Downpipes and Connections
Roof water gets routed from every downpipe into the buried line, with joints checked, silt cleared and any root-struck connection cut out and replaced so the roof drains freely again.

Stormwater Trouble on the Slopes
Stormwater here has one job: move rain off your roof and yard down toward the creeks before it pools against the house. When that line blocks, the water finds somewhere else to go, and it is usually somewhere you would rather it was not.
What Makes Stormwater Different Here
Mapped flow paths
Moreton Bay's stormwater mapping shows runoff crossing these slopes on its way down to the creek lines, so a pit or downpipe connection does real work every time heavy rain sits over the suburb.
Steep falls that flatten
House drains on the phyllite hillsides drop fast toward the creeks, then slow where the pipe flattens near the street connection, and that first flat length is where silt and debris settle.
Trees close to the line
Big natives shade the parks and reserves, including Kenny Park on Timms Road and Lionel Burton Park on Bennetts Road, and fine roots track moisture along old drain trenches.
Core Stormwater Services
These are the stormwater jobs that come up most around the hill streets and the bigger western blocks:
Pits and Grates
Stormwater pits get emptied, rebedded and refitted with grates sitting where the water actually pools, so runoff enters the line instead of holding against the slab or washing across the yard.
Yard and Surface Drains
Strip drains, spoon drains and grated gullies get set along the low paths where water travels, with the fall checked from the yard out to the discharge point.
Line Repairs
Blocked or collapsed pipe sections get located, dug and renewed in matching sizes, with the new line laid at a fall that keeps water moving instead of dropping its silt.

Common Stormwater Problems
Water Pooling at the Pit
Silt, mulch and leaf litter wash in until the grate sits under water, and the fix is usually a quick clean-out plus a check of the fall beyond the pit.
Downpour Overflowing the Gutters
A blocked buried line backs water up the downpipes until the gutters fill and run over the fascia, so clearing the line stops the overflow at the source rather than at the eaves.
Water Lying Near the Slab
Yard drains that flatten out near the house let stormwater sit against the edge, and standing water there works its way under, so the low section gets regraded or relaid.
Roots in the Line
Fine roots find the moisture in an old stormwater trench and grow into the joints, and once the line is cleared, the vulnerable joint gets sealed or replaced.
Why Clearing It Matters
Stormwater never blocks at a convenient time
It blocks in the rain, announces itself as a flooded yard or a drowned pit, and the damage it does while you wait is water where it should not be.
A surcharging line can reach the house
Once the buried pipe is full, water pushes back up the lowest connection, which on these slopes is often the yard gully or the pit nearest the slab.
Small jobs stay small when they are caught early
A pit that drains slowly after every storm is telling you something, and clearing it costs far less than the repair after a full backup.

Trace the water, not the guesswork
The line gets checked from the pit or downpipe through to its discharge point, with the blockage located and cleared before any digging is discussed, so the quote lands on the exact fault.

Blocked Stormwater Questions
Call (07) 3067 4289Why do my Everton Hills stormwater pits overflow only during storms?
Because the council's overland flow mapping covers these slopes, a storm cell loads pits and downpipes in ways an ordinary shower never does, and any backup reveals itself at the flattest pipe.
Is stormwater separate from the sewer at an Everton Hills house?
Yes, stormwater carries rain and yard runoff toward the creeks while the sewer carries waste to the Unitywater main, so a blocked stormwater line floods the yard long before anything backs up inside.
Can blocked stormwater push water into my Everton Hills house?
It can, because a surcharging pit or drowned yard drain sends water back up the lowest point of the block, which is why the low ground near the two creeks goes under first.
Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Everton Hills property?
Unitywater maintains the street mains, while the stormwater line across your own block is the owner's to keep clear, so the clearing and any repairs sit with you rather than the utility.
Should gutters and stormwater be checked before storm season?
Thunderstorms run from November to March here, so a spring check of pits, downpipes and gutters catches silt and leaf buildup before the first severe cell arrives.
