When a stormwater drainage system is blocked, the results can be more than just inconvenient—they can be destructive. From garden flooding to property damage, poor drainage needs to be addressed quickly. At Aussie Home Services, we offer fast-response stormwater drain unblocking across Sydney, delivering long-term solutions with minimal disruption.

We understand the unique plumbing challenges associated with Sydney’s stormwater blockages. Whether the issue is a build-up of leaves and debris, roof gutters full of silt, or tree roots invading your pipes, our licensed plumbers are trained to diagnose the issue properly and get things flowing again.

  • Upfront Pricing, No Surprises

  • No Hidden Surprises – Just Honest Pricing

    Blocked drains are stressful enough—you don’t need to worry about unexpected fees. With Aussie Home Services, you’ll receive a precise quote up front with no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay.

  • Advanced Equipment, Real Results

    Our plumbers are equipped with high-pressure water jetters, CCTV drain inspection cameras, and specialised tools to get to the source of the blockage—fast. Whether it’s a collapsed pipe or a heavy blockage caused by clogged drains, we’ll have a solution that restores proper water flow.

  • We Clean Up – Always

    Some plumbers unblock your drain and leave a mess behind. We’re not like that. We’ll leave your property as clean as we found it—and in many cases, better. Do you need regular support? We also offer drain cleaning services to keep your system clear and ready before storm season hits.

Common Blocked Stormwater Drain Issues (and how we fix them)

“They cleared the drain but didn’t check why it blocked in the first place.”

We’ve heard this story too many times. Our team doesn’t just fix the blockage—we inspect the system using CCTV and provide a long-term fix. If necessary, we’ll recommend pipe patching to strengthen the section of pipe without complete replacement.

“The last plumber told us to wait until it rains to see if the problem goes away.”

Waiting for the rain isn’t a solution. Our team acts now. Whether your drains are blocked by debris or roots, we’ll resolve the issue on the spot so you don’t risk further problems during periods of heavy water.

“They didn’t know how to work around older drainage systems.”

Older properties often have non-standard layouts or outdated connections. We’re experienced with all types of stormwater systems and provide tailored solutions no matter how old or complex the setup is—including those connected to Sydney Water systems or those with local council compliance requirements.

Blocked Stormwater Drain Services

Stormwater Drain Unblocking

If your stormwater pits or pipes overflow, we’ll clear the blockage using high-pressure water jets. This method is safe, efficient, and highly effective for breaking down built-up debris and silt.

CCTV Stormwater Inspections

We use CCTV cameras to inspect the inside of your stormwater pipes, identifying the location of a blockage or damage so we can recommend the best long-term fix.

Tree Root Removal

Tree roots are a common cause of stormwater blockages. We use specialised cutting and jetting tools to remove roots safely and prevent them from growing back.

Preventative Maintenance

We also provide blocked stormwater maintenance plans to help you avoid problems before the wet season hits. We’ll regularly check your pits, roof gutters, and underground drains to ensure optimal performance.

Stormwater Drain Repair FAQs

What causes stormwater drains to block?

Common causes include leaf litter, silt, rubbish, tree roots, and collapsed pipework. Blockages often occur during or after heavy rain when the system is under pressure. If your drain backs up every time it rains, it’s time to inspect it.

Can I use boiling water to clear a blocked stormwater drain?

While boiling water can sometimes help break down greasy residue in kitchen pipes, it is not recommended for stormwater drains. These pipes typically contain silt, debris or roots that boiling water won’t remove. Instead, contact a blocked drain plumber to inspect and clear the obstruction safely.

What are the signs of a blocked stormwater drain?

You might notice slow drainage, surface water pooling after rain, overflowing pits, gurgling noise from outdoor drains, or backed-up gutters. These are signs that the stormwater drainage system is struggling to keep up with the flow.

Are there any DIY methods I can try?

Some homeowners try baking soda and vinegar or using a drain snake to clear minor blockages, but these are rarely effective for stormwater systems. Most blockages require professional equipment to reach and remove properly. If the blockage persists, contact us for emergency plumbing.

Do you clean up after unblocking the drain?

Yes. We take care of everything from start to finish, including pressure washing and waste disposal, so you’re not left with any mess.

I had a great experience with Aussie Services, especially with Luke, who came out to fix a blocked drain at my property. Luke was extremely professional, friendly and approachable. He took the time to explain the cause of the blockage, clearly explained what needed to be done, and resolved the issue efficiently. I really appreciated his knowledge, honesty and willingness to help. It's refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and provides excellent customer service. Highly recommend Luke and Aussie Services. I'll definitely use their services again in the future!

Very happy with the plumbing work done by Luke and his team. It was a big job but it was carried out with minimal disruption to the household, and the yard. Luke was always good in explaining how the job was progressing, and importantly when we had windows of opportunity to use the sewerage system during the day. They finished the job in a timely manner, and cleaned up afterwards. Happy to recommend this company.

Called and booked for Monday, given between 8 and 12pm for a possible gas leak. Chris showed up 1 minute after he called as he was just around the corner. Chris was polite, informative and professional. Checked all my appliances, one by one and the main meter. Lucky there was no leak and it was a billing issue. Better to be safe than sorry. Also as a first time customer received a discount which was nice as I saw on line if you mention it they knock it off the total price. Zero call out fee and all work quoted up front fixed price. Would highly recommend Aussie Home Services. Its hard yo find great trades these days and Chris fits the bill! Thank you.

We called out Aussie after hours on a long weekend on Grand Final night as we had no power. Not only did they answer, (a real person as well) they sent a level 2 electrician (Paul was highly skilled, extremely professional and a nice person to boot) out who fixed what was a serious issue, all I a few hours.. bravo all round
