A real person answers, day or night
When the sky opens, your stormwater has one job
A downpour dumps more water on a roof and yard in an hour than a dry week ever sees, and a blocked or undersized line turns that surge into a flooded garage. Call (02) 9072 0592 before the next storm makes the point for you.
Why the falling streets flood before the flat ones
Everything runs to the low corner
Undersized for today's hard surfaces
Warm-season rain hits hardest
Stormwater services we provide
Roof and surface water needs a clear, correctly sized path away from the house, so our drainage crew clears, rebuilds and upgrades the whole surface network rather than just the one blocked pit:
Pit and pipe clearing
Silt, leaves and washed-in grit choke stormwater pits and their outlet pipes over time, so we flush the line back to full bore and clear the pit sump, restoring the flow a surcharging drain lost long before you noticed the pooling.
Downpipe rerouting
Downpipes that dump straight beside the wall drive water into the footings, so we redirect them into properly connected lines carrying roof water well clear of the slab, which protects the foundations from the constant saturation that cracks and lifts them.
Line upsizing
Where a pipe simply cannot carry what the block now sheds, we replace the undersized run with larger line and extra pits sized for real downpours, so the system finally matches the paved area instead of surrendering at the first heavy fall.
Surface and channel drains
Paved areas that sheet water toward the house get a channel or grated drain set across the flow, intercepting run-off before it reaches the door and carrying it away to a proper outlet rather than letting it pond against the threshold.
Where run-off gathers on the low side
The streets that slope to the inlet
Garages cut into the fall
Older gardens holding water
Why stormwater problems are worth solving early
Ignored stormwater does its damage slowly and then all at once, so getting ahead of it protects both the building and the ground it stands on:
- Water at the footings undermines the house Roof run-off pooling against the slab keeps the soil saturated and moving. Over seasons that constant wet-and-dry works cracks into brickwork and lifts paths and paving.
- A flooded garage ruins what is stored there Surface water pouring into a low garage soaks boxes, tools and anything on the floor within minutes. The fix is a drain, not a mop, and it costs far less before the flood arrives.
- Overflow finds the sewer When surface water surcharges it can push into gully traps and overload the shared system, turning a rain event into a household backup that has nothing to do with what went down a sink.
How it works
How we sort your stormwater, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 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
Clear, reroute or upsize
The moment you approve, we flush and camera the surface line, then do what the footage calls for, whether that is clearing a silted pit, redirecting a downpipe or laying larger pipe, so the run-off finally leaves the way it should.
- 04
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 Mortdale
Stormwater work only proves itself in the next big storm, so it has to be right the first time, and that comes down to the crew:
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 Mortdale 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
Areas we service
We keep stormwater running across Peakhurst, Oatley, Penshurst, Hurstville and Allawah plus our own streets, and since so many of these blocks tip toward the river on the same heavy clay, the crew knows where the water goes before the first pit is lifted.
Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions Mortdale locals ask
Why does the yard flood only when it pours?
The surface system is either choked or undersized for the run-off your block now sheds, so a sudden downpour arrives faster than the pits and pipes can shift it and it backs up.
Are stormwater and sewer drains the same thing?
No, the sewer carries waste from the house while stormwater carries only surface and roof water, and we keep the two apart so neither overloads or contaminates the other.
Why is the low side of the block always the wet one?
Ground on the southern edge slopes down toward the Georges River, so the low end of the street copes with the water first whenever the older pits upstream cannot swallow the flow.
Can you stop water pooling against my footings?
Yes, by clearing or upsizing the line and redirecting downpipes so roof water is taken well away from the slab, keeping the footings out of the standing wet that cracks and heaves them.
Do older properties have undersized stormwater?
Very often, because many pits and pipes were sized for a far quieter, less-paved street, so today's driveways, patios and extensions push far more run-off into pipes that were never built to carry it.
How do you find where a stormwater line is blocked?
A camera is run down the line to find the blockage or collapse and gauge how far along it lies from a pit, so the repair is aimed exactly where it is needed rather than guessed at with a trench.
