If water is pooling where it should not, this is the page for it. The drainage overview carries the full set, from blocked drains to sewer lines.
Stormwater Drains in Windsor
Roof water and surface water share the same lines through this suburb, so one blocked pit can back up a downpipe, a yard gully and a low driveway all at once. We clear them, repair them and tell you which one it was.
Where the Hills Send Their Water
Eildon Hill lets go fast
Water leaves the high streets around Eildon Road in sheets and settles on the lower blocks toward the south and west, so the side-street pits downslope do the heavy lifting in every storm.
The flats cop the backlog
Kerbside pits on the creek flats can spill over even before Enoggera Creek reaches its peak, which means a partly blocked line down there has nowhere left to drain.
The flood record is long
Council's overlays classify the low-lying land flanking Enoggera and Breakfast creeks as creek flood planning area, and this suburb also appeared on the February 2022 flood list.
What We Clear and Repair
Here is the stormwater work we are called out for, from the shopfronts on Lutwyche Road to the flats beside the creek, and what each job involves:
Roof and Gutter Clears
We clear the leaves and silt that pack your downpipes and outlets, flush each line to the pit with water, and confirm the flow runs freely to the street drain.
Pit and Grate Cleans
Kerbside pits and grates get emptied and washed out, with the silt, leaf litter and grit storms wash down the hill streets hosed from the walls and taken away.
Yard Gully Unblocks
Gully traps and surface drains that hold water get rodded or jetted clear, then flushed until they empty at the same pace as the downpipes feeding them, so nothing stands.
Stormwater Pipe Repairs
Where a length has cracked, dropped or filled with roots, we expose the faulty section, replace it in new pipe, and check the fall with a water test before backfilling.
Common Problems With Stormwater
Water Sitting Around the Pit
A pit brimming after every storm usually means silt and leaf litter washed down the hill streets has settled in the sump, and a clean-out with a screen stops refills.
Overflowing Driveways and Yards
Storm water sheeting off a slope ponds at a low driveway or garage slab when the connecting line is blocked, and one clear moves it straight off your property again.
Gully Traps That Won't Drain
A gully holding water days after rain points to a blocked length or a socket out of line, and a camera shows which one it is before we start digging.
Roots in the Stormwater Line
Roots find old joints in a stormwater run just as they do in a sewer, and once they spread the line traps silt until it blocks, which jetting clears fast.
Why It Matters
Stormwater is the one plumbing system that fails in public, on the footpath and in the neighbour's yard, so it pays to keep it flowing before the next November storm arrives:
Standing water goes indoors
A gully brimming beside a slab or under a Queenslander on stumps is one heavy downpour from the laundry. Clear lines keep the wet stuff outside where it belongs.
The street feels it too
A surcharged pit spills across the footpath and into the next driveway. Getting yours flowing again keeps your run-off off the neighbours' property.
Small clears beat big digs
A pit cleaned each storm season never packs enough silt to need excavation, and a camera check catches a dropped socket while the repair is still a small one.

Stormwater Questions We Get
Call (07) 3067 4119Who owns the stormwater pipes on my Windsor property?
The public mains and sewer belong to Urban Utilities, but the stormwater pipes inside your boundary are the owner's to keep clear, so that is the side we work on.
Why do the stormwater drains in Windsor block every summer?
Storm season runs from November to March here, and afternoon storms run off the Eildon Hill streets fast, carrying silt and leaf litter into the pits and gullies on the ground below.
Can creek flooding stop my Windsor stormwater from draining?
It can: when Enoggera Creek runs high, the outlets on the low flats lose their fall, so cleared water still stands in gullies and driveways until the creek drops back to normal.
Will a jetter clear my line, or does stormwater work in Windsor need digging?
Mostly the jetter, because silt and leaf litter sit loose in the line, and we only suggest digging where a camera shows a collapsed length or a socket dropped out of fall.
Can Urban Utilities help with a blocked stormwater line, or is that my job?
No, the utility only handles the street side, so a blocked stormwater line inside your boundary is yours, and we jet or repair it after a camera shows what the blockage is.
