Stormwater Drains Under Pressure
When a storm hits this hillside, every litre on your roof and yard needs somewhere to go, and a single silted grate can send it back towards the house instead. A clear line gives the water the path it was built to take. For the rest of what we do, see drain services.
Why Stormwater Blocks Here
Creeks through the southern blocks
Council's flood overlay tracks the South Pine River and the creeks feeding it, and homes near Rivergum Drive and Confluence Court see yard drains struggle when those channels fill and push back the other way.
Steep western falls
Run-off from the acreage lots races downhill and arrives at the low gullies in a rush, dragging leaf litter and street grit straight into the pipe with it. Drain cleaning flushes that grit out, and a camera inspection shows where it keeps lodging.
A storm-heavy wet season
Most of the suburb's 1,069 millimetres of annual rain lands in the warm months, so the lines that cope fine in July get found out the first time a February cell parks overhead.
Stormwater Work We Cover
Every job starts with finding where the water stops, then the right tool clears it:
Pit And Gully Clearing
Blocked pits and gully grates get cleared out by hand and machine, so sheeting rain drains off your yard instead of backing up against the slab during a summer storm.
Downpipe And Surface Line Flushing
Downpipe lines that overflow at the shoe are flushed through end to end, which restores the fall and keeps water moving away from the footings when the next storm hits.
Hydro Jetting The Line
Hydro jetting scours silt, leaf litter and root hairs off stormwater pipe walls, leaving the bore smooth so the next downpour washes through instead of snagging a fresh blockage.
Tracing Where Water Stops
A CCTV inspection traces the full stormwater run to the exact spot water stops moving, which means the clearing effort goes where the problem sits instead of wherever guesswork points on the day.
Clearing Long Slope Runs
Long pipe runs down steep western blocks get cleared with the fall in mind, because run-off gathers speed and a clear gully at the bottom is what keeps the yard dry.
Repairing Damaged Stormwater Pipes
Cracked or crushed stormwater pipes get repaired, either dug and replaced or relined where access is tight, so the line carries storm flow for the long haul rather than leaking under the lawn.

Common Stormwater Blockages
Four problems turn up on this hillside more than any others:
Water Pooling Near The Slab
Ponding near the slab after rain usually means a pit, grate or downpipe line has silted up somewhere between the roof and the gully, and a proper clear puts the fall back in a hurry.
Gully Coping Until A Real Storm
A gully that copes with drizzle but floods in a proper storm is running close to capacity, and built-up sediment or a partial blockage downstream is stealing the flow area it needs.
Grit Washing In After Rain
Grit and gravel washing into low grates after a downpour settles in the pipe and shrinks it a little more each season, which is why lines that were fine last summer suddenly struggle.
Roots Inside Stormwater Pipes
Trees along the bush corridors push fine roots into pipe joints chasing moisture, and once a mat forms inside, storm flow snags on it, so clearing plus a proper seal stops the cycle.
Why Clearing Matters
Standing water looks for a way in
Water parked against footings and slab edges during a wet season eventually finds a crack or a door threshold. Getting the line clear before the storms arrive is the painless version of that story.
Silt never shrinks back
Every season's grit and root hair narrows the pipe a little further, and the gully that flooded once will flood faster the next time. A proper clean resets the capacity instead of buying you one more storm.
The river sets the deadline
The old South Pine Bridge at Cashs Crossing rode out the great 1893 flood, and the audits after the 2022 floods listed a single home here undamaged, but your yard drains still have to carry their share when the creek arms rise.

Stormwater Questions and Answers
Call (07) 3522 5633Why do yard drains flood so fast on the western slopes of Eatons Hill?
Run-off gathers speed down the steep ground and arrives at the lower gullies all at once, so a grate carrying a little silt has no spare capacity left when the storm peaks.
Does the South Pine River affect stormwater drains near Rivergum Drive?
It can, because Council's flood hazard mapping follows the watercourses past the southern blocks, and when those channels rise during a wet season, yard drains there get pushed back on.
Who is responsible for the stormwater drain on my property?
Pipes inside your boundary are yours to maintain, while Unitywater looks after the sewer network and Council handles the street drainage, so working out which side of the line the fault sits matters.
How much rain falls on Eatons Hill during the storm season?
The suburb averages 1,069 millimetres a year, weighted towards the storm-heavy wet season, and that concentration is exactly when silted pits and half-blocked downpipe lines run out of room and start backing up.
Can a blocked stormwater drain cause damage beyond a wet lawn?
It can, because water ponding against footings and slabs finds its way inside over time, and clearing the line before the wet season beats drying out a flooded garage or rumpus room.
