Stormwater Pit Clearing
Silt and leaf litter pack stormwater pits and strip drains until runoff has nowhere to go, and a proper clear gets roof water moving again before the next downpour.

Stormwater Drains on the Everton Hills Slopes
Rain on a hill block has to leave quickly, and the pipes carrying it sit under more load than most. We keep those lines clear so the next storm cell finds capacity instead of your garage floor. Stormwater sits alongside the other five services on our drain services page.
What Clogs Stormwater Lines Here
Council's overland flow paths cross these slopes
The mapping runs over the hillsides between Cabbage Tree Creek and Kedron Brook, so pits and downpipes take the full load whenever a severe cell sits over the suburb.
The forest edge feeds the gutters
Trees along the Bunyaville Forest Reserve boundary drop leaf litter that strip drains catch, and the first pit downhill is where it packs down.
The rain figure here is real
At the last census-period average of 1048mm a year, most of it arriving in the November to March thunderstorm season, a half-silted line has no spare capacity.
Thin soil over Bunya Phyllite
Drains through the 1965 and 1975 estates were bedded in stony ground, and settled bedding cracks joints that roots then use.
That is where Everton Hills Blocked Drain Services comes in.
Stormwater Services We Carry Out
Stormwater work covers everything that carries rain off your block, and each job gets the method it needs:
Downpipe and Gutter Outlet Clearing
A choked downpipe sends water over the eaves and back toward the wall cavities, and clearing the outlet keeps a summer storm out of your ceiling where damage gets expensive.
Jet Blasting Stormwater Lines
High pressure water scours silt, leaf litter and root hairs off the pipe wall, leaving the run with full capacity for the first big cell of the season.
Root Cutting in Stormwater Runs
Fine roots creep through older joints along the creek reserves and get cut back and flushed out, and we show you the entry point so it can be watched or sealed.
CCTV Stormwater Inspections
Running a camera along a blocked run shows the silt bar, the crushed section or the root mat on screen, so the fix targets the real cause the first time.
Stormwater Pipe Repairs
Where a stormwater pipe has cracked or collapsed under settled fill on a hillside block, we repair or reline the damaged length so runoff keeps moving even in the wettest summer.

Wet Weather Problems We See
These are the calls we get most once a big cell crosses the hills:
Water Pooling in the Yard
Water pooling on the lawn long after the rain has stopped usually means a strip drain or pit has silted up, and clearing it restores the fall so the yard dries.
Gutters Spilling in a Downpour
Gutters that spill in a downpour often hide a blocked downpipe below, and clearing that line keeps sheets of water off the eaves and away from your footings.
Flooding Near the Creeks
Homes near Cabbage Tree Creek or Kedron Brook sit lowest in the catchment, so when an upstream line silts up the runoff has nowhere to go and your yard wears it.
The Line That Blocks Every Summer
A stormwater line that backs up every wet season usually has a structural fault holding silt, and a camera inspection shows whether a repair will finally end the cycle.
Why Clear It Before Storm Season
A slow stormwater line is worth fixing before November, and here's why:
Water that cannot get away finds its own path
Runoff pooling against footings or seeping under a house does damage no drain repair ever undoes. A clear line keeps it in the pipe where it belongs.
Silt never improves with age
Every storm packs more debris into a struggling line, so a pit that overflows once will overflow sooner next time. Clearing it early means less work, not more.
Storm season is a deadline
From November the cells arrive with little warning, and a pre-season clear means the first big one tests the pipes rather than the floor coverings.
How a Stormwater Job Runs
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3523 7146, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
A fixed price first
Once the cause is clear we explain the fix and quote a fixed upfront price, and nothing starts until you say yes.
- 3
Clear the stormwater run
We open the pit or inspection point, cut or jet the blockage out, then flush the run hard so silt and roots leave the pipe instead of settling further down.
- 4
Checked and cleared
Water runs through the line until it drains freely, and you see the result for yourself before we go.

Stormwater is a different animal to a blocked pan, and it is the job we gear up for all summer. Where clearing shows the pipe itself is cracked or crushed, drain repairs is the next step, and a CCTV drain inspection finds the cause before we quote. For the sewer side of the system, see blocked sewer instead.
Where the Stormwater Run Reaches
The same stormwater work takes Everton Hills Blocked Drain Services through Bunya, McDowall, Everton Park, Mitchelton and Keperra. A storm cell over the Hills District hits every one of those suburbs the same way, so the whole run gets the same treatment.
Stormwater Questions
Call (07) 3523 7146What blocks stormwater drains in Everton Hills?
Silt, leaf litter and fine roots do most of it, especially in the 1960s and 1970s estate lines where shifted joints give roots an entry and thin soil lets bedding settle.
Does the Bunyaville Forest Reserve edge make stormwater blockages worse?
Yes, because trees along the reserve drop leaves and needles that wash into gutters and pits, and a line already carrying debris chokes quickly once the summer storms start each wet season.
What does clearing a blocked stormwater line cost in Everton Hills?
Access to the pit, the length of the run and whether roots or plain silt caused it all matter, and the fixed figure is settled with you before we start.
Who looks after the stormwater pit on my block?
The downpipes, pits and strip drains on your block are yours to maintain, while the street drainage network sits with the City of Moreton Bay, and we clear the residential side.
Why does my yard flood near Cabbage Tree Creek every summer?
Houses near the creek sit low in the catchment, so a silted line upstream of you has nowhere to send water and the yard cops the overflow first every summer.
