Gutters and Downpipes
We clear the roof run from gutter to ground: leaves packed in downpipes, mossed elbows and a first flush of sand that settles where the pipe dips before the pit.

Stormwater fails loudly. When the pits fill and the drive turns into a lake, this is the page you wanted, and the drainage page has the rest of what we do.
Stormwater Help Around Banksia Beach
Roof water on this island has one direction: out. What stops it reaching the canal or the street is almost always silt, a shifted joint or a tide holding the outlet, and all three are fixable without digging up the whole run.
What the Water Faces Here
A tide at the far end
The canals were cut along an old creek line, and most stormwater runs this side of the island finish at water the tide raises and lowers, so an outlet sitting under a king tide holds the whole run until it drops.
Overlay streets
Council's flood and coastal mapping runs along almost the full length of Endeavour Drive, Marina Boulevard, Cosmos Avenue and Voyagers Drive, and parts of the suburb carry a high storm tide inundation rating, so outlets can go under while the rain is still falling.
What that means for the job
Clearing alone does not always hold here, because outlet height and fall matter as much as the choke. We check where the line daylights before promising what it will do in the next storm.
Stormwater Work We Handle
The blocked stormwater work we do for Banksia Beach homes runs from the gutter to the outlet:
Grates and Pits
Surface pits get emptied and flushed, grates reset, and silt baskets refitted so the next storm drops its load somewhere it can be shovelled out rather than flushed deeper.
Stormwater Pipes
Stormwater lines get cleared and camera checked, so we know whether silt, a root strand through a joint, or a line that has gone flat is holding the water back.
Outlets and Soakaways
Where a line daylights to a canal or the street, we rod the outlet clear, reseat the fall and check the tide height, starting with blocked drains before blocked sewer.

Stormwater Faults We Find
Four faults cover most of the stormwater calls we get here:
Silted Pits
A pit full of sand points at the water table doing the carrying, not the storm: we flush the line, reset the fall, and the pit empties after the next shower.
Tide Held Water
Water sitting in grates on a dry day is usually the tide holding the outlet rather than a choke: the line drains by itself once the canal level drops.
Roots at Joints
Melaleuca and banksia roots hunt water through saturated sand and find any displaced stormwater joint; we cut the strand, reseal the joint, and the pit stops filling again after rain.
Fall Gone Flat
A stormwater line that has settled flat holds water and silt at every low point; we reseat the sagged section, and the grate stops holding a small puddle between rains.
Why the Ground Makes It Worse
Sand in every joint
The state soil mapping shows old barrier-dune sand under most of the suburb, and with the water table sitting close to the surface, groundwater washes sand into every joint that has moved.
Peat that stays wet
Peaty Organosol swamp soil stays saturated year round, so a trench opened for a repair fills before the joint goes in, and we bring a pump to every dig on the low streets.
Why Clear Stormwater Matters
Three reasons the clearing is worth doing properly, and all of them are about what the water does next:
Your slab and your drive
Stormwater that cannot leave pools against the slab and across the drive, and on sand that water travels. A puddle sitting at the pit can mean a damp floor edge within days.
The next storm
The long-run average sits near 1246 mm of rain a year here, falling mostly through the wet summers, so one cleared line gets tested again within weeks. Checking the fall while we are on site saves the second call.
The sewer is a separate system
Roof water belongs in the stormwater side, not the sewer, and this island's sewer network is lifted by pump stations throughout. When a storm outage stalls one of them, effluent can track back up the lowest gully traps on its streets, so keeping the two systems apart matters.

Stormwater Questions From Banksia Beach
Call (07) 3067 4274Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Banksia Beach property?
Council looks after the street stormwater and the kerb and channel it runs to, while every pit, pipe and downpipe inside your boundary is yours, so a blockage on your side is ours to clear.
Why do my stormwater grates hold water on a clear day in Banksia Beach?
The outlets discharge into the canals and into the Channel, so a king tide may hold the line; we clear the outlet and check the fall so it drains once the tide drops.
Can sand get into my stormwater pipes in Banksia Beach?
Yes, old dune sand sits under most of this suburb, and groundwater moving through it carries grains toward shifted joints, where they settle at the first dip or bend and hold the line.
Does a CCTV drain inspection work on stormwater lines in Banksia Beach?
It does, and salt air and wet ground age these joints quickly, so a camera pass after clearing shows whether you need a reseal, a new section or just the silt shovelled out.
Do I need a soakage pit or a connection for stormwater in Banksia Beach?
With the water table so close to the surface across the peaty soils here, soakage often will not take the load, so most homes drain to the street or the canal wherever the fall allows.
