Keep Your Yard Safe and Dry

Stormwater problems often start small—pooling water, soft spots in the lawn or overflowing drains—and quickly become bigger, more expensive issues. We design and deliver reliable surface and sub-surface drainage systems that suit Newcastle properties of all sizes to deal with stormwater management issues before they can spiral out of control, all customised to fit your site’s specific needs.


Before starting, we inspect your property thoroughly, identify any problem areas and runoff patterns, explain the best options for your layout and make sure you understand exactly what’s involved.

It’s why so many Newcastle locals trust us for stormwater work that lasts.

All You Need To Know

  • What causes stormwater pipes to collapse or fail?

    Stormwater pipes can collapse or fail for several reasons, especially in older systems or those installed without proper preparation. Common causes include tree root intrusion, where roots seek moisture and penetrate joints or cracks; soil movement or erosion, which can cause pipe misalignment or collapse; poor initial installation, including incorrect slope or backfilling; and physical damage from construction or vehicle traffic above the pipework. In some cases, debris build-up and water pressure can also cause weak sections to fail over time. Pipe failure often results in surface water pooling, slow drainage or visible sinkholes and should be inspected via CCTV to assess the extent of the damage.

  • How can I stop water from pooling in my backyard?

    To stop water pooling in your backyard, you’ll need to improve how rainwater is collected and directed away from the problem areas. Common solutions include installing surface drains, creating gentle grading away from the house, connecting downpipes to stormwater systems, or using subsurface drains like ag lines. In some cases, a stormwater pit or channel drain may be required to collect and redirect runoff. Identifying the source of the water—whether it’s from your roof, a neighbour’s property or poor soil drainage—is the first step. A drainage assessment can help determine the most effective way to manage runoff and prevent future water build-up.

  • Do I need stormwater drainage on a sloped block?

    Yes, sloped properties almost always require a carefully planned stormwater drainage system to control the movement of runoff. Without proper drainage, water can rush downhill and cause erosion, damage retaining walls, flood lower levels or affect neighbouring properties. On sloped blocks, it’s especially important to manage both surface and subsurface water using a combination of swales, diversion channels, pits, pipework and possibly retaining wall weep holes or ag drains. Stormwater should be directed to legal discharge points in accordance with local council rules. An experienced drainage contractor can assess your site and recommend the most effective solution based on slope, soil type and structure placement.
