate clean is all it needs, that is what you are quoted, and we will tell you exactly what's wrong before anyone talks money.
That honesty is why the reviews read the way they do. Arthur's said the team delivered exactly what was promised, and that he would book them again without hesitation.
You get the same treatment whether the fix is ten minutes or two days.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
We clear stormwater across Randwick and the surrounding suburbs, with Clovelly, Coogee and Maroubra all on the regular run. For silt that builds up slowly rather than blocking outright, drain cleaning is the maintenance option, and blocked drain repair covers pipes the weather has actually broken.

Good questions, straight answers
Your Blocked Stormwater FAQs
Straight answers to the stormwater questions we hear most from local homeowners.
Can tree roots be removed from a drain without digging?
Usually, yes. A cutting head on the jetter or the eel slices the roots out through the pipe itself, and relining afterwards seals the entry point so they cannot grow back in.
How long does blocked stormwater take?
A single grate or gully clean is often under an hour. Jetting a silted underground run takes longer, and we give you a realistic window once the camera shows what we are dealing with.
Can you do blocked stormwater in Randwick the same day I call?
In most cases, yes. Stormwater rarely waits for a convenient time, so the roster is built to get someone out the day you ring, and calling while it is still raining actually helps us find the fault.
Do you offer blocked stormwater after hours or on weekends?
Yes, storms do not check the calendar and neither do we. The phones are answered around the clock by a real person, who books the visit then and there.
Do you charge a call-out fee for blocked stormwater?
No. There is a $0 call-out fee on every stormwater job, so having us out to look and quote costs you nothing at all.
How much does blocked stormwater cost?
That depends on where the blockage sits, how deep the pit or line runs and whether the pipe is damaged. The diagnosis comes before any quoting, then it is a fixed price before we start.
