Blocked Stormwater in Curl Curl
1000+ five-star reviews
Rain doesn't wait for a convenient time to find the weak point in your stormwater line.
A blocked gully or a silted-up ag line turns an ordinary downpour into water pooling where it shouldn't.

What Our Blocked Stormwater Work Covers
Rainwater is meant to have a clear path off your block. When it doesn't, this is what we sort out.
Downpipes and roof drainage. Clearing leaves, silt and debris so water actually reaches the stormwater system instead of pooling at the gutter line.
Gully pits and grates. Surface pits that collect leaves and sediment need regular clearing, and a blocked one shows up fast as ponding.
Agricultural lines. The perforated pipe running under garden beds and lawns to soak away excess water, prone to silting and root intrusion over time.
Overland flow paths. Where water is meant to travel across the surface during heavy rain without pooling against the house.
Every one of these connects eventually to council's stormwater system, so a fault anywhere along the chain can show up as pooling somewhere else entirely.
When It Is Time for Blocked Stormwater
Water behaving strangely during or after rain is the clearest sign this system needs attention.
- Water pools near the house instead of draining away after rain
- A downpipe overflows at the join instead of running through
- Gully pits fill with leaves or silt faster than usual
- Grass or garden beds stay soggy for days after weather clears
- Water surfaces from a pit or grate under normal rainfall, not just downpours
- The line has never been cleared and the property backs onto a reserve or established trees, worth a look through our CCTV drain inspection if blockages keep returning
Blocked Stormwater in Curl Curl Homes
Drains in the low-lying Curl Curl Lagoon and Greendale Creek catchment can surcharge during heavy weather when the lagoon cannot drain freely.
Properties on or near Abbott Road sit inside that catchment, so a storm system that would clear quickly elsewhere can leave stormwater lines here holding water for longer than expected.
That backup pressure is often what pushes silt and debris further into a pit or ag line than a light rain event normally would.
What Affects the Cost of Blocked Stormwater
A stormwater quote moves on a few clear factors, every one explained before you sign off.
- How far the blockage sits along the line, pit to outlet
- Whether it's leaves and silt or roots that have worked into the pipe
- Number of pits or downpipes feeding into the affected run
- Access across paving, garden beds or under a deck
- Whether the catchment's backup pressure has pushed debris further than usual
That catchment backup near Abbott Road means a stormwater job here can need a longer jetter pass than the same blockage would elsewhere, which is why we check every pit along the run before pricing it.

How it works
How We Clear a Blocked Stormwater Job Properly
1. Locate the blockage
Camera and locator work out where the line is actually blocked, pit by pit if needed.
2. Clear it with the right method
Jetting for silt and grease, root-cutting heads where roots have worked in, matched to what the line can handle.
3. Check the whole run
Once the immediate blockage clears, we run the camera the length of the line to check for anything else building up.
4. Confirm water moves freely
A test flush or the next rain event proves the fix, backed by our labour warranty either way.
Standards and Boundaries, Explained Simply
Stormwater lines on your property, including gully pits and ag lines, are yours to maintain.
Council owns the kerb and street drainage system that your line eventually feeds into, and connecting or altering that link needs a licensed plumber, not a DIY job.
We stay on your side of that line and tell you plainly if a fault sits further out than we can touch.
What You Get When We Do Your Blocked Stormwater
A stormwater job done properly means water goes where it's supposed to, not just clear for a fortnight.
Licence #275278C backs every job, and if something's not right afterwards, we're back with no cost to you.
The 10% seniors discount and $0 call-out fee both apply, same as any other drain call.
Servicing Curl Curl and the Suburbs Around It
We clear stormwater lines across Curl Curl and the wider Northern Beaches, including Freshwater, Dee Why and Brookvale.
Sewage rather than rainwater involved? That's blocked sewer territory instead, and where it's genuinely unclear, a CCTV drain inspection sorts out which line is actually at fault.

Common questions
Blocked Stormwater FAQs
Will I get proof the stormwater line is actually clear afterwards?
Yes, camera footage of the cleared line, every time. Rather than taking our word for it, you watch the water move on the screen yourself.
Do you handle stormwater for strata buildings or shops in Curl Curl?
Regularly. Shared stormwater lines under a strata block or a row of shops carry more volume and usually more debris, so we scope the whole run on camera before quoting rather than guessing at what's downstream.
Can older clay stormwater lines be cleared without cracking them further?
Yes, with the right pressure setting. A jetter run too hard on an old clay line does more harm than good, so we match the pressure to what the pipe can actually take.
If stormwater backs up into the sewer line, who's responsible?
Your stormwater and sewer lines are separate systems, and mixing them up is rare but it happens on older properties. Whichever line is at fault on your side of the boundary is ours to fix; past that boundary sits with the mains network.
How long does a blocked stormwater job usually take?
A straightforward pit or downpipe clear is often done within the hour. A longer ag-line run full of silt, or a job needing the jetter for an extended pass, takes longer, and we'll say so before we start rather than after.
Do I need a licensed plumber for stormwater drain work, or can a handyman do it?
Licensed, always. Stormwater work connects to council infrastructure and getting it wrong can send water somewhere it was never meant to go, onto a neighbour's block or back toward your own foundations.
