Stormwater Services in the Illawarra
Yard flooding, overflowing gutters, water against the slab — we diagnose and fix stormwater issues across the Illawarra with correctly-fall drainage, soakwells and pit-and-pipe.
Local stormwater services you can actually rely on
Stormwater problems show up dramatically during the Illawarra's autumn east-coast lows — pooling around the slab, water tracking under the house, overflowing gutters and downpipes, eroding garden beds and (worst case) water entering the building. The cause is usually a combination: undersized or blocked downpipes, no proper pit-and-pipe to the legal point of discharge, missing or filled-in soakwells, and ground that's been built up against the slab over years of garden work.
We design and install correctly-sized PVC stormwater pipe runs, charged (under-pressure) systems for sloping blocks, soakwells where there's no kerb to discharge into, surface grates and trench drains across driveways and patios, and stormwater pits with silt traps. On rural blocks in Jamberoo, Croom and Tullimbar we connect to gravel infiltration trenches and pump-out systems where the legal point of discharge is uphill.
Where the issue is the gutter side — overflowing during heavy rain, sagging, holes, blocked outlets — we re-pitch gutters, install leaf guard, replace downpipes and clean out gutters with the rain off. Roof leak repairs are handled by our roof-leaks service.
