Roof and Downpipe Drains
We clear grated gullies taking roof water, reseat loose downpipe adapters and flush the underground run toward the street, so the next storm sheds away instead of pooling at the slab.

When the Yard Will Not Drain
Stormwater is its own network, separate from the sewer, and it fails differently: it backs up in storms rather than when you flush. Here is what that looks like on the ground and what we do about it.
Why Stormwater Blocks Here
This suburb is threaded with waterways, and they set the rules for every yard drain.
Four creeks, one river
Sheepstation, Gympie and Burpengary creeks run through here alongside the Caboolture River, and the council's flood layers mark high and medium risk ground beside every one of them. Pits and culverts heading for those channels back up in prolonged rain.
The 2011 watermark
Parts of Morayfield went under in January 2011, and the lowest house drains near the river and Sheepstation Creek hold water first whenever those channels rise.
A wet start to the year
Average annual rainfall sits at 1181 millimetres on the record, and Bureau of Meteorology figures from Redcliffe put the storms in the early months of each year, and that is when our phones run hottest.
Stormwater Work We Carry Out
Every stormwater job starts with finding where the water wants to go, then getting it there:
Pits and Grates
We pump out silted pits, lift the grates, clear trapped debris and rebed the surround so the grate sits flush, because a proud grate dumps water down the wall line.
Yard and Surface Drains
We trace and clear the slotted lines across lawns and driveways, jetting the silt from the low points and restoring the fall, so the low corners stop turning into ponds.
Culverts and Easement Lines
We clear the pipes carrying yard water under driveways and along drainage easements toward the creek-side outlets, where leaf litter and creek silt settle heaviest and block the fastest.

Common Stormwater Faults
Silt at the Low Points
Alluvial soil beside the waterways lets groundwater seep into drain joints, and lines running low through those flats drop silt exactly where the fall is weakest, which is where we start the jetting.
Roots in Yard Lines
Slotted yard drains breathe moisture into the surrounding soil, and fig and gum roots follow it in, threading the slots until the line holds more root than pipe and needs mechanical clearing.
Debris After a Storm
A single big storm loads every grate with leaf litter, mulch and bark, and the pits that cleared fine last summer suddenly hold a foot of water because the outlet is capped.
A Drowned Outlet
Where a yard line daylights near a creek in flood-hazard mapping, floodwater swamps the outlet and everything upstream stalls until the creek drops, and we clear it when flows return.
What the Creek Flats Mean for Clearing
The alluvial terraces along the waterways drain badly, and that shapes every stormwater job on the low blocks:
Wet holes
Groundwater sits near the surface for long stretches out there, so any pit we dig out comes up wet and needs proper rebedding rather than a quick scoop.
Silt that returns
A cleared line silts again if the joints leak, so we finish with a camera pass where it counts, which shows which joints to seal ahead of the following storm season.
Why Clearing It Properly Matters
It protects the house, not just the lawn
Stormwater pooling at the slab edge on the low-set brick homes here works its way under footings and into the subfloor, and a yard that drains beats a soaked slab every time.
It keeps the septic systems out of trouble
On the unsewered acreage, absorption trenches that are already holding rainwater cannot take overflow from a drowned yard drain, so surface water has to be moved away from the trench area deliberately.
It stops the repeat call
Jetting a line without finding why it blocked is a short fix, and the silt or roots come straight back. We clear the cause, not just the symptom, and show you what we found.

Stormwater Questions, Answered
Call (07) 3523 6428Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Morayfield block?
You own every pipe, pit and grate from the house to the boundary, while the road network and the creek channels it runs to sit on the council side of that line.
Why do my yard drains back up when Sheepstation Creek runs high?
Creek water tops the yard line's outlet, backing up the line until the level drops, so we clear the silt afterward and check the fall ahead of the next wet season.
Does Unitywater look after stormwater drains?
No, Unitywater carries the drinking water and sewer networks, while stormwater pits, kerb outlets and the channels toward the creeks are council assets, so clearing on your block is private work.
Can council flood mapping affect my stormwater repairs?
It can, because mapped flood ground beside the waterways keeps the water table near the surface, which changes how we rebed pits and seal joints on those blocks.
What changes the cost of clearing stormwater at my place?
The number of pits, how far the line runs toward the outlet, and whether jetting or a camera check comes first all shape the figure, which you approve before work starts.
