Heavy tree-root intrusion on leafy streets

Stormwater & Flooding in Pullenvale

Surface water in Pullenvale is carried by Piped network with river-flat overland flow, which needs clearing before storm season. Because Pullenvale carries a Moderate to High (river) flood and stormwater risk, we prioritise stormwater checks ahead of heavy rain.

Why CCTV Drain Inspections Matter in Pullenvale

In Pullenvale's Pre-war Queenslanders + 1960s brick housing, pipe ages vary widely, so a camera is the only reliable way to tell an old joint from a modern run. Every drain job in Pullenvale starts with a camera. CCTV inspection reveals the true cause of a blockage — roots, grease, a collapse or a bad joint — so the fix is targeted.

How High-Pressure Water Jetting Works

High-pressure water jetting clears drains that plungers and rods can't. A jetter cuts through grease, silt and scale and scours the pipe wall back to full flow.
