Stormwater Drains in Everton Park
Stormwater is the only plumbing on your property that has to work hardest exactly when the weather is at its worst, so a line that blocks once is rarely a one-off.
Why Stormwater Blocks Here
Flow paths cross the lots
Council's overland flow maps run storm runoff across Stafford Road, Holloway Drive and Novak Street, over yards whose drains went in when the blocks were wide and the houses few, long before the infill units now standing on them.
Silt moves fast
The suburb's shale gullies shed fine soil in every downpour, and a long-term average of 1047mm of rain a year keeps washing that soil toward every yard pit and surface grate.
The outfall matters
Near Kedron Brook, the receiving water sits high on the low ground, so even a clear line can drain slowly until the brook drops.
What We Clear
Stormwater work ranges from a five-minute downpipe flush to a full line relay, and you will know which one you need before we pick up a tool. Here is what the work covers:
Downpipe Clearing
We clear the downpipes that take roof water to the ground, pulling out leaf litter, silt and tennis balls, then hosing the run to confirm free flow to the street outlet.
Yard Pit Cleaning
We clean yard pits and surface grates, bailing the silt, clearing the trap and checking the pipe beyond, so storm water enters the line instead of pooling on the lawn.
Line Repairs
Where a stormwater line has cracked, sagged or filled with roots, we dig the damaged length and relay it with correct fall, so the run drains rain without backing up.
Grate and Gully Work
We reinstate sunken or smashed grates and gully tops, resetting them level with the surface so they catch sheet runoff again, and we seal the joins against roots and silt.
Common Stormwater Problems
Most stormwater calls fall into four patterns, and each one has a cause we can point at and a fix we can price before we start.
Pool at the Garage
Runoff that stands against a low-set slab usually means a blocked or sagged line between the downpipes and the kerb, and clearing the run stops it reaching the weep holes.
Gullies Overflowing
An overflow at the gully during rain points to a blockage downstream or a high outfall level near the brook, and raising the gully or clearing the line relieves it.
Silt Every Season
Fine soil from the shale gullies washes into pits every storm season, and a yearly clean of the traps keeps the line flowing, where a one-off clear only lasts months.
Roots in the Line
Roots follow the moisture into stormwater joints, and once they lace a length, water backs up fast in a downpour, so we cut them out and repair the entry point.
What the Flood Map Means Here
The creek mapping is the one that matters
Council's February 2022 flood extent covers the low ground along Burwood Road and Everton Park Link Road, and takes in part of Gordon Parade.
The river layers stop short
The 1974 and 2011 Brisbane River flood layers do not reach the suburb, which surprises people who assume the river is the risk.
Your outfall sets the clock
A property whose outfall sits near brook level has a drain standing half full before the storm even peaks, so the fix is usually about fall and outfall height, not just clearing debris.
Why It Matters
Water that cannot get off your property goes wherever gravity sends it, and on these undulating blocks that usually means the garage, the laundry or a low-set slab edge:
Standing water costs money
A yard that floods every storm starts to undercut paths and driveways, and repairs to a slab edge always cost more than the drain clearing that would have prevented it.
The problem compounds
A blocked line holds water, water carries silt, and silt builds more blockage, so each storm makes the next one worse until the run is cleaned properly end to end.
Mosquitoes follow
Anything that holds fresh water for a week in a Queensland summer breeds mosquitoes, and a yard pit that never drains is a permanent incubator.

Stormwater Questions, Answered
Call (07) 3522 5623Who fixes a blocked stormwater drain in Everton Park?
You do, if the blockage sits inside your boundary, because Urban Utilities looks after the public sewer and water mains while stormwater pipes on your property are yours to maintain.
Can a blocked stormwater drain flood my house near Kedron Brook?
It can, because Council's February 2022 flood mapping covers the low ground beside the brook, so a line that cannot drain adds to the water already coming overland.
Is my stormwater allowed to connect to the sewer in Everton Park?
No, the sewer and stormwater run separately, and an illegal cross connection sends storm flow into the shared sewer, so we disconnect any bridged pipes we find and report the change.
When is stormwater clearing busiest in Everton Park?
From the November to March storm season, when hail and torrential rain test every downpipe and yard pit, so clearing the line before the first big storm saves the 3am call.
Can you find where my yard drain blocks before digging in Everton Park?
Yes, a CCTV drain inspection shows the exact length and cause, from roots at a joint to a sagged section, which keeps the repair small and the dig where it counts.
