Yard drain clearing
Standing water over a yard drain clears quickly once the line is jetted or eeled through, because a free-running outlet handles the next downpour without spilling across the lawn again.

Stormwater Drains That Back Up
When a stormwater line fails, the water has nowhere to go but across the yard or under the floor. On slopes like these, it arrives fast and in volume, so the fix cannot wait for a dry week.
Why Stormwater Blocks Here
Storm season
From November to March, torrential rain pours down the foothill slopes and lands on the low side of a block faster than the drains there can pass it on.
Creek-side low ground
Fletcher Parade, Carwoola Street and Kamber Street sit in council's February 2022 flood mapping along Ithaca Creek, so those drains take creek rises on top of ordinary runoff.
Fast overland flow
Water that would soak into flat ground instead runs down the steep gullies between the ridge streets and arrives at one pit all at once.
Old pipe stock
Interwar and postwar homes often still carry earthenware stormwater lines, and roots from the bush edge find those joints in a wet summer.
Stormwater Services We Provide
Every part of the stormwater run gets covered, from the gutter to the discharge point:
Gully and pit work
An overflow relief gully that surcharges in heavy rain gets checked and cleared, so storm water escapes outside where it belongs instead of backing up through the laundry floor.
Downpipe and strip drain clearing
Downpipes that dribble instead of gushing usually hide a choke in the leaf guard or the buried run, and clearing it protects eaves and footings from serious water damage.
Jet blasting stormwater lines
Silt, roots and garden debris strip off the pipe walls under high-pressure jetting, which restores the full bore of a stormwater line and keeps it flowing freely after the job.
Stormwater camera inspection
A camera pass finds the crushed or root-filled section before anyone digs, so the repair targets the actual fault underground and you pay for the fix rather than the guesswork.
Stormwater pipe repairs
Cracked, root-invaded or collapsed pipes get dug up and swapped for new, or relined when the wall holds its round, which ends the flooding that returns at the same pit each wet season.
Stormwater is one slice of the work: the drain services page lists the whole tree, and the fixture drains inside the house live on the drain cleaning page.

Common Stormwater Problems
Lead-in first, then the four we hear about most:
Water pooling over the gully
Rain sitting over a gully means the downstream line has lost capacity, usually to silt or roots, and clearing the run restores the escape route the block was graded around.
Overflow during every storm
A drain that only blocks when the November to March storms hit has a partial choke that fine weather hides, and jetting it before the next downpour saves the mop-up.
Water tracking under the house
Storm water finding its way beneath a timber Queenslander points to a failed trench drain or a broken line on the high side, and both get located and fixed properly.
Erosion beside the line
Soil washing out along a pipe route usually signals a joint leaking under pressure, and repairing it early stops the washout undermining nearby paths, garden beds or the pipe itself.
Not sure whether the fault sits in the stormwater line or the sewer? The CCTV drain inspection page explains how a camera settles that, and drain repairs covers the fix once the footage shows it.
Why Fast Clearing Matters
A slow stormwater drain is never just a puddle:
Water goes for the lowest point
On a sloping block that is often the laundry floor or the space under a timber house. Clearing early keeps the next downpour outside.
Silt never clears itself
A partly choked line slows every flow that follows, so each storm leaves more sediment behind. Jetting strips that build-up out before the cycle locks in.
Small faults grow
A leaking joint washes soil out around the pipe until the run sags or collapses. Fixing it while the pipe holds its shape costs far less than a dig-up later.
With about 1013 mm of rain in an average year, there is no long wait between tests of a stormwater line here.

Stormwater Drain Questions
Call (07) 3522 3397Why do Bardon's stormwater drains back up during storm season?
Storm season runs from November to March, and the torrential rain that comes with it overwhelms yard drains on Bardon's steep blocks before the lines downstream can carry the water away.
Which streets near Ithaca Creek see the worst stormwater trouble?
Fletcher Parade and the streets beside it, Carwoola and Kamber, sit inside the February 2022 flood map for Ithaca Creek, so drains there handle creek rises as well as ordinary runoff.
What does a surcharging gully tell you about a Bardon stormwater line?
In Bardon it usually means the line downstream has lost capacity to silt or fine roots, and the gully is doing its job by spilling outside rather than letting water back into the house.
Does rocky ground change how stormwater repairs are done in Bardon?
It can: rock under the foothill slopes slows trenching compared with river-flat soil, so the price waits until a camera inspection shows exactly where the fault sits before anyone commits to a dig.
Who is responsible for a blocked stormwater line in Bardon?
Pipes on your block stay your responsibility to their discharge point, and Urban Utilities looks after the mains under the street, so a camera run shows whose problem any fault is.
