Downpipe and Gully Clearing
When downpipes bubble and gullies spill in a thunderstorm, packed leaf litter at the grate is usually to blame, and clearing it puts roof water back down the pipe where it belongs.

Surface Water Around Kallangur
A storm line gives nothing away while the weather stays dry. It announces itself during the first proper downpour of the season, so gullies, downpipes and yard drains are worth a look before November arrives. The drain services page lists every service in one spot.
What Blocking Stormwater Drains Means on Kallangur Blocks
Rain runs rather than soaks
This is undulating ground on alluvial and shale soils, so a summer downpour turns into sheet flow, travels the council-mapped overland flow paths and drops silt and leaf litter into the gullies and yard drains along the way.
The creeks draw the flood map
Freshwater Creek crosses the suburb east-west, Yebri Creek drains the south-west corner, and the council's flood overlay heaps its high and medium hazard along those two corridors and the smaller drainage lines feeding them.
2022 proved the point
After North Pine Dam had been spilling for 13 days, localised flooding moved through parts of the suburb, and Queensland Parliament's record of the event singled out Roseann Street by name.
Coverage matters more than theory
The storm tide overlay barely reaches Kallangur, so the work here is almost entirely pipes, gullies and flow paths rather than seawater.
Stormwater Work We Do
Once we find where the flow stops, the whole roof, yard and surface water system gets treated in the same visit:
Flushing Silt from the Run
Summer rain on ground like this washes grit down the pipes, so jet blasting scours the walls clean and restores full capacity between storms rather than leaving the bore narrower each season.
Yard Drains and Gully Traps
Yard drains low in the garden catch wash from every storm, and a flush through the trap or a pass with the electric eel clears the soil so ordinary rain soaks away.
Root Cutting in Surface Lines
Where tree roots have entered a stormwater line, cutting the intruding growth back and flushing the debris out restores capacity now and buys time before any structural repair is discussed.
Downpipes Pushing Water Back
Roof water backing out of a downpipe while rain still falls means the storm line has choked, and clearing the choke protects eaves, fascia and ceilings from whatever falls next.
Camera Checks on Repeat Blocks
A stormwater line that chokes every wet season usually hides a crack, a root mat or a silt bed, and a CCTV drain inspection puts the real cause on screen before guesswork.

Stormwater Problems We See Regularly
Most callouts fall into four patterns, and every one of them has a straightforward fix:
Puddles That Overstay
Puddles that linger for days after ordinary rain point to a silted run rather than saturated ground, and clearing the line lets the low spots dry out long before the next storm.
Roof Water with Nowhere to Go
Gutters spilling over in a storm usually mean the downpipe below them is choked with leaves or silt, and once that pipe is cleared the roof water runs to the street again.
Gullies Surging in Heavy Weather
Gullies that surge and spill across the lawn during a downpour show a system running past its capacity, and clearing the restriction brings that capacity back ahead of the next burst.
A Wet Season Regular
One storm line blocking summer after summer points at a structural fault or an established root mat rather than bad luck, so finding the cause once ends the yearly callout cycle.
Why a Slow Storm Line Deserves a Prompt Clear
Overflow picks its own route otherwise
Water pushed back up a half-full run finds the low points near your slab instead of the street, and clearing hands that routing back to gravity.
Silt only ever grows
Each storm lays another layer inside the pipe, so a line that barely coped this season fails outright in the next, and an early clear keeps the job small.
Standing water attacks the pipe
Pressure held at joints and fittings finds any crack going, which is when the drain repairs option shifts from optional to urgent.
How a Stormwater Clear Runs
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3522 5670, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
Price agreed before work
We find the cause, explain the fix and give you a fixed upfront price, and the work only starts once you agree to it.
- 3
Trace and flush
The plumber works outward from the downpipes and gullies along each surface water line, breaking up silt and root growth until the full run carries water toward the street.
- 4
Proof it's clear
We test the drain with running water until it flows freely and show you the result before leaving the job.

Where the Stormwater Work Reaches

Stormwater Questions and Answers
Call (07) 3522 5670Which yards in Kallangur flood first in a summer storm?
Yards beside Freshwater Creek and Yebri Creek and along the mapped overland flow paths take storm water first, because the council's overlay rates those corridors as the higher-hazard ground.
Does undulating ground make stormwater drainage worse in Kallangur?
It can in older parts of the suburb, because alluvial and shale soils shed heavy rain as surface flow, and that wash carries grit into gully traps until one of them chokes and holds everything upstream.
When do stormwater lines block near Freshwater Creek?
Trouble peaks from November to March, when thunderstorms drop heavy bursts onto pipes already carrying silt, and much of the suburb's long-run average of 1130mm of rain lands inside those months.
Who fixes the street stormwater network in Kallangur?
Drains inside your boundary are yours to clear, while the street stormwater network falls to the City of Moreton Bay, and Unitywater looks after the water and sewer mains separately.
Can a flooded yard near Yebri Creek be cleared in one visit?
Often yes, because most stormwater callouts turn out to be silt and leaf litter that flushes clear on the spot, with a camera only needed when the same line keeps choking every wet season.
