Stormwater Pits, Subsoil Drainage and Ag Line Installation

We are on hand to install subsoil drainage solutions to stop surface water sitting in your yard

Clearing Blocked Drains

The drainage work that actually fixes the problem

Surface drains move water that is already on the surface. When the ground itself stays wet, when water sits under the slab, or when the stormwater has nowhere to go, the fix is below ground and it needs to be engineered rather than guessed.
 
We install stormwater pits, subsoil drainage, ag lines and charged systems across the Hills District, north west Sydney and the Hawkesbury, with our own machinery.

The Drainage Solutions we install For Homes and Properties

Stormwater pits and grated pits

Pits installed at the right levels, connected properly, with grates suited to the traffic going over them. A pit at the wrong level moves nothing.

Subsoil drainage

Where the problem is water in the ground rather than on top of it. Subsoil lines intercept it and take it somewhere useful instead of letting it sit under a slab, a driveway or a lawn.

Ag line and agi pipe installation

Slotted pipe in aggregate, wrapped and laid to fall, which is the part most DIY installs get wrong. Laid flat or unwrapped it silts up and stops working within a season.

Charged stormwater systems

Where the stormwater has to run below the outlet and rise to discharge, a charged system does it without a pump. They have to be sealed, laid and vented correctly, and they need a way to be cleaned out.

Stormwater connections and re-routing

Connecting to the legal point of discharge, or re-routing a system that was never right.

Retaining wall and behind-wall drainage

The right drainage is crucial behind retaining walls. If water has no where to go, the force of wet ground behind the wall is what causes it to fail and create a landslide.

Detention and retention tanks

Where a development approval requires on-site detention, we install and plumb the tank to the approved design. The tank itself comes from the manufacturer, and we handle the excavation, the install and the connection.

Pump wells and stormwater pumps

Where gravity cannot do it.

Excavation and trenching

Our own machinery, so the dig is not a separate booking and a separate delay.

We just moved into our new home and walked in to find 2 leaks coming from the downstairs bathroom ceiling. We called The Plumbing Paramedics and they sent Kyle over. He was friendly and a good communicator. He was thorough when seeking to find the leak. He was able to locate the issue in a damaged upstairs toilet by performing a leak detection test. He removed the damaged toilet and installed a new one for us. If you want an efficient plumbing service and clear communication from office staff, call The Plumbing Paramedics.

We recently experienced a plumbing emergency with water leaking from our ceiling and called Plumbing Paramedics for help. Kyle and Josh arrived promptly and quickly identified the source as a burst pipe. They were professional and knowledgeable throughout, taking the time to clearly explain the issue before proceeding, and completed the repair along with installing a new pressure valve in under 90 minutes. As a family with young children, we greatly appreciated their efficiency and the peace of mind their work provided. We highly recommend them and will use them again!

How we work out what the property needs

  • We look at where the water actually goes. Not where the plan says it goes. On most problem properties those are different.
  • We find the legal point of discharge. Everything downstream of that is decided by it.
  • We check the fall. Most failed drainage is a fall problem, and no amount of extra pipe fixes it.
  • We work out whether it is surface or subsoil. Those are completely different jobs. Putting a surface drain on a subsoil problem is the most common wasted spend we see.
  • We tell you what it will and will not fix. If the answer is bigger than you were hoping, we would rather say it before the machine arrives.

Frequently Asked Stormwater Questions

Usually. If the water is not running off, a surface drain will not help much. Subsoil drainage intercepts it in the ground, which is a different install.

Slotted pipe laid in aggregate that collects water from the soil. They fail when they are laid without fall, without a wrap, or with the wrong backfill, and they silt up. Done properly they last decades.

A sealed system that fills with water and pushes it up to a discharge point, used where the stormwater runs below the outlet. They work well when installed correctly and cause problems when they are not sealed or cannot be cleaned out.

It depends on what is being done and where it discharges. We will tell you when approval is involved.

Usually the line out of it is undersized, blocked, or the pit is at the wrong level. A camera answers it quickly.
