A real person answers, day or night
Rain here doesn't wait for a convenient street to fall on
Nobody finds out whether a stormwater line was ever sized properly until the sky actually opens. Call (02) 9072 0511, describe what's pooling or spilling over, and a real plumber picks up, not a machine.
Two different kinds of water, one village
- Overland flow is the daily test Every shower that lands on the ridge above the wharf has to cross gardens, driveways and retaining walls on its way down, and a pit or pipe sized wrong anywhere along that path shows it fast.
- Tidal water is the occasional one During a king tide or an east-coast low, Pittwater itself can push up over the low stretches of Pittwater Road and the car park, a separate problem from anything a stormwater pipe was ever built to hold back.
- Knowing which one you're looking at matters A yard that floods from above needs bigger pits and cleaner lines, a car park that floods from the bay needs nothing from a plumber at all, and we'll tell you honestly which is which.
Stormwater services we provide
A terraced yard gives water plenty of places to hide before it finally announces itself indoors, so every callout starts by working out exactly where along that path things are actually failing:
Silted pit clearing
Grates on the lower terraces catch whatever the upper garden lets go in a downpour, and once one seizes up we dig it out properly, check where the outlet actually leads, and confirm the fitting was ever right for that catchment.
Box gutter repair
When a box gutter dumps water into a ceiling instead of a downpipe, we hunt down whether a seam has failed or the outlet was undersized from day one, then rebuild it so the roof does its job again properly.
Terrace and step drainage
Stepped yards need channels and grated crossings built into the landings themselves, not bolted on afterward, so runoff moving between levels gets carried around stairs, sleeper walls and garden beds rather than through them.
Soakage and trench work
On blocks where the ground genuinely takes water, a properly sized soakage trench lets stormwater disappear into the earth instead of adding to whatever's already racing toward the wharf, built to suit whatever's actually under that particular yard.
Why one street copes and the next one doesn't
Nobody planned this village on a single soil type, and that's exactly why identical rainfall produces such different results a few doors apart:
- Rock sits close under the ground near the old cemetery on the hill Where sandstone crowds out the topsoil, nothing soaks away quietly, so whatever falls there has to be carried, not absorbed.
- Pockets nearer the foreshore behave completely differently Sandier ground swallows a genuine amount of runoff on its own, which changes what we'd actually recommend for a yard struggling near the water.
- Bakers Road and Walker Place aren't built on the same ground, despite sitting close together Guessing at soil type from a neighbour's fix is exactly how a repair ends up underperforming.
Common stormwater problems we fix
The same low corner floods, every time
When one particular spot fills up in every decent downpour, it's rarely bad luck twice running, it's a line further down that can't shift volume fast enough, and pinpointing exactly which section is what actually ends the pattern.
Water sits around the lower car park
Pooling near the wharf can come from the sky, from the bay, or from both together, and telling those two apart properly is the whole difference between calling a plumber and simply waiting on the tide table.
Why a stormwater problem never fixes itself
Gravity doesn't negotiate on a hillside, and the same water that misses your yard this year will eventually find whichever weak point you never got around to fixing:
- Sleeper walls hold soil, not floods Ask one to fight standing water season after season and the timber or block eventually gives, taking a garden terrace with it.
- Damp starts outside and finishes indoors Water that never had a proper path away from the house tends to find a subfloor vent or a door threshold sooner or later, usually at the worst possible moment.
- A system untested is a system unproven Pits that cope fine in a light shower can still fail completely the one afternoon a real downpour actually arrives, and that's a poor time to learn the answer.
How it works
How we fix stormwater problems, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Walk the run, then fix what's failing
Your plumber follows the whole system from wherever it starts collecting water down to where it discharges, checking every join and grate along the way, then clears, relines or rebuilds only the section genuinely at fault.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Church Point
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Church Point works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Beyond the village itself we handle stormwater work through Bayview, Clareville, Bilgola Plateau, Newport and Mona Vale, plus Scotland Island whenever gear needs to travel out by boat rather than by road.

Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions Church Point locals ask
What decides the price of a stormwater fix here?
Whatever the inspection actually turns up, from a single choked pit to an undersized line, which is exactly why tracing the fault and writing the quote never costs you anything.
Can someone get out while the yard is still filling up?
Active flooding jumps the queue immediately, and whoever answers the phone stays on the line with practical advice while a plumber is already heading your way.
Does a big king tide over the car park count as a plumbing job?
Not on its own, that's Pittwater doing what tides do, but a system that lets ordinary rain sit in your yard for hours afterward absolutely is, and that part we fix.
Two neighbours, same rainfall, one floods and one doesn't. Why?
The ground underneath changes street to street between sandstone, sand and clay, and a pit sized for one soil type can genuinely underperform a few doors along.
Is stormwater a different job from a blocked sewer line?
Completely different systems, sewer carries waste to the main while stormwater moves rain off your roof and land, and mixing the two up is the easiest way to fix the wrong thing.
If a repaired stormwater line floods again next storm, what happens?
It's covered for life under our workmanship guarantee, so a genuine fault in what we fixed gets put right on the next visit at no cost to you.
