What We Handle Under Blocked Stormwater
We clear and repair the stormwater side of your property: surcharging pits, gully traps that back up in a downpour, and downpipes that overflow instead of draining away.
That extends to silt and leaf litter built up in ag lines and channel drains, and yard flooding traced back to a blocked or collapsed stormwater connection.
How to Tell You Need Blocked Stormwater
Stormwater trouble tends to announce itself while it is actually raining, or right after. Here is what to watch for.
- Puddles sit in the yard or driveway long after the rain itself has stopped.
- A pit near the house floods over every time a real downpour hits.
- Water backs up out of the gutter rather than making it into the downpipe.
- Something musty or stagnant hangs around a pit or grate that never used to smell.
- One particular corner of the yard goes under every single storm season.
- A drain or channel is clearly clogged with wet leaves and built-up dirt.
The Winston Hills Angle on Blocked Stormwater
Winston Hills sits on undulating ground that drains toward Toongabbie Creek, and streets like Old Windsor Road sit on the lower side of that slope.
In a heavy downpour, that terrain pushes a lot of water toward older stormwater systems fairly quickly, and pits and pipes sized for a gentler pattern of rain can surcharge rather than keep up.
It shows up most on properties whose stormwater connections date from the original 1960s-80s build, ahead of the suburb's later stages. Autumn leaf-fall from the mature street trees adds to the load, choking grates just as the wet season gets going.
The Factors Behind a Blocked Stormwater Quote
No two stormwater jobs cost the same, because no two blockages are the same. Here is what shifts the quote.
- Whether it is simple silt and leaves, or something more serious like a caved-in pit.
- The number of separate pits or drainage points the one job needs to cover.
- How deep any pipe or ag line sits, and how hard it is to reach.
- Whether the job is a straightforward clear, a repair, or swapping out pipe.
- What time of year it is, since a bad storm can send call-outs through the roof.
We settle the price upfront and fixed before we start, and the $0 call-out fee applies no matter what we end up doing.
How We Work Through a Blocked Stormwater Job
- Assess and quote. We look at what is blocked, agree a fixed price, and get started, no charge just to turn up.
- Clear it. Jet blast or hand-clear the pit, gully or line, matched to what is actually causing the backup.
- Check the wider system. Given how fast this undulating ground moves water toward the creek, we also check whether the pit itself is undersized ahead of wrapping up.
- Tidy up and warranty. Debris and silt cleared away, and the fix is backed by our lifetime labour warranty.
What NSW Requires for Blocked Stormwater
Stormwater work is drainage work, so the same rule applies as everywhere else on this list: a licensed plumber has to do it, and we operate under NSW licence #465156C.
The AS/NZS 3500 code sets standards for stormwater pipework too, covering pit sizing and how everything connects into the wider system.
Where a blockage sits inside the property boundary, it is generally the owner's job to keep it clear. Problems further downstream in the public main are a different matter, and we can tell you which side of that line your job sits on.
What You Get When We Do Your Blocked Stormwater
A backed-up stormwater pit rarely waits politely, so a fast response counts for a lot here. That is exactly what our 24/7 on-call line exists for.
Any jet blast we run comes with a free CCTV look at the line afterwards, so you know the fix held. Finish a paid job here and a premium garden tap is thrown in free, no strings attached.
Related Work and Surrounding Areas
If storm season keeps catching you out, a CCTV drain inspection can show whether a pit is undersized before it becomes an emergency, and regular drain cleaning keeps leaf litter from building up in the first place.
We cover Winston Hills and out into Old Toongabbie and Castle Hill, and we are out this way most weeks of the year.

Common questions
Common Blocked Stormwater FAQs
What Winston Hills homeowners want to know before we come out for blocked stormwater.
Who pays if a stormwater blockage is out in the public main?
If the blockage is on your private property, it is your responsibility to have it cleared. Once it is out in the public main, that falls to the water authority, and we can help you work out which side of the boundary you are on.
Can you do blocked stormwater in older homes with clay pipes?
Yes. Plenty of Winston Hills homes from the original 1960s-80s build still have older-style stormwater connections, and we clear and repair them regularly.
Can tree roots be cleared without digging?
Often, yes. High-pressure water jetting or an electric eel can clear root growth from inside the pipe in plenty of cases, with no digging involved.
Do you charge a call-out fee for blocked stormwater?
No, it is $0 to have us come out and take a look, storm damage or not.
Will a cleared stormwater drain block again?
It can, especially with heavy leaf litter nearby, but a proper clear plus a look at whether the pit is undersized usually stops it becoming a repeat problem.
Is blocked stormwater work available for strata or apartment blocks in Winston Hills?
Yes, we handle both the private stormwater on a lot and shared stormwater infrastructure across a strata property.
