Focused on private stormwater problems
This page is for outdoor stormwater and rainwater drainage issues, not general kitchen, bathroom, or sewer drain problems. That focus matters because the symptoms, equipment, and responsibility questions are different.
Stormwater unblocking may involve
- Checking grates, channels, and catchpits for surface debris.
- Clearing leaves, mud, roots, and silt from private stormwater lines.
- Hydro jetting when the blockage is deeper in the pipe.
- CCTV inspection when the drain blocks repeatedly or damage is suspected.
When to act quickly
Call sooner if water is moving toward a garage, basement, entry, electrical area, retaining wall, or neighbouring property. The same blockage can become more expensive once water enters a building or saturates the ground.
