Why Storm Water Drains Get Blocked
- Leaves and Debris: Fallen leaves, twigs, and dirt can clog stormwater drains, blocking water flow and causing potential blockages that need quick attention.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots can invade stormwater pipes, causing blockages and damaging the pipes, which disrupts the drainage system and requires prompt repair.
- Sediment Build-Up: Rainwater washes dirt and soil into your pipes, where it accumulates and gradually forms a clog, affecting the drainage efficiency.
- Grease and Oils: Oils and grease from household drains can enter the stormwater system, contributing to blockages and reducing the capacity of the pipes.
- Improper Disposal of Waste: Non-biodegradable waste such as plastic, paper, and cigarette butts often end up in stormwater drains, resulting in major blockages.
- Collapsed or Cracked Pipes: Over time, pipes can crack or collapse due to age or external pressure, obstructing the flow and requiring immediate repairs.
- Faulty or Poorly Designed Drains: Stormwater systems that are improperly designed or too small for the property may struggle with heavy rainfall, leading to frequent blockages.
Signs of Blocked Stormwater Drains in Brisbane
Recognising the symptoms of blocked stormwater drains early can help prevent costly damage. Here are the common signs to watch for:
- Puddles Around the Property: When water collects around your yard or garden after rain, it’s often a sign of a stormwater drain blockage.
- Overflowing Gutters: Blocked drains can cause gutters to overflow, leading to potential property damage.
- Slow Drainage or Backflow: Slow drainage or water backing up in outdoor drains indicates a system blockage.
- Unpleasant Smells: Stagnant water in clogged drains leads to unpleasant smells near your property.
- Erosion Around Drains: Soil movement or gully erosion happens when water can’t flow properly due to a blockage.
- Increased Mosquito Activity: Stagnant water from clogged drains serves as a breeding site for mosquitoes.

Stormwater Drain Cleaning Services in Brisbane
High-Pressure Jet Blasting
High-pressure jet blasting is one of the most effective methods for clearing blocked stormwater drains. This process uses a powerful jet of water to break up and flush out any blockages. It’s an efficient and non-invasive technique that ensures your drains are cleaned thoroughly.
Manual Stormwater Drain Cleaning
In some cases, a hands-on approach is needed alongside jet blasting. Our team uses specialised tools to remove debris and obstructions, ensuring your stormwater system is fully restored.
24/7 Emergency Cleaning
We provide emergency stormwater drain cleaning in Brisbane, available 24/7. Our team responds quickly to clear blockages and prevent water damage. We’re equipped to address urgent issues and restore your drainage system swiftly, ensuring your peace of mind.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
We use high-definition drain cameras to inspect your pipes from the inside. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage with minimal disruption.
Stormwater Drain Repairs & Relining
For damaged or collapsed pipes, we offer no-dig pipe relining—a trenchless technology that restores your stormwater pipes from the inside out. Strong, long-lasting, and far less invasive than traditional excavation.

Drain Relining
Stormwater drain relining is an advanced solution for repairing damaged or deteriorating stormwater pipes without the need for excavation. This method involves inserting a flexible liner into the existing pipe, which then hardens to form a strong, durable pipe within the old one.
Pipe Replacement
If pipe relining isn’t an option due to extensive damage, we offer pipe replacement services. We’ll safely excavate the damaged pipes and replace them with strong, long-lasting materials, all while working efficiently to minimise any impact on your property.
What to Do If You Suspect a Blocked Stormwater Drain
Think your stormwater drain might be blocked? Don’t panic—follow these simple steps:
Look for surface pooling around driveways, yards, or grates.
Avoid using outdoor water sources if overflow is present.
Take photos of visible flooding or damage (handy for insurance).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent my stormwater drains from being blocked in the future?
To prevent future blockages, schedule regular cleaning of your drains, trim trees and vegetation near drainage systems, and avoid disposing of waste, leaves, or debris down the drains. These steps will help keep your stormwater system clear and functioning properly.
How often should I have my stormwater drains cleaned?
To maintain optimal drainage, clean your stormwater drains every 1-2 years. If issues like slow drainage or pooling water arise, it’s best to arrange a cleaning earlier to prevent further damage.
How can tree roots enter and block stormwater pipes?
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can penetrate stormwater pipes through even the smallest cracks or joints. As the roots grow and expand inside the pipes, they can cause significant blockages, restricting water flow and potentially damaging the system.
What are the risks of not addressing a blocked stormwater drain promptly?
Delaying repairs can result in escalating water damage, erosion, foundation issues, and the growth of mold and mildew, which can all lead to costly and extensive repairs if left unresolved.
