Keeping the rain moving when the ground and the bay are both full
Stormwater here is a battle against a full catchment. When the ground is saturated and the outfall slow, water backs up fast, so your block's system has to be built to shed it.
Why the water pools where it does around here

The stormwater work we take on
Every stormwater job is about getting the water gathered, graded and carried to the discharge point, whether that means clearing a choked system, connecting one, or lifting water off a block that sits too low:
Pit and channel clearing
When leaves and sand choke the yard pits after a storm off Wentworth Avenue, we vacuum and rod the chambers clear, flush the connecting lines, and reset the grates so the next downpour drains away instead of rising across paving.
Downpipe connections
Where a downpipe simply dumps roof water beside the footings, we connect it into a sealed stormwater line and carry that flow out to the legal point, holding it well clear of the sandy footings it would otherwise slowly soften.
Surface and yard drainage
For a backyard that turns to a pond in a storm, we set strip drains and a graded channel, join them to the stormwater run, and fall the surface so the water is gathered and led out rather than sitting.
Pump-out systems
On the low blocks that sit below the street drain, we install a sealed pit and stormwater pump so runoff is lifted up to the main rather than backing into the yard whenever the bay and the rain arrive together.

Common stormwater problems we fix
The stormwater faults we are called to most, and what lies behind them:
Overflowing pits
A pit that brims over in every storm is usually silted or undersized for the flow reaching it, and clearing it out or upsizing the chamber lets the system swallow the peak rather than spill it back.
Water against the house
Runoff that ponds against the walls after rain is finding the low point of a yard with no fall built into it, and cutting in graded drainage carries that water clear before it works down into the footings.
Tide-and-rain surcharge
When a drain backs up only during a downpour that meets a high tide, the outfall is the limit, not the pipe, so a non-return valve or a pump keeps the bay from pushing water back up the line.
Why stormwater problems are worth fixing early
Water that is not carried away does its damage quietly, under the surface, before you see the real cost:
- It undermines the slab Repeated pooling saturates the sandy footing zone and can crack the slab above. Grading the water away keeps the ground under the house dry.
- It rots what it sits against Standing water works into subfloors, paths and retaining walls over the seasons. Carrying it off protects the brick and render it would otherwise rot.
- It floods the neighbours Runoff you do not manage crosses the boundary and becomes a dispute. A graded, discharged system keeps your water yours and the fence line friendly.
How it works
How our stormwater work runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Graded and tested
Your plumber clears or builds the drainage the site needs, sets each pit and pipe to a fall that carries water to the legal discharge point, then runs a hose through so you watch it drain before the next storm.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Pagewood for stormwater
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Pagewood works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Stormwater help across the neighbouring suburbs
We plan and fix stormwater through Botany, Eastgardens, Eastlakes, Hillsdale and Maroubra too, always reading the block against the fall of the land and how far it sits above the bay before we size a single pit or pump.
Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions Pagewood homeowners ask
Why does my yard flood even in moderate rain?
This is a low, sandy catchment with a constrained system, so once the pits fill or the ground saturates the water simply has nowhere left to drain and pools across the surface.
Can you stop water pooling against my house?
Yes, we build fall away from the walls and set channel or strip drains into a stormwater line, so roof and yard water is led out rather than soaking the footings.
What can be done on a block below the street drain?
A low block usually needs a sealed sump with a stormwater pump, which sends collected runoff up to the main so it cannot back into the yard when the drain is full.
Does the high tide really affect my stormwater?
It can, because when a bay surge or high tide meets heavy rain the outfall has nowhere to release, so the low-lying system slows and water rises back onto the surface.
Do you connect downpipes into the stormwater properly?
We join each downpipe to a sealed, graded line running out to the correct outlet, so roof water stays off the sandy ground where it would otherwise undermine the slab.
How do you price stormwater work before starting?
Your plumber assesses the fall, the pits and the discharge point, then prices the whole job at one written total before starting, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added later.
