Gutter and Downpipe Clearing
Leaves and grit from the established postwar street trees pack gutters and downpipes tight, so we clear the full run and run water through to check every drop drains away.

How Stormwater Drains Work
Stormwater is the runoff side of your plumbing, separate from the sewer, and it has one job: carry rain from your roof and yard out to the street. When it blocks, that rain stays exactly where it lands.
Stormwater Ground Around Geebung
Creek-side ground
Downfall Creek forms the suburb's southern boundary, and the flood overlay council applies to creeks sits over the industrial blocks up on Bilsen Road, Delta Street and Granite Street, where mapped overland flow paths carry runoff across the yards.
Fast-shedding hardstand
The large paved industrial lots shed their runoff almost at once, so street pits cop the full load in one hit and push grit into every connected line.
A summer problem
Thunderstorms cluster between November and March, and the open-data snapshot puts the yearly average near 1064 millimetres, so most of that water arrives in a handful of downpours.
Stormwater Services We Offer
Plumbing Geebung clears the full stormwater run on any property: roof water, pit water and the underground lines that carry both to the street, with debris taken out rather than pushed downstream:
Pit and Grate Clearing
Boundary pits catch the first flush of grit off paved yards, so we lift the grate, empty the sump and check the outlet before the next storm arrives.
Line Flushing and Clearing
Where an underground line runs slow, we rod or flush it from the pit to the boundary, clearing silt and root mass so runoff keeps moving out to the street.
Silt and Debris Removal
After a creek rise we strip flood debris from pits and gullies, then test each line with a water flush, because silt left behind chokes the next storm.

Common Stormwater Problems
Water Pooling at Downpipes
Pools under a downpipe usually mean the buried line is choked or crushed, and clearing it early stops water tracking back toward the stumps and framing of a postwar house.
A Pit That Overflows
A boundary pit surcharging in light rain points to a blocked outlet or a choked downstream line, and a quick clear usually has it working again before the next downpour.
Grit Settling in Bends
Fine grit washed off hardstand settles in the slow bends of a stormwater line, and once it builds the pipe holds water between storms instead of draining dry.
Roots in the Line
Roots creep into stormwater joints the same way they enter sewer lines, and once inside they snag every passing leaf, so clearing them keeps the whole run flowing.
After the Creek Rises
Where the water went
The February 2022 flood council mapped reached the top of Bilsen Road, the far end of Robinson Road East, and low ground around Lauren and Virginia Streets.
What it leaves
Creek water carries silt, and whatever drops into a pit or gully settles like sand, so a line that went under floodwater will run slow until someone cleans it out.
The check that matters
After any rise near those low streets, a flush through the stormwater line shows whether the silt has gone or is still sitting in the bends.
Why a Clear Line Matters
A stormwater line only has to work when it rains, which is exactly when a blockage turns a nuisance into water at the back door, so here is what a clear line buys:
Ground that stays put
The soils here include alluvial and reactive clay, which swells when it stays wet. Water held against stumps and footings by a blocked line slowly shifts them, and clearing the line costs far less than repairing what that movement breaks.
Rain kept off the sewer
Blocked stormwater sends runoff hunting for the nearest gully, and a surcharging gully is how stormwater gets inside the house. A clear line keeps the two systems apart, and it spares you the indoor flooding we cover on the burst pipes page.
Diagnosis before digging
When the same pit floods twice, a CCTV drain inspection shows whether the fault is silt, roots or a cracked barrel, so nobody digs up the yard on a guess.

Stormwater Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4276Who owns my stormwater pipes in Geebung?
Every pipe and pit inside your boundary is yours to maintain, while the drainage under the street belongs to council, so clearing a choked yard line here is a private job.
Can a blocked stormwater drain flood my house?
Yes, the creek flood council mapped in February 2022 touched low streets near Downfall Creek, and a choked stormwater line lets that water sit against the slab instead of draining away.
Is my stormwater connected to the sewer in Geebung?
Some older houses here carry connections where stormwater ties into a sewer gully, which surcharges in heavy rain, so we trace where each line runs and separate them where needed.
Does Urban Utilities fix blocked stormwater drains?
No, Urban Utilities looks after the public water and sewer mains under the street, while the stormwater pipes inside your boundary are yours, so a blocked yard line is our job.
Do you use a camera on stormwater lines?
Yes, because flooding that keeps returning to the same pit usually means a cracked or root-bound pipe, and a camera inspection shows the exact fault before anyone digs up the yard.
