Do you face stormwater drainage issues and flooding?
When it rains in Sutherland Shire and your yard floods, your driveway turns into a river, or water pools against the house — your stormwater drainage system is not doing its job. The Blocked Drain Guys clear blocked stormwater drains, repair damaged stormwater pipes, and fix drainage problems across the Shire and Sydney.
Common Stormwater Problems in the Shire
- Blocked stormwater pits — Leaves, silt, sand, and debris fill up stormwater pits and grates, especially in autumn. Once blocked, water has nowhere to go.
- Tree root intrusion — Same as sewer pipes, tree roots find their way into stormwater pipes through joints and cracks. Fig trees and paperbarks are common culprits across the Shire.
- Collapsed or cracked pipes — Old terracotta and concrete stormwater pipes deteriorate over time. The sandstone geology can cause ground movement that shifts and cracks pipes.
- Undersized drainage — Some older Shire homes have stormwater systems that were never designed for heavy Sydney rainfall. They simply cannot handle the volume.
- Salt air corrosion — Properties near the coast in Cronulla, Caringbah, and Kurnell can see accelerated corrosion of metal fittings and connections in the stormwater system.

Leading Causes of Blocked Storm Water Drains
Leaf Debris
Allow excess leaf litter from your gutters or yard to accumulate and enter the drains.
Tree Roots
Tree roots naturally go towards a water source and cracked or porous pipes provide water for trees!
Damaged Pipes
Things can move including your homes foundations and soil. This can move pipes out of alignment and reduce the flow.
Incorrect Waste Disposal
Someone has tipped paint or slurry into your storm water after doing home improvements
