Auburn Blocked Stormwater, Sorted Same Day

Stormwater and sewer are separate systems, and we work on both, but this page is about rain, not waste.

The jobs we're called out for most:

If your yard floods every time it rains hard, one of these is usually why.

We bring the same jetter and camera rig to every call-out, whether it's a single gully or a whole property's stormwater system that needs a look.

Low ground in Auburn sits inside a catchment that was never going to make stormwater easy.

This suburb sits partly inside the catchment that drains toward the Duck River and A'Becketts Creek, where the older stormwater lines were never sized for how hard it rains here now.

Around Chisholm Road, where that low-lying flow path runs closest to the street, we get called out for the same pattern every summer. A pit that handles ordinary rain without complaint still surcharges the moment a proper storm cell rolls in.

It's not usually one bad pipe. It's an older system built for a lighter rainfall pattern than Sydney storms now deliver.

Auburn's hot inland summers add their own twist. The same intense afternoon storms that break a run of 30-plus-degree days are often the ones that dump the most water in the shortest time.

That's exactly when an undersized line has the least room to cope. A pit that handles a steady drizzle without trouble can still surcharge within minutes once a summer storm cell rolls through.

Higher ground away from the Duck River corridor doesn't see nearly the same pattern, so where your property sits in that catchment tells us a lot before we even arrive.

Fixing stormwater properly means moving water, not just shifting the blockage a metre downstream.

1. Confirm the fixed price: agreed before the jetter or camera comes off the truck.
2. Locate the cause: pit inspection or CCTV run to see exactly what's blocking the line.
3. Clear or repair: jetting for debris, relining or excavation if the pipe itself has failed.
4. Check the flow and finish: taps run to prove it's draining the way it should, then we tidy up and go.

Most single-pit or gully jobs are sorted within an hour or two of us arriving. A longer channel drain or a run with root damage runs past that, and you'll know before starting rather than have the clock surprise you.

We'd rather send the camera down for an extra look once the water's moving than declare a job done and have you calling back in the next storm.

Storms don't wait for business hours, so neither do we. Someone answers around the clock, not a machine, and that's the point when a downpour hits at midnight.

Book a jet blast and the CCTV camera comes along for free, so you actually see what was blocking the line rather than just hearing that it's fixed.

New customers also save $65 on that first booking, on top of everything else, so the first stormwater call-out costs less than the ones after it.
