A real person answers, day or night
When the yard floods after every storm, the stormwater system is failing
Water pooling against the house or creeping under a door after a downpour means the pits or pipes are overwhelmed. Call (02) 9072 0502 and we will find exactly where the flow is stalling.
Why storm runoff lingers on ground this low and flat
Nowhere for the water to fall
Saturated sand below
Overloaded street systems
The stormwater work we take on
Getting a downpour off your property before it reaches the door takes a working chain of pits, pipes and outlets, and we clear, repair and upgrade every link in it:
Clearing blocked pits
Silted pits, choked downpipes and leaf-packed grates are cleaned out and flushed so the system can actually take a storm, because a pit half-full of sand and debris sheds only a fraction of the water it should.
Repairing storm lines
Cracked, crushed or root-blocked stormwater pipes are dug out and replaced or relined, restoring the full bore that lets a sudden downpour move through quickly instead of backing up and surfacing across the lowest part of the yard.
Upgrading capacity
Where the original drainage was never sized for the runoff a modern roof and paved yard produce, we fit larger pipes, extra pits or a pump so the property finally sheds a heavy storm the way it needs to.
Pumps and soak wells
On blocks where the water table blocks natural soakage, a sealed pump well lifts collected stormwater up and out to the street or a legal discharge point, keeping runoff moving even when the ground below is already full.
Where stormwater bites hardest around here
The flats off Foreshore Road
Paved and built-out yards
The summer storm season
Common stormwater problems we fix
Pooling that will not drain
Water left standing for hours across flat ground after the rain has stopped points to a pit or pipe that has silted up or collapsed, and clearing or repairing it gets the property draining freely again.
Overflowing downpipes
A downpipe that gushes over at the gutter line in a storm is usually feeding a blocked or undersized stormwater drain below, so the water backs up the pipe and spills where it can do the most harm.
Water entering the home
Runoff creeping under a door or into a garage after heavy rain means the surface water has nowhere else to go, and redirecting it into a cleared or upgraded system keeps the next storm outside where it belongs.
Why sorting stormwater properly matters here
Poor stormwater drainage does slow, expensive damage long before anyone calls it flooding, and on low, sandy ground the harm reaches the parts of a home you can least afford to lose:
Damp that undermines
Erosion and lost yard
Flooded under-floor space
How it works
How a stormwater job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 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, repair, upgrade
As soon as you accept the quote, we clear the silted pits and pipes, replace or reline any failed section, fit extra capacity or a pump where it is needed, then run water through to prove the property sheds a storm.

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 Botany
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 Botany 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.
Stormwater is covered under the wider drainage umbrella we handle, so a failing storm line often ties into drain repair work or a CCTV inspection to find the break.
Where we work
Areas we service
Storm-drainage work takes us across Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Banksmeadow and Rosebery too, where the same low, flat ground and agreed written pricing shape how we shift a downpour.
Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions locals across Botany ask
Why does my yard flood when it rains heavily?
The low, flat ground near the foreshore has little slope to shed water, and with the aquifer sitting close beneath, saturated sand stops it soaking away, so runoff pools instead.
Can you stop stormwater pooling against my house?
Yes, by clearing or upgrading the pits and pipes and, where the ground stays too wet to soak, fitting a pump well that lifts the collected runoff out to the street.
Is a soak well any use with a high water table?
Often not on its own, because saturated sand cannot absorb much, so on the lowest blocks a sealed pump well that discharges to the street usually works far better than soakage alone.
Who is responsible for the stormwater pipe on my property?
The drainage within your boundary is the owner's responsibility, so clearing, repairing or upgrading those pits and pipes falls to you, and we handle the lot with one fixed written price.
When should I get my stormwater checked?
Late spring is ideal, before the summer storm season, so clearing the pits and checking the outlets then means the system is ready when the heaviest falls finally arrive.
What does stormwater drainage work cost?
The call out costs you nothing, and the whole clear, repair or upgrade is priced in writing and agreed before work begins, so the bill never grows past the number you signed off.
