Stormwater Trouble on This Slope
When the stormwater stops moving here, the water does not wait politely. It sheets across driveways, pools against retaining walls and finds the low garage door. We clear the line, find why it choked and set the water on its proper path again.
What Makes Stormwater Different Here
Both watercourses that drain this ridge start inside the suburb, so the estate streets take every storm first-hand, with nothing upstream to buffer the flow.
Fast runoff, slow drains
A cell bursting on the slopes behind the estate reaches the street drains in minutes, and the pits lose the race against the downstream pipes.
Sloping Ellendale lots
Built from 2016 on tilted blocks beside D'Aguilar National Park, the estate sees runoff scouring the batters and spilling downhill to neighbouring properties wherever surface grates and subsoil lines don't match the fall.
Leaf litter from the corridors
The kept bushland and nature strips feed mulch and leaves into yard pits, which choke readily and push water back toward the house wall.
Overland flow streets
Council mapping puts the bigger exposure in water sheeting off the slopes, with Lincoln Crescent, Halifax Street and Brockman Drive the streets to watch.
What a Stormwater Call Covers
We handle the full stormwater system, from the downpipe to the street kerb:
Downpipes and Connections
Roof water piped away from walls and foundations instead of dumping at the slab edge. We re-hang, re-seat or re-run the connections so every downpipe delivers to the line.
Yard Pits and Grates
Silted or leaf-choked surface pits cleared, rebuilt or re-graded so they catch water again. Where a grate sits below the surrounding paving, we lift it and reset the level.
Subsoil Lines
Agi drains behind retaining walls that have stopped taking seepage and started ponding it. We clear the geotextile choke and restore the fall so the wall dries between storms.
Kerb Outlets and Pipes
The buried run from pit to street, cleared of silt, roots and sagged sections. Where the outlet has shifted or silted at the kerb, we re-cut the connection to hold.
Common Stormwater Problems
Pits Overflowing in Minutes
A storm cell bursts over the ridge and the yard pit fills before the first downpipe empties. Silt and leaf litter off the corridors are usually to blame, and a clean-out fixes it.
Water at the Garage
Stormwater runs to the lowest part of the block, and on stepped Ellendale lots that means under the garage door, so we clear the grated drain and re-check the fall.
Soggy Ground After Rain
A patch of lawn wet days after the weather clears points to a split or sagged stormwater line leaking into the soil. The camera finds the break and the fix follows the picture.
Retaining Walls Staying Damp
A wall that never dries is often carrying seepage a subsoil line should have taken. Clearing that line, or re-laying it to the slope, takes the water load off the wall.
Why It Matters
It protects the structure
Water held against a slab, a batter or a retaining wall works at the joints and the footings day after day. Moving it away properly beats repairing what it undermines.
It keeps the low side dry
On a hillside estate one blocked pit can put a neighbour's garage under water as well as your own. A clear line keeps the water moving past both properties.
It is diagnosed, not guessed
We clear the choke, then check the grade and where the line daylights, so the same blockage does not return with the next cell off the ridge.

Stormwater Questions From Upper Kedron
Call (07) 3067 4276Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Upper Kedron property?
Urban Utilities looks after the public water main and sewer in the street, while the stormwater pipes, pits and downpipe connections on your side of the boundary are yours to maintain and clear.
Why do the stormwater pits here fill so quickly in a storm?
Both creeks that drain this ridge rise inside the suburb, so rain off the bush slopes hits the street drains fast and the pits overflow before the downstream pipes can keep up.
Can a blocked stormwater drain flood my garage?
Yes, because many Ellendale lots step down a slope, so water held in a choked pit or grated drain spills over the paved areas and reaches the garage at the bottom of the street.
Do bush roots get into stormwater lines around Upper Kedron?
They do, because the D'Aguilar park edge and the estate's kept nature corridors sit close to many back fences, and any weeping joint in a stormwater line becomes a root entry point.
Will a camera inspection find where my Upper Kedron stormwater line is blocked?
A CCTV drain inspection shows the exact choke, whether it is silt, roots or a sagged section, and that tells us whether clearing will hold or whether a section needs reworking.
