Gully and Grate Clearing
Yard gullies and surface grates fill with leaves and silt after summer storms, and clearing them lets rainwater get off your paving and lawn again before the next downpour.

Stormwater Drains Explained
These are the pipes that carry rain off your roof, driveway and yard out to the street, and they choke with leaves, silt and roots. When they stop, water has nowhere to go except across your paving. The full range sits on our drain services page.
Low Ground, Big Storms
The Toombul flats sit low
The ground beside Schulz Canal took the February 2022 flood, and the mapped extent also reaches Widdop Street, Hedley Avenue and Nudgee Road, so stormwater lines on those streets work the hardest.
The ridge sheds fast
Run-off from the high ground around Nundah Village arrives at the low drains quickly during storm-heavy summers, which is when undersized or partly choked lines give up.
Flood-plain soil holds water
Alluvial ground along Kedron Brook and Schulz Canal keeps groundwater near the surface, so a leaking stormwater pipe soaks the yard instead of quietly draining away.
Stormwater Services We Provide
Every stormwater job we take on, from the surface grate to the pipe leaving the block, is covered:
Downpipe and Driveway Drains
Downpipe and driveway drains that back up during a storm get a proper clear, so roof run-off reaches the street network instead of pooling against your slab or garage.
Jet Blasting Silt and Roots
High-pressure jet blasting scours silt, mud and fine roots off the walls of the stormwater line, which restores full flow and buys you a drain that copes with the next wet season.
Electric Eel Clearing
The electric eel cuts through harder blockages in older rigid pipe without damaging it, so a solid choke in a cottage-era line is removed cleanly and the water runs off again.
Camera Checks on Stormwater
A CCTV drain inspection shows exactly where a stormwater line is silted, crushed or root-bound, so you pay for the right fix instead of repeated clears that never quite solve the problem.
Repairs to Broken Pipe
Cracked or collapsed stormwater pipe is replaced or relined where it suits through drain repairs, so run-off stops leaking into the alluvial ground and undermining paths, paving or footings around your place.

Common Stormwater Blockages
These are the blockage patterns we find most often behind stormwater calls on this side of Brisbane's north:
Puddles That Will Not Drain
Water that sits on the lawn or driveway for days after rain points to a choked line, and clearing it gets the ground drying out normally again between storms.
Gullies Overflowing in a Storm
A gully that bubbles over while rain is still falling means the pipe below cannot take the flow, and a clear restores the spare capacity you need for the next burst of rain.
Sand and Silt After Floodwater
Silt left behind when canal-adjacent ground floods settles into the low points of a stormwater run, and jetting it out stops the line holding water where it used to flow freely.
Roots in Older Terrace Pipe
Fine roots enter ageing joints looking for moisture, and once they mat together they trap leaf litter, so a stormwater line that was fine for years suddenly floods the yard.
If what is backing up smells like wastewater rather than rainwater, that is a blocked sewer job instead.
Why Fast Stormwater Clearing Matters
A blocked stormwater line is not just a puddle problem. Here is what it turns into:
Standing water finds weaknesses
Water lying against a slab or footing for days after a storm seeps into joints and softens the ground under paving. Clearing the line quickly keeps that from starting.
A choked gully backs up indoors
When the yard gully is full, the next downpour has only one place left to go. That is usually the lowest drain or door in the house.
Silt gets worse each storm
Every flood event drops more sediment into a partly blocked line. Clearing it early costs far less than digging up a run left to fail.

Clear and confirm
We clear the stormwater line with jetting or the eel, then run water through it to confirm the blockage is gone and the fall carries properly.

Stormwater Drain Questions Answered
Call (07) 3524 0742What usually blocks a stormwater drain in Nundah?
Leaf litter, garden soil washed off the ridge and fine roots in older joints are the usual culprits, with silt washing in wherever ground sits low beside Schulz Canal.
Does the flood history near the Toombul flats change the work?
The February 2022 flood mapped across several low streets here, so stormwater lines on that ground are checked for flood silt and shifted pipe rather than cleared blindly.
Who fixes the stormwater pipe on my Nundah property?
Pipes inside your boundary that carry rainwater off your own roof and yard are yours to maintain, while the street network beyond them is the council's responsibility to look after.
Can a blocked stormwater line affect my sewer drains in Nundah?
They are separate systems, but a stormwater line overflowing across a yard can hide a sewer problem too, so we check both when drainage misbehaves after heavy summer rain.
What are the warning signs of a blocked stormwater line?
Water pooling on paving, gullies glugging during every rain and downpipes overflowing at the shoe all point to a choke, and the sooner it is cleared the less damage follows.
