A real person answers, day or night
Rain has to go somewhere, and blocked stormwater sends it the wrong way
When pits brim and water pools against the slab in a downpour, the stormwater run is blocked or graded too flat, so ring (02) 9072 0592 and we will get the run-off flowing off your property again.
Why the town centre sheds water so hard
The stretch around Westfield Hurstville and the Park Road frontage near the rail interchange is almost entirely roofed and paved, and every storm the rain lands on it has to be piped, not soaked away.
- Sealed catchments Rooftops, podiums and paved forecourts feed pits built for a hard surface, so the run-off arrives fast and all at once instead of trickling through soil, loading a network the old streets were never built to carry.
- Ridge-top, not riverside This is an inland ridge above the Georges River, so the flooding here is flash surcharge in the dense centre during a heavy downpour rather than slow water rising off a river.
The stormwater work we take on
Stormwater is a distinct branch of our drainage offering, kept separate from the sewer, and we clear, mend and re-grade the entire run-off system so a heavy downpour sheds away from the building instead of pooling against it:
Blocked stormwater pits
Leaf-packed surface pits and silted sumps that brim over in every storm are jetted and vacuumed back to a clear base, so the catchment drains at the rate it was built for rather than backing up across the whole yard.
Downpipes and roof drains
Roof water overflowing gutters or gushing from a disconnected downpipe gets traced back to the blockage or break, then cleared and reconnected to the stormwater line so the discharge leaves the roof and reaches the street rather than the footings.
Sub-soil and yard drains
Waterlogged lawns and damp underfloor spaces usually mean the sub-soil ag lines have silted up, which we flush clear or renew so ground water drains away from the slab instead of sitting under the house through a long wet week.
Re-grading a run
Pipework laid too flat or dropped over time cannot shift a downpour no matter how clean it is, so we re-grade the run to a proper fall, giving the water the slope it genuinely needs to carry itself right away.
Storm season and the low points that flood first
When the summer downpours arrive over the dense centre, the trouble spots are always the same, and they are worth tackling ahead of the wet months rather than during them.
- The low doorway Basement entries, garage ramps and ground-floor thresholds sit at the bottom of the fall, so they take the surface water first when a pit upstream cannot keep up, and a blocked grate turns a puddle into an indoor flood.
- The packed downpipe Leaves gather in gutters and downpipe heads through autumn, so the first heavy storm finds them full, and roof water that should be piped away spills straight down the wall instead.
Common stormwater problems we fix
Two stormwater faults surface again and again once the wet weather sets in, and a camera check shows which:
Water pooling at the slab
Water that gathers against the house every time it rains points to a pit or line that cannot take the flow, and left through a season that standing water works into the footings and under the floor.
The pit that overflows
Surface pits that overflow only in heavy rain are usually silted below the outlet or fed by a line that has lost its fall, both of which a clear and a camera check settle before the next storm tests them again.
Why blocked stormwater should not wait
Stormwater that cannot get away does its damage where you least want it, so a blocked line is worth clearing before the season rather than after the flood has already reached the door:
- Water finds the foundations Run-off pooling against the slab seeps down into the footings, and on this reactive-clay ground the swelling and drying under the house is what cracks paths, tiles and walls over a few wet seasons.
- An indoor flood starts outside A blocked pit or grate at a low doorway is what separates a puddle in the yard from water across the floor, so the small clear now heads off the far larger clean-up later.
- Blocked pits back up fast Unlike a slow sink, a stormwater line is asked to move a huge volume in minutes, so a pit half full of silt copes in drizzle and fails completely in the downpour it actually matters for.
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, re-grade and prove
Clearing the pits and lines with jetting and a vacuum, we fix the fall where the run has dropped, then flood-test the system with a hose so you watch it swallow the flow before we call the job done.
- 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 Hurstville
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 Hurstville 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
Storm run-off is a shared problem across the ridge, so we clear and re-grade stormwater right through the suburb and into Penshurst, Mortdale, Allawah, Kogarah and Beverly Hills, timing the bigger jobs ahead of the season.

Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions from Hurstville locals
Who is responsible for a blocked stormwater drain?
On your property the stormwater lines are yours to maintain, and we service them end to end from the roof to the boundary connection where they finally leave the block.
Why does my yard flood only in heavy rain?
The line copes in light rain, but a pit silted below its outlet or a pipe no longer holding its fall backs up once a downpour asks it to move real volume.
Can you stop water pooling against my house?
Yes, by clearing the pits, fixing the fall on the run and reconnecting any broken downpipe, so run-off is carried to the street rather than settling against the slab.
Do you handle stormwater for apartment blocks?
Yes, we clear podium pits, shared risers and the surface drains around the towers, coordinating access with the building so the whole catchment drains rather than one balcony outlet.
Is there a call out fee to look at a stormwater problem?
No, looking at the problem and quoting it both cost $0, and you pay one fixed price only once you approve the clear or repair it needs.
When is the best time to clear stormwater drains?
Ahead of the summer storm season is ideal, because clearing silted pits and packed downpipes before the first big downpour is what keeps run-off out of the low doorways.
