Stormwater Trouble Here
This page is about rain with nowhere to go. A choked gully or underground run pushes runoff back across lawns and driveways, and in a proper storm that turns into water against walls and under doors. We find where the line has let go, clear it and leave the water moving again.
Where the Rain Goes
Keperra's flood story is mostly about surface water, not the creek. Council mapping shows neither the 1974 nor the 2011 river footprint reaching the suburb, but overland flow along streets such as Glengarry Road and Barber Street is the wider issue, so how well your gullies and pits cope matters more than how high the brook gets.
A handful of creek-side streets flood first
Burdon Street, Duggan Street, Babinda Street and Avington Street fall inside council's 2022 creek flood extent near Kedron Brook, and the drainage on those blocks is the first to give up in heavy rain.
Summer storms are the real test
The November 2008 storm damaged houses across Keperra, The Gap and Ferny Grove, and with about 1,048 mm falling in an average year, a run that is already half silted gets found out every wet season.
What We Clear
Stormwater work covers every line that carries rain off the property. Here is what a visit usually involves:
Gully trap clearing
A gully buried under leaf litter or silt stops accepting roof and yard runoff, so we dig it out and your block sheds water again before the next storm arrives.
Downpipe and roof-water lines
Water spilling at the downpipe shoe means the underground run behind it is choked, and clearing it keeps rainwater away from your footings and out of the garage.
Stormwater pits and surface drains
Pits fill with grit, leaves and garden waste over the years, so we clean them out and flush the runs, which restores the fall and the flow across the yard.
Jet blasting the line
Hydro jetting strips silt and root debris off the pipe wall under pressure, which scours the whole run clean rather than poking a hole through the blockage.
Finding the hidden choke
Where a blockage hides under lawn or paving, a CCTV drain inspection shows exactly where the line fails, so any digging happens in the one right spot.
Repairing broken stormwater pipes
A cracked or sagged section gets replaced or relined, which stops silt washing in and the same choke returning with every decent shower.
More on each method sits on our drain cleaning and CCTV drain inspection pages, and the services page lists the full drain range.
Stormwater Problems We Fix
Four problems cover most of the stormwater calls we get around the suburb:
Water pooling across the yard after rain
A line running at half capacity cannot shift a full storm's runoff, and clearing the choke restores the flow the pipes were laid to carry.
Downpipes gushing at the footing
The underground run behind the downpipe is blocked with roots or silt, and clearing it protects the footings from water sitting against them every wet season.
A pit that stays full for days
Standing water means the outlet side is choked, and flushing the line drains the pit and the low ground around it properly again.
Flooding that returns every storm season
A partly blocked line copes in light rain and fails in a proper storm, so clearing it fully before summer beats mopping up again in January.
Why Stormwater Blockages Need Quick Action
Water always finds the weak point
Runoff that cannot escape through the drains goes over the surface instead, and the next stop is a garage, a bedroom window or the neighbour's low side.
Silt never clears itself
Every storm leaves a little more grit behind in a slow line, so the capacity drops year after year until the choke that was minor becomes a total blockage.
Storm season is the deadline
The 2008 storm showed how hard a summer cell can hit this suburb, and a line cleared in spring is the one that copes when the next one lands.

Where We Work
The run covers the whole suburb and pushes out to Arana Hills, Everton Hills, Mitchelton, Enoggera and The Gap, each with its own page on this site. Stormwater calls concentrate on the low ground near Kedron Brook and on the older cottage blocks, where surface drainage has been patched and re-patched over the decades.
Stormwater Questions
Call (07) 3523 7146Why does my Keperra yard flood every time a summer storm hits?
A choked gully, pit or underground run cannot shift a storm's worth of runoff, so water pools across the yard instead of draining away, and a proper clear before storm season usually fixes it.
What decides the cost of clearing a blocked stormwater drain in Keperra?
Where the choke sits, how deep the pipes run and what caused the blockage all shape the figure, and you agree the fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Which Keperra streets cop stormwater trouble first in a big storm?
Council mapped Burdon Street and Duggan Street inside its 2022 creek flood study beside the brook, so the pits and house drains on those low blocks back up before the rest of the suburb.
How does Kedron Brook affect stormwater drains in Keperra?
When the brook rises after heavy rain, street pits along the low ground drain slowly, so a partly blocked house line has nowhere to push its runoff and the gully surges instead.
What are the signs my stormwater line is blocked?
Water pooling on the driveway, a gully that fills instead of emptying, downpipes overflowing at the base or a pit still full days after rain all point to a choke in the run.
