Pit and Gully Clearing
A yard pit that fills faster than it drains gets emptied of the silt and leaf litter choking it, which gives the next downpour somewhere to go instead of your lawn.

Stormwater Work on This Ground
Stormwater plumbing only proves itself when rain arrives hard, which is exactly when a choked pit or a silted run lets the yard down. We find where the flow has stalled and open it back up. The full range sits on our drain services page.
Where Run-Off Collects Here
The brook decides the outlet
Kedron Brook wraps the suburb's south and east, and when it runs high the outfalls on its bank sit underwater, so pits on the creek flats have nowhere to send their water.
The rises pass the problem down
Shallow soils on the higher streets shed a burst quickly, and the run-off gathers in the gutters and swales that carry it toward the brook.
The flood risk is creek-shaped
Council's mapping puts the creek flood planning area along that brook frontage, and the February 2022 floods included this suburb among the inundated. None of the 1893, 1974 or 2011 Brisbane River extents reached here, so creek and overland run-off is the exposure, not river backwater.
Stormwater Jobs We Handle
Blocked stormwater is its own trade, and six jobs make up most of the work:
Downpipe and Surface Drains
Water spilling from a downpipe shoe or pooling on paving points to a buried surface drain that has stopped, and flushing it through restores the fall so the paving dries again.
Jet Blasting Silted Lines
Stormwater pipes sit idle between storms and quietly collect sand, so hydro jetting scours the walls clean and returns the full pipe diameter before summer arrives.
Electric Eel for Root Mass
A matted root ball or compacted soil in a stormwater branch gives way to the electric eel's cutting head, which breaks the mass apart so run-off reaches the outlet again.
Stormwater Pipe Repairs
A cracked stormwater length lets groundwater seep in and silt settle, and repairing or relining that section stops the system feeding its own blockage year after year.
Camera Checks After Big Rain
When a yard floods every storm season, a CCTV drain inspection shows whether a sag, a shifted joint or a root mass is responsible, so the repair matches the real fault.

Blockages We See After Rain
Four patterns bring most of the stormwater calls in this suburb:
Yard Puddles That Linger
Run-off from the rises concentrates in the gutters and swales heading for the brook, and when those channels choke, water sits on Cowper Street and Richmond Street blocks instead of leaving.
Pits Surcharging Near the Brook
When Kedron Brook runs high, outfalls on the bank drop below the water line, so pits on the low ground cannot discharge and the surplus pushes back through household drains first.
Half-Empty Lines by November
A pipe that only runs during bursts collects leaf litter while it sits dry, and its capacity shrinks quietly until the first storm of the season finds it already part full.
Damp Piers Under the House
Raised timber homes carry plumbing below the floor, and heavy rain can find a broken stormwater length there, leaving wet subfloor soil that never quite dries between showers.
Why Book Before Storm Season
Stormwater faults cost little to fix early and a lot to ignore, for three reasons:
Standing water finds a way in
A line with no outlet holds every drop the roof and yard collect, and the pressure hunts out the weakest joint. Clearing the run before summer keeps it moving outward.
Silt only accumulates
Every burst leaves a little more sand behind in a pipe that drains slowly. Capacity lost this season stays lost next season unless someone clears it.
Seepage does slow damage
Water resting against piers and footings after each downpour works on timber and slab edges a dry block never notices. A sound, clear line keeps the subfloor dry.
How a Stormwater Clear Runs
Every job follows the same four steps, and you know the figure before anything starts.
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3067 4271, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
Price agreed before work
We find the cause, explain the fix and give you a fixed upfront price, and the work only starts once you agree to it.
- 3
Open the stormwater run
We jet or eel the line from the closest pit or downpipe shoe, driving the silt and root mass toward the outlet until the flow carries freely again.
- 4
Flow tested at the end
The line gets a full flush until it runs clear, and you see it draining properly before the plumber heads off.

Stormwater Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4271How does Gordon Park's ground change stormwater drainage?
The higher ground around Gympie Road sheds rain quickly while the flats near Kedron Brook receive run-off from every street above, so a Gordon Park stormwater line shows any narrowing the moment a storm hits.
What happens when Kedron Brook rises in a storm?
Outfalls along the brook frontage drop below the creek level during a flood, so street pits cannot drain and water backs into low yards, and clearing your line helps even though the creek sets the limit.
How is the price worked out for a stormwater clear?
Pipe depth, machine access, whether roots or silt caused the blockage, and if a camera run is needed all shape the quote, and you agree the fixed figure before any work starts.
Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Gordon Park block?
Roof and yard pipes on your block are yours to maintain, the street network sits with the City of Brisbane council, and Urban Utilities looks after the sewer side rather than stormwater.
Why does my yard near Kedron Brook flood every storm season?
A yard that floods every summer usually has a narrowed line, a sag holding silt or an outfall that drowns when the brook rises, and a camera run identifies which one it is.
