Stormwater Pit and Inlet Clearing
Stormwater pit and inlet clearing removes the leaf litter, mulch and silt that stops yard pits draining on flat blocks, so water leaves your property the way it was designed to.

Stormwater Drains in Deagon
Roof water, yard runoff and the tide all meet on this low ground, and a choked pit shows itself fast. The drain services page runs through every job we handle.
Why Stormwater Blocks Here
Stormwater behaves differently on this patch of ground than it does on a sloping block, and the reasons come straight from the map:
Flat ground with nowhere to go
With Cabbage Tree Creek running high, runoff struggles to clear a pit, and inlets choked with leaves and mulch leave water pooling across yards instead of draining away.
Flood-mapped streets
Council's February 2022 flood mapping covers a large share of the residential land, and creek flood planning plus storm-tide zones sit over streets such as Henderson Road, Norman Street and Central Avenue.
Damp, aggressive soil
Humic and peaty gley soils carrying salt run along the creek, so buried stormwater joints sit in wet ground that shifts and weeps.
Plenty of rain to move
The suburb averages 1064 mm of rain a year, so the system gets tested hard every wet season.
Rescuers had to pull people from homes here in the 2010 flood, which tells you how quickly low ground turns when the creek and the tide line up.
Our Stormwater Services
Six stormwater jobs cover most calls, from a single silted pit to a run that needs pipe renewal:
Jet Blasting for Stormwater Lines
Jet blasting scours silt and sand off stormwater pipe walls with high-pressure water, a good match for gentle falls where leftover debris keeps settling back into the low sections.
Downpipe and Gutter Branch Clearing
Downpipe and gutter branch clearing gets roof water moving again before the next storm, protecting eaves, fascia and ceilings from the overflow a choked line pushes back toward the house.
CCTV Drain Inspection
CCTV drain inspection shows where a stormwater line has silted, cracked or been invaded by roots, so the fix targets the actual fault rather than guesswork and repeat visits.
Electric Eel Cutting
Electric eel cutting breaks through root masses and hardened silt in older clay stormwater lines, a method that suits the earthenware pipes still common across this suburb's older streets.
Stormwater Pipe Repairs
Pipe repairs for stormwater lines fix cracked, sunken or root-damaged runs, and relining is one option where digging up the yard would cost more than the pipe is worth.

Stormwater Problems We Fix
These four issues fill most of the stormwater call sheet, and every one has a straightforward fix:
Water Pooling Across the Yard
Standing water after ordinary rain usually means a pit or inlet has silted up, and one clearing visit gets the ground absorbing again instead of pooling between storms.
Overflow at Downpipes and Gullies
Overflow at a downpipe or gully during a storm points to a choke further down the run, and clearing it early protects ceilings, eaves and footings from water damage.
A Line That Silts Every Wet Season
A stormwater line that silts up again each wet season usually sits in the damp ground beside Cabbage Tree Creek, and a camera shows whether a repair is due.
Roots in Old Stormwater Joints
Roots from tea-tree woodland and mature street trees creep into old stormwater joints, and cutting them back restores flow before the next summer storm fills the pits again.
Stormwater and sewer are separate systems, and the blocked sewer page covers the household sewer line. Where the fix is a clean rather than a repair, the drain cleaning page has the detail, and the CCTV drain inspection page explains how we confirm a fault first.
What a Choked Stormwater Line Costs You
A blocked stormwater drain is rarely just a puddle. Here is what it puts at risk:
Standing water breeds other problems
A sodden yard turns to mud, kills lawn and invites mosquitoes. Clearing early keeps the block usable between storms.
Overflow finds the weakest point
Water that cannot leave through the pits looks for door tracks, weep holes and garage thresholds. One choked inlet can put water where it does real damage.
Small chokes become pipe damage
Silt and roots keep working at the joints year after year. Clearing early costs a service call, while waiting can end in a repair, and the drain repairs page explains both paths.

Stormwater Questions and Answers
Call (07) 3067 4271How does flat ground change stormwater drainage in Deagon?
Roof and yard water barely moves across the flat blocks here once the creek rises, so pits and inlets have to be clear before a storm arrives rather than during it.
How badly does flooding hit Deagon?
Council's creek flood planning and storm-tide mapping covers many of the residential streets here, and very few sit entirely clear, so most yards need their pits and inlets checked before the wet season.
Who fixes stormwater, me or Urban Utilities?
Urban Utilities looks after the sewer main out in the street, while stormwater pipes and pits on your block are yours to maintain, so a choked yard pit is a plumbing job.
Can stormwater and sewer drains connect?
They are separate systems, and roof water must never feed into the sewer, because a storm surge down a sewer line pushes sewage back through the lowest fixtures in the house.
What should I clear before storm season in Deagon?
Strip leaves and mulch off yard pits and inlets ahead of the wet season, because a choked inlet on flat ground pools water across the yard instead of draining it toward the creek.
