The detail
Rain has nowhere to go
Your stormwater system carries roof and surface water away from the house to the street or a soak-well. Unlike the sewer, it only shows its problems when it rains, then a blocked line means water pooling against the foundations, overflowing pits and puddles that won't drain. Given how close much of Bayside sits to Port Phillip Bay, and how flat parts of Mentone, Mordialloc and Aspendale are, poor stormwater drainage can put water where you least want it. We clear the line and get it moving before the next downpour.

Why do stormwater drains block in Bayside?
Stormwater drains fill with what falls into them: leaves, twigs, silt, sand and garden debris. The mature street trees that make Bayside's streets so leafy, planes, oaks and liquidambars, shed heavily into gutters, downpipes and surface pits every autumn.
Underground, the same ageing infrastructure applies. Older stormwater lines through Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham are often clay or early PVC, and tree roots invade them just as they do sewer pipes, catching silt and leaf litter until the line chokes. Sandy soils near the bay wash grit into the system, and flat blocks give water little fall to self-clear. We clear the pits, downpipes and underground line, then camera it to check for roots, collapse or dislodged joints.
Warning signs
What are the signs your stormwater drain is blocked?
- Water pools in the yard or against the house during rain
- Surface pits and grates overflow instead of draining
- Downpipes back up and overflow at the top
- Gurgling or slow drainage from stormwater pits
- Damp or water ingress in a basement or under-floor area

Frequently Asked Questions: Blocked Stormwater Drain Clearing Bayside
Why does it only flood when it rains?
Stormwater carries rain runoff. A blocked line only fails under the volume a downpour brings.
Can leaves really block an underground pipe?
Yes, leaf litter and silt wash into pits and settle in the pipe, especially where roots have already narrowed it.
Is stormwater the same as sewer?
No, they're separate systems. Stormwater carries clean rain runoff; the sewer carries waste. Never connect one to the other.
Do you clear the pits and the pipe?
Yes, the whole system from surface pits and downpipes to the underground line.
Is the call-out free?
Yes, $0 call-out, fixed price before we start.
Can you stop it recurring?
Clearing plus a CCTV check lets us fix the root cause, whether that's roots, damage or a debris trap.
