A Cammeray stormwater problem may appear below a driveway or behind a retaining wall. Keep clear of unstable ground and explain the water path, including whether it occurs only during rain.

Leaves and sediment reduce pit capacity; roots or damaged pipework may restrict the connected line. Water at a retaining wall needs care because drain clearing does not establish structural condition.
Tell us about rising toilet water, slow wastes, gurgling, overflowing gullies or pits holding water. One affected fixture may have a local restriction; several affected fixtures can point further along the connected line.
Give driveway grade, steps, rear-gate and parking details. Mention walls or visible ground movement without approaching hazardous edges.
Tunks Park is a local orientation reference. Give the full street address and actual entrance when booking; a landmark does not identify your drainage or access.
Current coverage is confirmed by full street address. Call with the symptoms and urgency to confirm the next available response.
Accessible pits and outlets are assessed before cleaning. Wet extraction or jetting may remove suitable deposits; CCTV and locating can investigate repeat restrictions. A failed section needs a separate repair scope.
Restoring flow and repairing a defect are separate tasks. Where damaged joints, poor fall or a failed section are found, the evidence and proposed repair scope are explained before agreement.
Urgent calls are taken 24 hours, 7 days a week. Do not enter a pit or confined space to investigate.
Investigate slow pits, overflowing downpipes and yard drainage before the next heavy rainfall.
Read the methodSee inside accessible drainage lines to locate roots, damage, displaced joints and recurring restrictions.
Read the methodTargeted excavation and pipe replacement when clearing reveals a broken, displaced or failed drain.

Planning considerations include steep blocks, retaining walls and rear stormwater routes. Your property's actual layout matters more than its postcode. Tell us which openings are accessible and whether another household or business shares the affected line.
Talk through Access and SymptomsThese are starting points for the assessment, not a diagnosis of every property in Cammeray.
Does the pit stay full after rain, or does water miss the inlet and collect elsewhere?
Removing deposits addresses a maintenance blockage. Persistent ponding after clearing needs investigation of the route, levels and outlet before further work is proposed.
Read the Stormwater Drains GuideCan the camera reach the section, and is there enough visibility to interpret it?
A visible defect becomes more useful for repair planning when its location can be related to the surface. Access, approximate depth and nearby structures then help define the next step.
Read the CCTV Drain Inspections GuideNo. Stay away from unstable or saturated ground. Drain and structural concerns need appropriate assessment.
Only if the restriction caused it. Inlet position, pipe condition and downstream capacity may also need investigation.
Describe steps and route width when calling. Safe equipment handling must account for the approach.
Both can overflow, but need different investigation. Report timing and odour without touching the water.
Give driveway grade, steps, rear-gate and parking details. Mention walls or visible ground movement without approaching hazardous edges. Share the full Cammeray address, symptoms and urgency so current coverage and the next available response can be confirmed.
Stop using connected fixtures and keep people and pets away. Avoid chemicals and do not lift heavy drain covers. Urgent calls are taken 24 hours, 7 days a week. Explain the affected area and safe-access restrictions.
Different streets and building types can need different access arrangements.
