What we do

Our Stormwater
Drainage Services

Stormwater management covers everything from clearing a blocked pit to designing and installing a complete new drainage system for a development. Here's what we handle:

Blocked Pit Clearing
Stormwater pits and grates blocked with leaves, sediment and debris — cleaned and restored to full capacity.
Stormwater Pipe Repairs
Cracked, blocked or root-affected stormwater pipes repaired or relined to restore flow.
New System Installation
Design and installation of new stormwater drainage systems for new builds, extensions and renovations.
Overflow & Flooding Solutions
Assessment and rectification of properties that flood during heavy rain — including soakwells and diversion.
CCTV Inspection
Camera inspection of underground stormwater pipes to identify blockages, cracks and root intrusion.
High-Pressure Jetting
Thorough clearing of stormwater lines using high-pressure water jetting for a complete clean.
Downpipe Connections
Connecting roof downpipes to the stormwater system to prevent water pooling against the building.
Commercial Drainage
Stormwater solutions for commercial properties, carparks, industrial sites and multi-residential buildings.
Why it matters

The Risks of Poor
Stormwater Drainage

Adelaide receives its heaviest rainfall during winter, and properties with inadequate or blocked stormwater drainage face real consequences when those storms arrive.

Foundation damage. Water pooling against or under your home's slab or footings can cause subsidence, cracking and long-term structural issues that are expensive to remediate.

Flooding and water ingress. Blocked pits and overflowing drainage channels direct water toward the building rather than away from it — leading to flooded garages, subfloor areas and interior spaces.

Garden and soil erosion. Uncontrolled water runoff strips topsoil and damages landscaping. Over time it can also undermine retaining walls and garden beds.

Council compliance. In South Australia, stormwater must be managed on-site or directed to the stormwater network — not onto neighbouring properties or the footpath. Non-compliant systems can result in council notices and liability for damage to neighbouring properties.

Regular stormwater pit cleaning before winter — and a proper system assessment if your property floods — is far less costly than dealing with the aftermath.

Our process

How We Approach
Stormwater Work

1
Site Assessment
We inspect your property's existing stormwater system — pits, grates, pipes and connections — to understand how it's currently configured and identify any faults, blockages or capacity issues.
2
Diagnosis & Recommendation
Based on the assessment, we recommend the appropriate solution — whether that's a simple pit clean, a pipe repair, or a new drainage system — with a clear upfront price.
3
Clearing or Installation
We carry out the agreed work — pit cleaning, high-pressure jetting, pipe relining or installation of new pits, pipes and connections — to AS/NZS 3500.3 stormwater standards.
4
Flow Test & Verification
We test the system by running water through it to confirm everything is flowing correctly and discharging to the right location. For new installations we verify all connections and grades.
Common questions

Stormwater Drainage FAQs

For most residential properties, annual cleaning before the winter rain season is recommended. Properties with large trees nearby, or those in areas prone to leaf litter, may benefit from cleaning twice a year. If your property has flooded in heavy rain before, it's worth having the system inspected to determine if capacity is the issue or simply blockage.
This usually indicates either a blocked system, an undersized system, or a system that's not draining to the right location. We start with a site inspection and, if needed, a CCTV inspection of the underground pipes. Solutions range from clearing existing pits and pipes, to installing additional pits and soakwells, to regrading surface areas to redirect flow.
No — stormwater and sewer systems are separate in South Australia and must not be cross-connected. Stormwater is discharged to the stormwater network (kerb and gutter or council drain) or managed on-site via soakwells, rainwater tanks or absorption trenches. Cross-connection is a serious compliance issue and can result in fines and liability.
Yes. Where a property cannot readily drain to the street stormwater system, soakwells (underground absorption chambers) are an effective on-site management solution. We design and install soakwell systems sized appropriately for your roof catchment area and soil conditions.
Yes — all our plumbers hold a current SA plumbing licence covering stormwater drainage work. We comply with AS/NZS 3500.3 (Stormwater Drainage) and all relevant local council and SA Water requirements for stormwater installations.
Yes — we carry out stormwater drainage work across all Adelaide metro suburbs. See our service areas page for the full list or call 0468 280 017 to discuss your job.
