Downpipe and gutter outlet clearing
We clear leaves, silt and debris from downpipe outlets so roof runoff reaches the ground drains again, which keeps water away from your walls during the next heavy summer downpour.

Stormwater Drains on the Headland
When a stormwater line blocks, the water has nowhere to go but across your yard or against your walls. This page explains what blocks these drains here, how we clear them and what a job involves.
Where the Water Goes After Rain
Council maps overland flow paths through Donald Street, Wharf Street and Victoria Avenue
When the pits on those runs choke, runoff has nowhere to go but over the surface, straight through the low yards between.
Census-era records put rainfall near 1,104mm a year
Most of it arrives in short summer storms that drop a lot of water on the same few pits within minutes.
Sand sits over rock across the headland
Water sheds fast instead of soaking away, so every storm funnels toward the same handful of outlets at the bottom of the fall.
The ridge above Oxley Avenue sits mostly clear of Council's flood classes
The water still has to travel downhill to the bay though, through somebody's yard whenever a line below it is blocked.
What We Clear and Fix
Every stormwater job draws on the services on our drain services page, and these are the six we run most often on the headland:
Street pits and yard gullies
Silted street pits and yard gullies get emptied and flushed so runoff from the ridge has somewhere to go, protecting driveways and garages from flooding when hard summer storms hit.
Jet blasting the lines
Jet blasting scours sand, silt and tree roots off stormwater pipe walls, restoring full water flow through lines that a cable alone would only ever poke a narrow hole through.
Camera inspection
A camera run through the stormwater line shows where silt has settled, where roots got in and whether a pipe section cracked, so the right fix gets planned first time. Our CCTV drain inspection page explains the process.
Pipe repairs
Broken or collapsed stormwater pipes get dug up and replaced, or relined where digging is impractical, so the line stops dumping water into already saturated soil after every heavy rain. Details sit on our drain repairs page.
Yard and driveway drains
Yard and driveway drains get cleared back to free flow, so puddles stop sitting against slabs and footings and your outdoor areas drain the way they were originally built to.

Stormwater Troubles We Fix
Four problems bring most stormwater calls in off the bay side, and every one of them is fixable:
Water pooling on the low streets
Water pooling along the low streets near the foreshore usually means a silted pit or a crushed pipe, and clearing or repairing it restores the fall the system relies on.
Downpipes overflowing in a storm
Overflowing downpipes during a storm point to a blockage further down the line, and clearing it before the next downpour keeps water out of your roof spaces and wall cavities.
Gully grates backing up
Gully grates that back up in heavy rain often sit on lines choked with sand and roots, and a proper flush clears the whole run rather than just the trap.
Slow drainage after every shower
Slow drainage after every shower of rain suggests a partial blockage that is getting worse, and sorting it early is far simpler than digging up a whole flooded yard later.
If what's backing up is sewage rather than rainwater, you're looking at a blocked sewer instead, and that page covers it.
Why Blocked Stormwater Can't Wait
A blocked stormwater drain does its worst damage quietly:
Water goes where it shouldn't
A choked line sends runoff against footings, under houses and into garages. The repair bill grows every time it rains.
Saturated ground moves
Soil around a flooded line softens and shifts, which is hard on the joints of older pipes. One blockage can set up the next one.
Small jobs stay small
Clearing silt early is a short visit; a collapsed pipe under a flooded lawn is a day's work. The timing is yours to choose.
How a Stormwater Job Runs
- 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
You approve the price
We show you the cause, talk through the fix and give a fixed upfront price, and work begins only when you are happy with it.
- 3
Clear and check the line
We jet or eel the stormwater run clear from pit to outlet, then flush the whole line hard to confirm water escapes freely at the outlet the way it should.
- 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
Call (07) 3067 4271What usually blocks stormwater drains in Woody Point?
Sand, silt and tree roots do most of the damage here, because the headland's sandy soil washes into pits during storms and the suburb's mature figs and palms push roots into old joints.
How much does stormwater clearing cost in Woody Point?
The figure depends on how deep the line sits, what caused the blockage and whether a camera look is needed, and the price is settled before any work starts.
Who looks after the stormwater pipes on my block?
You generally own the drains on your property while Council handles the street drainage network, so we clear your side and point you to the right authority if the trouble sits beyond it.
Do summer storms block drains along Hornibrook Esplanade?
They can, because storm surge and heavy runoff push sand and debris into the low-side pits along Hornibrook Esplanade, and lines that were already partly silted tend to give way during the first big cell.
What does water pooling in a Woody Point yard after rain mean?
Standing water usually points to a blocked or damaged stormwater line rather than just heavy rain, and a camera inspection shows whether the pipe needs a flush or an actual repair.
