Specialist Plumbers For Blocked Stormwater Drains
A blocked stormwater drain can go from nuisance to an absolute emergency in minutes – especially during Sydney’s storm season. When water starts backing up around your property, pooling in your yard, or overflowing into your garage, you need fast, expert help from a plumber who knows what to do.
Stormwater drain blocked? Here at Link Plumbing, we provide complete stormwater services, with a strong focus on identifying and unblocking stormwater drains safely and permanently.
With over 35 years of experience across Sydney’s North Shore, Hills District, and surrounding suburbs, our team has the tools and know-how to get your stormwater system flowing again – fast.
Sydney Stormwater Drain Cleaning Services
We don’t just poke a hole in the blockage and call it fixed. Our Sydney plumbers use ultra high-powered water jetters to break up and flush away even the toughest debris. We combine this with high-definition camera footage to make sure the entire system is clean – not just the section you can see.
Our stormwater services include:
- Storm water drain blockage detection
- Storm water drain cleaning with high-pressure jetters
- Tree root removal from stormwater pipes
- Pipe relining or replacement if structural damage is found
- Pit and grate cleaning and maintenance
- Advice on improving long-term water flow.
When it comes to how to unblock stormwater drain systems properly, the answer is always: find the cause, clear it thoroughly, and make sure it doesn’t come back.
Our Stormwater Clearing Process - What to Expect
Here’s how we go about clearing blocked stormwater drains:
- Inspection: We use CCTV drain inspection cameras to check your stormwater layout and locate the blockage.
- Assessment: We determine whether jetting, root cutting, or repair is needed.
- Ultra High-Pressure Jetting: We clear the obstruction from the pipe using professional equipment.
- Final Inspection: We re-scan the line to confirm it’s fully cleared
- Repair (if required): We can repair damaged pipes or reline them to avoid excavation.
We’ll also give you practical advice on how to avoid future stormwater blockage issues, especially if your home sits in a leafy or low-lying area of Sydney.

Signs Of Blocked Stormwater Drains In Sydney
Not sure if you need a plumber yet? Here are some common signs that indicate a blocked storm water drain or pit:
- Water pooling near your driveway or yard after rain
- Gurgling or bubbling noises from outdoor grates
- Overflow from your downpipes or stormwater pits
- Smells coming from drains or pits
- Slow draining or backflow near garage entry points.
Noticing any of these? It’s likely you have a stormwater pipe blocked and needing urgent attention. Leaving it too long can result in water entering your home or eroding your foundation.
DIY Stormwater Maintenance & Troubleshooting Tips
We get a lot of calls from customers who first tried to fix it themselves. While we always recommend hiring a professional for stormwater issues (especially anything underground), here are a few basic things you can safely try at home:
- Check and clear any visible grates or pits
- Rinse pits with a garden hose to push through minor debris
- Install leaf guards on gutters to reduce future build-up
- Inspect your downpipes during heavy rain for overflow.
If you’re searching how to unblock a stormwater drain and your attempts haven’t worked – or made things worse – stop and call in the friendly pros. DIY jetting or chemical use can damage pipes or push the blockage further down the line.
What Causes A Stormwater Drain Blockage?
Most homeowners don’t think about stormwater drains … until there’s a problem. But in reality, these systems can be vulnerable to several issues:
- Tree roots invading underground pipes
- Build-up of mud, leaves, and garden debris
- Collapsed or cracked pipe sections
- Incorrect fall or drainage design
- Old or undersized piping.
If your stormwater drain is blocked, it’s usually the result of more than just one issue. That’s why our process starts with a thorough inspection – we use CCTV cameras to locate the blockage and determine the cause before recommending the best method to clear it.
Prevent Future Blockages With Regular Cleaning
Prevention is always better than cure. That’s why we also offer routine stormwater drain cleaning for high-risk homes and businesses. A simple clean-out once or twice a year can save thousands in flood damage repairs.
We also recommend:
- Clearing debris from around stormwater pits
- Cleaning gutters and downpipes regularly
- Replacing old or broken pit covers
- Installing larger grates where flooding is common.
Wondering how to unblock stormwater pipe lines without ending up in the same mess again? proactive maintenance is always the key.
